Testimonials

Elyse, Hibiscus Children’s Centre

“I just wanted to thank you. Firstly, for listening but also for helping me put together a clear list of what to do next when my non-profit centre was being pushed out of an in-need community area. I have always turned to your organisation as a sounding board and for advice. You got back to me and followed up with me, I really appreciated your time and effort.  My centre educators, parents and children thank you.”

Sue, Greenmeadows Preschool

“You do so much so well. For me it’s about having support when I need it. The Essential Guide has saved the day so many times, it’s great being able to pull it out and have a starting point. Also, being able to call and chat has also been helpful. And I love those really simple guides. I use them with staff a lot and I’ve recently started using them with students. We always wish we’d organised more cover so we could stay longer at your events!”

Kerrie, Cheeky Cherubs Preschool
