Testimonials

Our son has attended Reggio Emilia Early Learning Centre in Gladstone St Parramatta since shortly before he turned 1. Staff at the Centre have encouraged and developed him and given him exposure to many different activities, ideas and knowledge. He is now almost ready for primary school and the centre has helped prepare him for the next chapter of his life.

Trudy

Reggio is more than an early learning centre – it is a family. My children have enjoyed growing with the wonderful staff who have love and care for them as if they are their own. I enjoy watching the bonds they have developed between the staff and feel confident their social, emotional and loving needs are being met.

Courtney

Both of our kids have had the pleasure of attending Reggio Emilia and we couldn’t be happier with the care and support they have received. The staff are amazing, they are always creating new and fun ways for the kids to learn and I couldn’t recommend them enough.

Tara

The teachers and staff are absolutely the best! My son has been going there for over a year. He loves all of his teachers and has so much fun learning, The staff and teachers care so much for each child who attends the centre. I have always seen the staff go above and beyond to ensure the safety and care of each child and always keep parents informed. My son loves to go to school and he asks about school even on weekends 🙂

Praveen

My children have been attending Reggio Emilia at Gladstone St for four years and have been very well cared for in that time. The teachers have helped them through all of their developmental challenges and I have full confidence in their ability to manage my sons when they are upset, cheeky or anxious about something. I am constantly surprised by the things my kids learn and think they are offered a good range of activities. Mostly I love that my boys are always welcomed and the teachers are warm and caring. Even if my boys are having a bad morning, I know they will settle well and have a good day.
