Unacceptable Behavior from Staff!
I recently had a very troubling experience with the staff at this kindergarten, which left my 9-year-old son feeling emotionally distressed.
We have been living next door for the last 6years and, and as any normal child at his age would, my son was interacting with the children from the school over the fence (which is about his height on our side, so easy for him to chat with them).
Shockingly, one of the staff members threatened to call the police on him, claiming it was private property, and even went as far as yelling to the other children that he was a "naughty boy."
Yesterday, he asked me if someone could go to jail for simply talking to people over the fence, showing some distress and fear. Immediately I asked him where this idea came from and he explained the situation.
Today, I went to address this incident with the staff, hoping to get them to say sorry and I would ask my son to ask them if talking to their kids was a problem, if that was disturbing, he would stop.
To my dismay, the staff member involved was extremely rude, without any words said she started to take pickles and shout on us.
It is disappointing and unacceptable for someone working with children to behave in such a manner.
Staff should be trained on how to properly interact with children and their communities, and threatening or shaming a child in front of others is certainly not an appropriate way to educate or discipline anyone.
We are considering legal advice if this issue is not promptly addressed, and we expect a sincere apology for the distress caused to my child.
I would strongly caution anyone considering this school to be aware of the staff’s unprofessional behavior.
The bond my daughter has with her Dee Why teachers and friends is really endearing.
Nothing but good things to say about DY Kindergarten : )
I moved my son after a bad experience in another kindy and what a difference! Amazing, friendly, professional staff that have been working there for many years.
Since starting at DY kindy my son's behaviour improved a lot too and I wish he would have gone there since he was little!
I have been lucky enough to be a part of the DY Kindy community for 6 yrs now from starting my first at 18months till now my third just starting. The centre is warm and inviting and the educators love your children as their own. I honestly can say I would never choose anywhere else and when the day comes that my last child goes to school I know all three have had the best start to their education being at DY Kindy !
Lovely staff, great facilities, definitely recommend this Childcare centre.
Dee Why Kindergarten has been one of the best experience for my child. At such an important and formative time in our children's lives, we are extremely grateful to have educators whom we wholeheartedly trust to care for and nurture our kids in a way which enables them to: feel safe, to grow physically, to develop their emotional skills and resilience, to learn, to play, to develop life skills, to make friends, to create, to explore and inquire, to take care of their world and to engage with important issues around first nations people. They have already contributed so much to their little lives and they are much better human beings because of your contribution.
Great Kindy. Decent play area outside for each classroom. Friendly Teachers.
My child kept getting sent my home for a high temperature but when home had no temperature and was fine and happy. Happened way too many times. Left and it does not happen at all elsewhere.
I’d recommend some new policies in place so it’s officially signed off and logged if children are sent home ill. Seems to us like it was just getting abused if it was a busy day.
Dee Why Kindergarten is a wonderful, caring and creative child care.
Every educator is warm, friendly and open to child and family input.
Both my children have been at the centre for 6 months.
They enjoy going and are always happy when I pick them up.
I highly recommend Dee Why Kindergarten.
Where do I begin?
It's hard to put into words how fantastic this kindergarten is as there are so many positive aspects.
If you're looking for an ultra nurturing, kind and caring environment for your children to thrive in, then look no further!
I have two very different children that attend and they have both loved it from day one. All the educators are so engaged, that you hear from multiple sources exactly what kind of a day your child has had, from play to food to sleep. It amazes me how much attention they pay and how much they genuinely care about your little one.
Then there is the global style of learning, it blows me away everyday when I see what activities the children have engaged in and how much they have enjoyed the topic no matter what it is. The school readiness program is brilliant too.
If there was 6 stars I wouldn't hesitate to use it to describe how good the service is.
