Our Dakabin Kids Early Learning Centre

Testimonials

“My granddaughter attends Sesame Lane Dakabin and loves going. She looks forward to her days there. The staff are caring and attentive, and well trained in the art of childcare.
I have no hesitation in recommending this centre.” Christine Zavattaro Hartmann

“Amazing staff! My son loves going in the mornings” Megan Streek

“We recently moved our daughter over to this centre at the beginning of this year due to a change in work commitments. I was a little bit hesitant about moving her as I didn’t know how this would impact her socially and emotionally. It was a rough start as my daughter experienced a whole new separation anxiety due to her having some awareness of what was going on. However the staff at Dakabin made this whole experience easier and within weeks she was running to the educators. Not only this but my daughter’s language skills have flourished and the communication with her educators is outstanding. I never feel like I’m bothering anyone when I ask a question and the educators will always try to speak to me about her day.

The Centre Manager, Megan, and her staff have been great at communicating concerns and incidents. Megan will always greet me and every person who walks through the front door. She also knows the children, which I think is the most important as I can assume she is in the rooms working with children and staying in touch with her practice. I’m really looking forward to seeing my daughters journey at Sesame Lane Dakabin! Thank you so much for providing an outstanding service for our family” Shauna Grice
