Learn & Play - Box Hill, New South Wales

I remember reaching out to Sangeeta when my little one turned 1.5 year but unfortunately she didn’t have a slot then hence we decided get her enrolled in one of the big and reputed (so called) preschool at Annangrove road when she was a little over 2 years. But a mere 3 weeks our child spent at the preschool was the most horrifying and heart breaking experience and we pulled her out after filing a formal complaint.

And then out of nowhere like a blessing we get a call from Sangeeta that a slot is open at her Family daycare. Though I was still shaken from our experience elsewhere I confirmed that I would be interested but had some hundreds of questions for her which she patiently answered.

Understanding our trauma Sangeeta spent considerable amount of her personal time talking to me about her methods, and explained to me in detail how she would care for her when she is upset & various activities to improve their vocabulary, their creative thinking, focus on good habits, sharing and caring.

My little one spends about 7 hours of her precious day bonding with not just other 3 kids in the room but being genuinely fond of her Miss Sangee 🙂

Sangeeta goes out of her way to keep us updated on how my child is and ensures to teach her to be independent eater but at the sametime understand she is still too small to be totally independent and ensure my child is fed to her comfort. This is was my primary requirement as a parent and we as a family feel very blessed to have Sangeeta in our everyday lives with her generosity, genuineness and loving/caring attitude.

My little one continues to learn good manners and very interested in story time, patiently sits with her book & pencil trying to imitate what she has learnt in the daycare.

I would highly recommend Sangeeta as she brings in her previous experience of being Head of department in School in addition to being a wholesome Human being. I wish every school/daycare had educators like Sangeeta who are so passionate about their work/responsibility.

Miss Sangeeta (or Miss Sangee as my son likes to call her) has been just a blessing for us.
My son started at another childcare center (bigger center) when he turned one year ago but would not settle down- not eat anything, kept crying and would just be upset throughout the day.
That's when we started looking out and found about this family day care. We got in touch with Sangeeta, who was very promising in the first call itself. She invited us to visit her center and we were very impressed. There's a huge area for the kids to play and do multiple activities. She has so many toys that keep the kids busy throughout the day. There are train tables and car tables overlooking the window.
Mrs. Sangeeta is a very well experienced educator and so warm that we were convinced in the first meeting to enroll my son. He has been attending the center for about 4 months now and ever since then we haven't looked back. She sends updates/ photos regularly so we are not left wondering what the child may be doing.
My picky eater son eats easily when Miss Sangee feeds him. Many a times, She feeds him fruits of his choice (that I may not have sent but she would bring).
She has an open area at the back where the kids go for outdoor activities everyday. There's also outdoor toys, balance stones, swings, sandpit and cars for the kids to enjoy while they're there.
The kids do a different activity every day for example coloring inside different shapes. My son has learnt about shapes, colors, animals and etiquette (like saying bless you after someone sneezes).
They also read stories, dance and sing songs and rhymes everyday. My otherwise fussy bubba sleeps on his own at her center.
I am very satisfied with the way my son is being looked after. He has also become friends with Miss Sangeeta's family and over the weekend also would keep mentioning about her. Sangeeta and her family were very affectionate when my son had an injury. She was very dedicated in looking after him as he needed to be watched so he would not move. She made alot of efforts to get him settled quickly at the center and now we can't imagine how it was like without her.
She goes out of her way to teach kids. The kids recently did activities to decorate the Christmas tree that Miss Sangeeta brought and they celebrated Christmas together. The children also got gifts from the educator.
We are very satisfied with our Child's care and his learning at the center and would recommend the center a 100 times over.
Cannot thank Miss Sangeeta enough for every thing she does to my son feel comfortable and allow him to be himself.

The family day care run by Sangeeta is excellent. My son used to go there when she was in Ponds, NSW. Under her care my son felt happy and loved. He engaged in different activities every day and showed great improvement in eating skills. Right now the centre is operating from Box Hill, NSW. I wish it was nearer to my house and I could have continued sending my son to her. We really miss you Sangeeta. All the best 😇

Mrs. Sangeeta have been a blessing for us. She is looking after my boy when he was 10months old and he is 2.5 years old now. He has learnt a lot from Mrs. Sangeeta. Her family day care is no less than a childcare. She has everything from feeding to learning and a nice play area for young kids. I am very happy with her day care.
The most satisfying thing for me is when my child goes with a big smile at morning drop offs; it takes away all my stress. He likes going to the day care and comes back with big smiles everyday and lots of learning.
Thank you so much for being a great educator.

Sangeeta ji is very energetic and loves children. She is very caring and takes care of every child's individual need. Our child moved to her from child care, my kid was sick every second week in childcare. Since joining her day care, he doesn't get sick very often, gets individual attention, learns manners, I know he is well fed, my 17-8 month kid started started taking animal names. He enjoys going to her family day care than being at home, as we would be doing jobs and be tired in the evening after work. He loves it there. It is all because of sangeeta jis past education and experience of a head of department as a computer teacher. Plus she is a highly awarded educator. They keep getting training.
IMO her fdc is 10 times better than childcare. There are good educators in childcare as well, but that is a business.

I know if my child is crying she will not let him lie on the floor and let him cry. She will give some consoling, which is humane!

She is an amazing educator with experience and knowledge. Highly recommended for her individual approach to child needs and development plans.
Always provide a very playful and stimulating environment and activities to suit the age groups.
