Thank you for your response to Sandeep and Pawan However, I do not agree with how this situation has been framed. Regardless of how the lollipop was accessed or who entered the staff area, the main concern remains unchanged — the way my 3-year-old child was treated. At such a young age, children need to be guided with care, patience, and understanding. Instead, the situation was handled in a way that caused him clear emotional distress, without any effort to comfort or support him afterwards. That is what I found most upsetting as a parent. It is also very disappointing that instead of taking responsibility, the response appears to justify and protect the staff member involved. There has been no apology from either the centre or the teacher, which is quite concerning. I also find it inappropriate that the situation is now being shifted towards my older child, rather than acknowledging how poorly it was handled by the staff. That is not acceptable. While I acknowledge that you followed up afterwards, it does not change the experience my child went through at that moment. Emotional wellbeing should always come first, especially in early childhood settings. I also want to reiterate that my concern about feeling unwelcome and experiencing bias has not been addressed in your response. I hope the centre genuinely reflects on this and ensures that all children are treated with empathy, respect, and kindness in the future.
Learning Links Rototuna has been absolutely wonderful for my child. The staff are very professional, caring, and truly dedicated to each child’s wellbeing and development. I feel confident and at ease knowing my child is in such safe and nurturing hands. The staff take great care of the children, show genuine kindness, and always communicate well with parents. The environment is clean, welcoming, and well-organised, which really reflects their high standards. I highly recommend Learning Links Rototuna to any parent looking for a centre that provides excellent care, support, and a positive learning experience for children.
I am so happy with the care my children have received here! The transition from their previous daycare was smooth, and the staff made the whole process so reassuring—I wasn’t sure how they would adjust, but they settled in really well. The teaching staff are wonderful, engaging, and attentive. I also appreciate how they update learning progress in a timely manner and provide daily feedback. It’s clear they genuinely care about each child’s growth and wellbeing. Highly recommend!
