About Shine Early Learning Centre

Shine Early Learning Centre was founded by Amanda Botfield in 2008. The centre operated for 10 years until it unfortunately had to close down in 2018 due to not being able to meet the landlords rent demands in negotiations of a new lease. During its time, Shine achieved an Exceeding Rating in every Quality Area of the NQF, and won many awards for the children's artworks which now hang in Gosford Hospital. It was renowned for producing quality educators and being one of the first centres to introduce a 'Nature Preschool' by regular visits to the beach with the children. The centre was one of only a few small centres left, having the capacity for only 28 children per day. Shine became the centre of choice for agencies working with children from difficult backgrounds, including those who had been removed from their families due to neglect and abuse. Shine also sponsored many children with disabilities to attend social functions through the Lions Club and Rotary.

Totally agree, the best centre ever.

Being a teacher I am extremely aware of what constitutes a high quality centre, but this also made it very difficult to choose a centre for my daughter as I found none of the centres I looked at met my standards. Until I stepped into Shine.

I have to say Shine is the best place for children to be. Of all the centres we looked at in Terrigal, Erina and Wamberal, Shine really stood out as being the highest quality centre, with the best educational program and staff who do care. Since going to Shine, my daughter has blossomed. She previously went to a large centre because she was young and it was the only place that had room for her. However she always seemed to be lost in the crowd, and frequently the staff couldn't even tell me what she had done during the day. But at Shine she has very quickly developed her self confidence and has made some special friends, and asks every morning 'Is it a shiny day today?', it breaks her heart when it isn't her day to go. I am upset with myself for not making the move sooner.

The staff are wonderful. They are happy to answer any questions, and I ask a great deal of questions! From the time you first step into Shine you feel as though you have found people who will treat your child just like you do. Again I agree with the other reviewer, the best centre ever.
