What our community has to say about us
Committee:
The ECMS model has proven to be the best alternative for Interlaken Kindergarten out of nine different models. ECMS has delivered a realistic and workable budget to the kinder ... ECMS is best placed to be the 'silent manager' of Interlaken allowing the kinder to operate to its own individual style and uniqueness. Interlaken Kindergarten
Staff:
ECMS is an extremely professional service that is highly regarded by staff, the families that attend their services and by local communities. ECMS strives to get the most out of staff so we can perform to the best of our abilities. They offer great professional development which keeps us up to date with key issues. I feel like an important, valued team member. Thanks ECMS. Lerderderg Preschool
I enjoy having the coordinators to talk to they are always there to rely on and get information across, they help us stay balanced.
St Albans North Kindergarten
I just wanted to say THANK YOU for giving me the opportunity to work at one of ECMS’ kindergartens. I really enjoy working for ECMS and I am very grateful for this opportunity. I feel very lucky to have the assistance of ECMS and I have met some fantastically supportive people, from the ladies in the op shop, to the families and neighbours in the street who drop in within this community. Having conferences and professional development to liaise, can swap information, ring each other and I really like the closeness and talking. Sydenham Community Kindergarten

Engaging program which always takes into account the interests of children. Warm environment where children are respected and gently encouraged and nurtured. East Ivanhoe Preschool
It is a wonderful kindergarten with a great community of parents and teachers. I am very happy with the program and my child loves it there. Interlaken Kindergarten
My child absolutely loves attending, and I think this can be attributed primarily to the staff, who provide a clear, structured program, delivered with warmth and care. Janet Mundy Kindergarten
In 2005 my daughter attended Keilor Village Preschool and I was extremely impressed with the high standard of care that was given in preparation for my daughter to start school. Following her great year I had no hesitation in enrolling our son into four year old kindergarten.
After my son had completed kindergarten he attended his prep school interview. The teacher passed on how impressed they were with the high level of understanding and signs of school readiness that the children were displaying at the interviews. The teacher mentioned that it was obvious that the kindergarten teachers had put a great deal of preparation and time into ensuring the children were ready for school.
I would personally like to thank ECMS for employing two wonderful teachers who are clearly dedicated to their roles and show an obvious care for each and every family.

I feel lucky that my child has very caring and wonderful teachers. They are really patient with them, even though they don’t speak fluent English, but my child’s understanding of English and social skills have definitely improved in just 1 and a half terms of kinder sessions.

My child is thriving and that’s especially on behalf of the teachers. My child has a wonderful time at kinder. Her confidence and social esteem has improved greatly. Keilor Downs Kindergarten
