Perfect Beginnings Child Care Centre

"Sending my daughter to PB was the best thing I've ever done. I was searching for centre that not only accepted my child's differences but also embraced them and I found that here. It makes my heart so happy to see her so excited to go on her daycare days. I can't thank the staff enough for being so inclusive and supportive."

"EMP Perfect Beginnings is a wonderful daycare that caters to the social and emotional needs of the child. They closely follow soothing measures that babies use at home, stick to their routine as much as possible, and take time to create meaningful relationships to help ease the transition to daycare. I love seeing the staff smile warmly to greet the children each morning, it makes the children feel loved and secure. As well as this, after doing tours of many other centres in the area, their outdoor play area is an absolute stand out. They also go above and beyond to provide rich, hands on learning experiences that engage and entertain the children. With bush kindy programs, lots of outdoor play and play based learning experiences, I really feel this daycare is a stand out in our area. I also love that they provide professional development for their staff as it highlights their commitment to the children in their care."

"I visit many services in my job and I can’t speak highly enough of the staff at Perfect Beginnings! They all clearly care about each of the children in their care. The inclusion of our First Nations People’s perspectives and all cultures from around our world are visibly imbedded into the environment and learning program. The learning space is beautifully designed and the child lead program is evident in how settled and calm the learning space is. If you are looking for a service who exceeds in the areas of relationships with children, developing engaging learning programs, and practices inclusion everyday, then this is the service for your little one!"

"Let me say a few things based on my experience of sending my child to this center from the age of 8 months: 1. My child has been hurt for the past 4days continuously. Her gums and lip were torn, her lips were bleeding, her cheeks and forehead were bruised and swollen, and her face was chafed with fingernails of someone. What's even more shocking is that the educator was not even aware of the fact that the child's mouth was torn, and blood was pooling on the lips. So, when I asked the center manager and operation manager about this situation where accidents happen continuously for 4 days, the answer was that accidents are a daily occurrence and that all children in this center are injured every day. They didn't even say a word that they would look more carefully, they were very imposing, which made me admire. 2. The child has quite a few allergies. So, it must be your duty to ensure your child's safety by strictly following the allergy management plan. a. However, in the photo of my child uploaded by the center, my child had a dummy(pacifier) in her mouth which is not her. So, I asked the center manager to confirm why this happened, but I haven't heard back until now. b. Also, when I went to pick up my child, I asked the educator what my child had for lunch today. And the educator told me that my child ate pumpkin. That was my child not able to eat. And these kinds of issue were happened more than 2times since then. But most of time, I was able to hear from the team leader that the educator had misunderstood and my child hadn't eaten food my child couldn't eat at all. Whose are true, and why do educators say differently? c. My child has a cow milk allergy, so she can only eat the prescribed formula. However, I saw that an educator was connecting another child's nipple to my child's bottle. So, I made them aware immediately, and I was able to prevent an accident. It's scary to even think about it now. 3. My child has been attending this center since she was about 8 months old. However, my child was filled with newborn diapers, which resulted in a lot of rashes and scars on the skin. What was the educator thinking when she did this? I had a lot of faith in this center that has a rating of Exceeding. So, I thought that the numerous accidents that were not listed above and were not a problem so far could happen in the process of my baby's growth. I believe that positions such as "the center manager and the operation manager" should have the responsibility to educate educators and put the safety of our children first. And I still can't forget below answer from the center manager and the operation manager. "It's no one's fault, and every child at this center gets hurt every day. And it's normal for accidents like this to happen, so we can't protect your child from the incident." It is amazing answer. In perfect beginnings childcare center, there are only children who have had accidents and who have been harmed, and no one takes responsibility or tries to fix the problem. I didn't expect their apology, but I didn't even hear that I was sorry. So, I think I have to save at least my child from this perfect beginning childcare center."
