Our child has been attending for nearly a year now (currently at nursery level) and we couldn't be happier. The staff are kind, caring and attentive - the facilities are clean and well-maintained. I feel confident leaving my little one in their care knowing they'll receive very warm care and attention in a nurturing environment.

Report

Our two kids have been attending Northside Harrison for several years and we are very happy with the service. We are confident they are in a safe and secure environment. Meals are healthy, and the kids always eat them (even when they're picky at home). The educators are patient and professional. We're frequently impressed with the skills and lessons the kids bring home. Highly recommended.

Report

My son has attended Harrison Day care for almost two years. The staff have been excellent in the care they provide and are sympathetic to children's individual needs. Where possible the children go on excursions to the library and other places which my son looks forward to every week. I receive a progress report each term letting me know how my child is developing. I also like the community spirit surrounding the centre with parents friendly to each other and saying hello even if they don't know you. I would recommend Harrison day care to anyone who wants quality care for their child.

Our son has improved and learned a lot since joining HECC. We love reading all their consistently updated learning activities. The educators have always been so nice, kind and genuinely cares for the development and wellbeing of the kids. The center is always clean and the food menu are really good too.
