We loved our time at TLS Footscray! My daughter attended from baby room to kinder and thrived during her time there. Staff turnover seemed very low, with not much change in staff over the years that we were there. Everyone was very kind, warm and professional and we got regular updates on the app. It was an absolute delight being part of the TLS community - highly recommend ❤️

Dear Yvonne, Thank you for your heartfelt 5-star review! It’s great to hear that your daughter had such a positive experience with us. Our team puts their heart into making the centre feel like a second home, so it’s rewarding to hear that the consistency and those app updates helped you feel like a true part of the community and gave you peace of mind. Thank you for being a part of our early learning community and for sharing your positive experience with us. Best regards, The Learning Sanctuary Team
