The difference I think is that the staff really connect and, dare I say, love the kids, which makes them feel safe and nurtured and ready to be kids!Įarly childhood is such a vital time for setting the tone for the rest of a person’s education and to have such a team of devoted, professional and loving people giving their all in such a fun, happy and safe environment is pure gold. It looked like kids played there, the room we looked at smelled like small kids, paper glue and delicious food and every child we saw looked happy and like they were happy being there.Īll three of our kids have loved or still love being there and benefitted hugely from all the experiences and activities they get to do that you would be hard pressed pulling together in a week at home, yet that is their day at Chatterbox. Then we walked into Chatterbox at Taringa. We were typical fretful first time parents and had already had some disappointing experiences when looking at other centres. “Our family found Chatterbox when our eldest child was just about to turn 2. This speaks volumes to the happiness and commitment that Chatterbox as a company has to their staff and consequently the follow on effect that has to the care of my child.” In the 2 and half years I’ve been at the centre we have had one change in the staff to my sons room. This was the assistants in the room as well. I am most impressed and what has ideally been the most important aspect of Chatterbox is that at the last induction evening held, all the carers at the centre had or were currently studying for their diploma in child services. I get this information relayed back to me. Without a “formal school structure” there is oodles of learning involved too, in such an effective way. This is most evident in the conversations I have at home and the fact that on a regular basis his educators are included in conversation with a tone of love and affection. The relationships my son has formed with all the carers in the centre (not just with the lead educator in the room) leaves me feeling like the staff treat “my little man” like he is their own. Quite simply my son has thrived from his time at the centre. “After switching services 2 and half years ago to Chatterbox I realised what services a daycare should be providing. We understand the great responsibility that each family places in us when choosing our service and we will always do our best to meet your needs and not only live up to, but exceed your expectations. That understanding continues today and we work hard to provide quality learning experiences in a warm, nurturing environment that will lay the foundation for each child’s future success in life.Īt Chatterbox we strive to provide a place where families feel comfortable to leave their precious children knowing they will be first and foremost safe, but also nurtured and cared for with every opportunity to play and learn. For the past 30 years, Chatterbox Early Learning and Child Care Centres have understood the important role that we play in the lives of our children and their families. The importance of the early years of a child’s life is widely acknowledged as a vital period in children’s learning and development.
