What parents say
“From our first walk through with Nat, she made us feel super welcome. Nat is a wonderful director, very compassionate and loves all the little ones. All of the teachers are amazing as well. The centre is on the smaller side so our child gets loads of attention and support. A centre full of heart and soul for your little one!”
Kacie, Chifley parent (Google review)
“Our two daughters attended First Class for more than six years combined, and we couldn’t have hoped for a more caring and nurturing environment. Our girls always felt safe, supported and happy there. Communication, professionalism and care have always been exceptional.”
Katie, parent of two (Google review)
“The educators are caring, professional, and genuinely invested in the children’s wellbeing and development. Linda always comes home happy and excited to share what she has learned each day. A warm, nurturing and engaging environment. We would highly recommend First Class to other families.”
