### null review (5/5)

Our 2 kids loved TLS and really thrived under the care of such wonderful teachers. I knew nothing about childcare philosophy at the start of our daycare journey but am really grateful we stumbled upon a centre guided by Pikler/Gerber philosophy - we learnt so much as parents by seeing how the teachers interacted with and spoke to our children, kindly, respectfully and encouraging their autonomy while still ensuring boundaries. The teachers have been consistently excellent, always calm and kind, and obviously genuinely enjoying spending time with the children and sharing their stories with us at the end of the day at pickup. Highly recommend, thanks TLS team for being such a wonderful part of all our lives for the last 6 years! 😊

Our son just loves and thrives in TLS! The care, support and attention he receives every day has been exceptional. We feel all his carers are so loving, kind and patient with him and have really gotten to know his personality and all the different things he enjoys and how best he learns. We love the calm atmosphere with morning tea, calming music, gentle interactions and never feel he is hurried allowing him to settle into his day at his own pace and learn in a safe environment.

I spent a lot of time looking around many daycares across the Shore, and this one is by far the best. My son has been here for two years now and is absolutely thriving. The teachers are wonderful, highly educated, and genuinely care for the children as if they were their own. His learning and development have come so far, and the environment is always warm, safe, and engaging. The food is great too, which is a huge bonus! Couldn’t recommend this daycare more.
