This place saved me from ultimate insanity at the end of last year - and as a hard marker of child care and education centres in general - I can't speak more highly of this bunch.
Move to a new city, my four year old taken away from her day care centre, now at home with boring mummy all day, and then mummy has another baby. AAARRRGGHH! I quickly realised that my daughter needed at least one day of stimulation per week in a child care setting with kids her own age.
Enter the Oak Park Children's Centre...sigh. From the moment I went in to check the place out they made my daughter feel like part of the group, the orientation process was thorough and I was made part of it which was fantastic. Not coming into the centre into half way through August, her teachers still managed to put together a report of her time there, together with a bunch of arts, crafts, writing and other bits and pieces she'd done in her time there.
Complete with end of year concert and break up with Santa and presents, I was amazed at the professionalism but happiness and joy I felt everytime I went here. My daughter went to kinder this year at another centre but still speaks of her short time at OPCC.
Permanent, long day care places available from just six weeks of age to five years. Kinder program also available in the four to five rooms. Highly recommended. read more
