Dear Meena,

Happy Educators Day!

I just want to take a moment to thank you for the incredible role you’ve played in Daryn’s life. From his very first days at daycare, when he was in your room, you created such a warm and safe space for him. He instantly connected with you, and I could always see how at ease he was in your care – which made those early drop-offs so much easier for both of us.

Even now, though he has moved on to the toddler’s room, Daryn’s face still lights up when he sees your car in the car park, and whenever you come down to visit, it’s clear how fondly he remembers you. That bond speaks volumes about the love, kindness, and comfort you’ve given him.

We’re so grateful for the time, patience, and heart you’ve poured into his journey. Thank you for being such a special part of his early years.

With gratitude,
Daryn’s mum & dad

“Meena-Meena”, my daughter absolutely adores you- You’re the highlight of her day! Thank you for the care, fun and comfort you’ve given our little girl. She absolutely thrived in the Babies room and it was so amazing to see her grow in that program- she learnt all sorts of new skills. Seeing her light up over the smallest of things and achievements is so beautiful. I always walk in for pick-up and she is being celebrated over something so simple as getting to go home.
It means so much knowing she feels happy and safe with you. Thank you for the love and joy you bring to her days.

We are ever so grateful for all the staff who have played this special and important part in her life. We will remind her of her daycare stories forever!

Meena, thank you for making learning so much fun. Families always talk about the wonderful bonds you’ve built with the children, and we see the joy it brings out in ours every day.
