Our kids really enjoy going to Little Genius Academy! Staff is friendly, attentive, and creative…read more We feel well informed about their days and are happy with food, activities, and the environment provided. The only thing that keeps us from that final star is outdoor time as the facility is indoor only. However, as far as I hear little field trips are being planned so hopefully some fresh air adventures will be happening soon. Also, I personally find it incredibly cold in there and would appreciate a few extra degrees off the AC - the kids don't seem to mind though : ) PS: Ask for a discount if you work in the building!

amazing, the service was perfect. the quality was even better, the value u gain from this is…read moreimmaculate. the kids were perfect and kind towards my son, Brendons review was such a lie, they are so sweet. they treated everyone great especially the kids.

Could not get my child out of here fast enough, there's a reason why all the other Child Care's in…read morethe area are booked up and this 'academy' had vacancy available. I could write in detail the weekly negative experiences I had at this Day Facility, but when I dared mention it to the supervisor he used it against me and our family and called us whingers. For the record, sent our kids to other daycare's nearby and elsewhere and never complained as never had any issues. I start by questioning whether the early learning professionals can actually speak English and whether they have Australian accreditation. Lets say they do, when I speak to them I have no confidence this is the case. Lets focus on one incident, when I picked up my child he was soaking wet and though this happens, the lack of explanation was the worse part and including Montessori making excuses about how my child peed on themselves (though they didn't bother to change him) or it was my fault when I washed his hands? Accidents happen, but playing the blame game wrongly is the worse part and this was 'endless' including when my child came home with a bruise or had to tell me he was hit by another child, its the lack of explanation or knowing when it happens is the most concerning. Your child and your money, but I couldn't pull my child out fast enough and so glad I did!!! Loads of better choices nearby and well worth the wait.

This playgroup is busy. Great if you want to chat with other mums (or dads) not so great when there…read morearen't enough brushes and easels for your child to paint. Saying that this doesn't happen often. The painting happens outside under the trees and beside the play equipment. They have a whole heap of other creative activities for the kids from collage puzzles and play dough, a water and sand play area, singing and musicreading time, dramatic play and fine motor skills activities. Kids between 0 and 5 are invited to join in. My daughter was nine months old when we started and though she can't do a lot of the activities she seems to enjoy being around the older kids and clapping at sing time. There is a room with toys and cushions for the little ones to roll around in. If you have one or more children over 18 months it costs $10.00 and if your little one is under 18 months the cost is $5. Each extra child is $2.50. It's only open during the school term between Monday and Thursday from 10am -12.30pm. When you get there ask someone where the sign in sheet and tin to pay is - it works on a trust system so you need to remember to put your contribution in before you leave.

What I love about going here is that it's so busy you can get away with not to talking to anyone…read moreelse! I can read a book (guilt free), keep an eye on my son (who three so pretty self-sufficient) and know that he's having a ball. A few of my friends think that it's a bit cliquey, whilst I don't find it so, I can see that it'd be a different experience if I went there with a younger child looking for friendship. There are some pretty established groupings going on, which appear to be a bit hard to penetrate. The fact that it's spread out over so many activities makes it tricky for adults to get a good conversation flowing...but that's always an issue with kids...however little people love it. The families that attend are on the whole pretty good but can sometimes be a bit lax in policing the bigger kids who career down the slope in run-along-cars - that from the mother of a bigger kid too! If you park in the council carpark next door, Corinne can validate your parking to get a discount (do it when you pay in the first door to the left as you enter). Watch out for the team from James Place Cafe who come around at 11am to take coffee orders.
