Hi everyone
I am thinking of enrolling my 2.5 yo in daycare for 1 day a week (mainly for socialisation and learning purposes). He doesn't have a lot of speech happening and I thought this may encourage him. I know of a few centres in the area (Camden & Narellan) but really would like some recommendations or personal experience with any of them. I really want to get him into a fun, supportive and caring place. Does anyone have any input, recommendations or advice? TIA

Hi there!
My DD, aged 4 goes to Macarthur Early Learning at Elderslie. Its a fairly new centre (opened in Jan 2012). We are extremely happy there. The staff, facilities, programs are great. Pretty sure there is a waiting list tho. Hope this helps |

My son was slow to speak. We sent him to Camden Cottage in Camden one day a week at 27 months and they were excellent. He loved the workers there and it is a lovely family environment. I cannot recommend that daycare highly enough.
I do feel his talking improved by going, even one day a week, as it forced him to communicate with other people and increased his confidence. We have since moved and my son still talks fondly of Camden Cottage. Good luck! |

Thank you both!
We are actually starting him at Camden Cottage next week I know it is going to be great for him. We went to visit the other day and he didn't want to leave! |
