“An awesome program for the children encouraging a variety of sports and skills developing the children’s awareness, health and team work.”

“I like to do different things like racing, jumping, kicking and I like soccer. It makes my heart beat faster. It’s lots of fun.”

“We went to the esplanade and Luca went straight up to the Ready Steady Go Kids sport circuit. We were surprised that Luka (Toddler) knew the Lady and what to do on this circuit.”

“We tap sticks and do choo choo trains. Stacey has different instruments and you get a stamp. She has a bee puppet too. You can sing and stomp your feet.”

“I like to see Ciara join the other children and do the music program”

“Mini Maestros is beneficial for the children’s interest in music by introducing them to beats, rhymes and discovering techniques of tones and pitches.”

“This is FANTASTIC for a selling point when doing centre tours. Our families are talking with their friends about the added benefits of using our service, a big contributing factor is the Early Start Programs.”

“These programs provide additional stimulation outside the carer’s current skillsets. Given my child is in the centre a majority of the week the additional activities are the ones I would like to be exposing her to. I have noticed her engagement levels have increased and she is so excited to be going to day care. We are getting lots of lovely singing around the house and chat about her yoga”

“I love the programs. As a mum with one child and not working I was able to do these activities away from Daycare. Now with 2 children and working full time I don't get the time to do. Now it is incorporated in my kids days, I think it’s a GREAT initiative - well done and THANK YOU”

"I am very pleased that you have these programs running. My little boy comes home singing in Italian. I love the fact that he is being exposed to a range of things that I would not have been able to myself. I’m one happy parent!"

“I wanted to say how thrilled I am that these programs have been running. It's an enormous benefit to my girls and they are sessions that I'd love to take them to if I wasn't working”

“I think these programs are invaluable in developing essential skills that build a strong foundation for future learning and achievement”
