What is aptga famous for?

• My Daughter has been attending for nearly 2 years now. I cannot recommend every single avenue of this place enough! From the extremely experienced and nurturing educators, the hospital grade clean settings and the food- it's tempting to show up with a plate myself at lunch time!!! As a single parent, my daughter was a little weary of men as she hadn't been around many. I Love that A Place To Grow has both male and female educators (Pablo quickly became the love of my daughters life) he bought her out of her shell and she feels comfortable, safe and happy around him. The organisation, communication and experience between all the Educators and staff & Families is 5 stars! We moved from a different daycare to this one and we will NOT be going anywhere else until School time! ENROL, YOU WONT REGRET IT :)

• My son is into his third year at A Place To Grow and he has bloomed in its care. From a clingy, internalising child he has become a conversational, confident little boy. This school has the most beautiful, nurturing, secure environment, with individual care afforded every child. Any time my son is upset at drop-off, a teacher swoops in to distract him. And it is like that every single day of the year. Without exaggerating, this centre has it all... incredible teachers, an equally incredible facility, and a learning program that perfectly juggles education with play. I am very proud to have my children here. I would not think about sending them anywhere else.

• My daughter attended APTG since it opened and my son will attend in the near future. I highly recommend APTG. The staff are professional, caring, committed and experienced. The staff worked with me and my daughter to assist her with her separation anxiety and to grow and develop into a confident, socially aware and inquisitive young girl who enjoys learning. The environment is nurturing and stimulating. The excellent programming and vast range of enriching experiences provided her with the knowledge and skills for a smooth transition into primary school. My daughter started primary school with excellent literacy and numeracy knowledge thanks to the staff at APTG. The centre has the highest levels of cleanliness at all times and the staff are always available to assist and work together with parents. It was a wonderful experience and I look forward to my son starting his education at APTG.

• We've been sending our children to APTG since it opened and I'm completely happy with all that it has to offer. The centre has a clean, open feel to it and from the owner to director, to the teachers, to the cook!... they're all very different but all very fantastic in their own ways. There's a great mix of people from many cultures working there and I love it that the kids are learning about other cultures aswell. There's a teacher to foster any kind of side of my child - it's a bonus to have a male around - they both love Pablo, and the artistic side of my girls is being nurtured well; both my daughters also enjoy 'helping' so the teachers give them little jobs for them to feel proud of. When both my girls started in the more 'advanced'/preschool level their letters and number comprehension advances were obvious - a credit to the teachers they make it fun and the kids were ASKING for homework! The excursions are good too; not to mention the special friendships they've made. The centre is a total professional outfit and I recommend it to anyone.

• We love coming to APTGA because the atmosphere is so warm, welcoming, safe & friendly. All of the staff are amazing, professional and happy. This makes it easy leaving your kids for the day, especially when drop off has been emotional. The centre is always so clean and organised, even with so many children running around. Having a peaceful outlook with lots of greenery is also very good for the children. You are all amazing, keep up the great work!!

• My son Duke LOVES coming to APTGA. He gets so excited driving down the street knowing we are close to his school. I have to allow an extra 30 min for pick up as he never wants to leave. We love how caring and nurturing all the teachers are and really treat the kids like family. We also love the learning environment you have created, it's not just about looking after children but actually teaching them and allowing them to grow, develop, explore in an amazingly comfortable fun environment. My husband & I can't thank APTGA enough!

• APTGA has a wonderfully nurturing and caring environment that all children thrive in. They have extraordinary teachers who look after the children as if they are their own. They engage the students in a range of activities all day long and every day holds something exciting and new for the children. The pre-school room prepares the older children for school through a comprehensive school preparation program which allows a smoother transition to the school environment. I can not recommend APTGA highly enough and have one child currently attending and one who has recently finished and transitioned to kindergarten! If you want an amazing learning environment with nurturing teachers you should look no further than APTGA!

• Your preschool chef is fabulous! The menus are not only nutritious and tasty but there is variety. I popped in last week to personally thank chef for the wonderful job she is doing!!! I really appreciate all the thought and effort that goes into her menus. I can see she is very passionate about her work.

• I asked C "What makes his school the best" and he said "PABLO, painting and lots of fun with Ricky playing trucks". Me personally, it's his learning skills, they have come so far in just these few weeks back after the Xmas break!

• I don't like sending my children here, I LOVE IT! The immensely clean centre and exceptional food are amazing, but what really lights my fire is the exceptional program in both the downstairs and upstairs rooms which is then professionally executed by the talented and warm educators.
