“When I first visited this center, the receptionist greeted me gently, and the manager keep smiling when we talk, which made me feel very warm. The owner told me that she build this center to contribute to the community, and she is willing to provide free nappies, pick-up and drop-off services, as well as excursions. She hopes that the children in the community can grow into confident learners in a safe and culturally diverse learning environment. My 2-year-old son had so much fun in the room that he didn't want to leave. I highly recommend this center.”
