My child has become happier, even sings pack-up song at home. He learned it at the creche.
I can see a difference in my daughter: she cannot wait to get to the creche, she smiles a lot more now.
My children love to play with the toys. With five small children, I cannot afford toys at home.
When I needed assistance most, I found it at AMRC. I’m so grateful for the information and support…
With two autistic children, I have my hands full. Thank you for mentoring me through parenting information. I did not know I was strong enough. I have now embarked on a career pathway.
I enjoy the outing to Belair Park; it reminds me of the forests in my homeland.
