…East Cannington is a wonderful daycare. My son has been attending since he was 18 months, and he loves it (he’s 4 yrs old now).
The teachers are all very kind, caring, and attentive. My son also loves the natural outdoor environment they have and has even been on a few bushwalks across the road.
We’ve had nothing but a great experience with Mosman Park After School Care.
Steevie and the team show genuine care and warmth every day, creating a space where our son feels safe, happy, and excited to go. He especially loves the Friday baking sessions—he always brings home extra for his little brother, who can’t wait to join next year.
Youth Parliament has given me incredible opportunities.
The confidence, leadership and community skills I’ve developed and the relationships I’ve built have shaped my career. I wouldn’t be where I am today without YP!
If the EEAI bus was not running I wouldn’t be able to get my kids to school.
I also appreciate the texts and notifications of events and outreach happening for my kids to attend.
