For me, it's all about ensuring children and families are included and feel welcome in a centre that is culturally safe for them. Our daughter started at Kindercare Belmont in January 2021 at 17 months old. Right from the very first day, when the staff were dealing with my tears more than hers, I knew we had found the perfect daycare for our girl. She will leave Kindercare Belmont in August this year, once she turns 5 and heads off to school.
