Every child deserves a path from first steps to first job

O nivo personnel, sa inn ed mwa parski, monn kapav al travay. Ek o nivo finansier, mo pa ti ena finans pou kapav pay enn gardri, isi mo pa ti bizin pay gardri.

Owen was at the crèche from one year old to three. He came on a great deal in speaking, walking, learning, discipline and courtesy, through the activities they did with him. For me it meant I could go out to work, and I had no means to pay for childcare; here I did not have to pay.

Linn rant la kresh laz 2 zan. Lor la distans, li ti enn fasilite parki li ti pre, donk pa pe bizin deplas bokou pou al kite et revinn pran mo zanfan. Osi monn gagn la posibilite al travay, kinn ed nou nivo finans a la mezon. Seki monn trouve, kouma mo zanfan ti ete avan ek pandan li ti la kresh, inn ena bokou developman. Li ti enn zanfan reserve, tre atase avek mwa, mem lezot mamb de la fami li pa ti fasil pou li reste, apre monn trouver linn vinn plis indepandan. O depar li ti inpe difisil, parski li pa ti abitie avek bann inkoni, me avek letan linn sange e zordi linn vinn inpe otonom, li plis ouver pou al avek lezot dimounn. Osi linn develop so parol, so mobilite, ekritir e so bann alphabet. Mo trouve la diferans kan mo get bann lezot zanfan mem laz ki li.

She started at two. The distance made it easy, it was close, so I did not have to travel far to leave her and fetch her. It also allowed me to work, which helped the household finances. The change in her was considerable. She was a reserved child, very attached to me, and she would not stay easily even with other members of the family; then I saw her become more independent. At the start it was difficult because she was not used to strangers, but with time she changed, and today she is more autonomous and more open with other people. Her speech, her mobility, her writing and her alphabet have all come on. I see the difference when I look at other children her age.

He started at two. At first it was hard for him to settle, but he adapted in time because the staff were welcoming and kind with him. He was potty-trained there, which was a big thing for me, because nappies were not easy on our finances. When Alvin turned three, Elion started. He used to come home with his eyes red and it hurt to see, but he settled quickly; now when we come for him, if he is in the middle of an activity he does not want to go home. Even at the weekend he fights for his bag to go to the crèche. I have only lived here two years and I have no family nearby who can look after my children, so this has been a great help. I am very satisfied with all the staff. My children have never come home in a dirty nappy or dirty clothes. There is nothing to reproach.

My son spent a year at the crèche, from two to three. Deewayne learned a great deal there, and thanks to that childcare he developed well. There is nothing to reproach on hygiene; he comes home clean and smelling fresh.
