WHAT OUR FAMILIES
HAVE TO SAY
My 14-month-old daughter has had a wonderful experience at this day care. She settled in quickly and enjoys her days, thanks to the caring staff, especially Ellisa, Samanthi, and a few others. Their warmth and attention make her feel safe and happy. The day care is clean, well-organized, and has lots of fun and educational activities that keep her engaged.I highly recommend this day care to any parent. The staff is friendly and keeps us updated with regular reports and photos. It's a great place where my daughter feels loved and learns new things every day.

I can't recommend YA schofields, Alex Ave highly enough for anyone looking for an early learning centre for their child. It became a home away from home for my two kids due to the caring and vibrate nature of the educators in every room. The growth I have seen in my two kids (both socially and academically) has been nothing short of amazing. Thankyou YA Schofields staff and keep up the great work!

Cannot recommend this quality childcare centre enough. After starting my first born the year it opened to now my 3rd baby has almost finished her first year in the babies room I have already recommended to friends and we’re lucky enough to get a spot and 100% agree. The educators are the best of the best ! The genuine and outstanding communication, care and passion they have is priceless when talking about care for your babies!!! They are like family and cannot thank them enough :)

I was patiently waiting for nearly one and half years to put my little man to Ready2 Learn Daycare centre in Schofields because I have heard positive reviews about this centre from mums in my local community. I take this opportunity to drop a few words from my personal experience, out of my busy schedule because I truly believe the teachers and staff at the centre deserve this recognition for their commitment, dedication and hard work they put through every day to look after our kids.I have visited more than 10 daycare centres near my area looking for the best centre with services and facilitates and no centre could benchmark to the standard delivered by Ready2Learn. What I like most is the love and care given by these wonderful teachers at the centre on top of the quality of standards they maintain. I always feel that they really enjoy what they do more than doing a job. I must thank all the teachers at the baby room ( Linda, Jane , Maheshi and two more teachers whom I cannot remember their names ) who provide an excellent care for my little one while I am at work. Every morning when I walk into the room to drop him, we are all welcomed with a beautiful smile on their faces even it could be very stressful for them with so many unsettled babies around. I am confident that all mums in other age groups have very similar experiences because I do observe that other teachers also enjoy the time with bigger kids.The newly appointed Education Director ( Amy) is an excellent team leader. Every mum talks about her positive and helpful attitude and she is being highly recognised by many mums who bring their kids to the Centre from ‘’The avenue community’’. Keep up the good job !!!My message to any mum who is searching for the best childcare centre in Town, this is the place for it!RegardsAkain's mum
