testimonials
"I have tried many child care centres with my daughter and was unhappy with all of them until I experienced Wingate Child Care. Wow, what an amazing place!! From my first tour with J I was sold on the happy children, the smiling staff, the HUGE outdoor play areas and the beautiful play areas inside. My daughter wanted to stay after the tour!! Within the first 2 weeks of being there, my daughter had met the pet rabbit, the pet tortoises and was even part of seeing the baby chickens hatch out!! The food was healthy and she loved eating there. The group time was well thought out and taught the children to sit quietly, learn new subjects and follow the rules of cleaning up as a team. They even did Yoga one day! I highly recommend this centre, we were sad to leave to attend sessional 4 year old kinder this year, but always have fond memories. Thank you, Wingate!"
