## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — A great place for our child to learn and grow: We've been pleased with the inclusive and supportive environment at the Fordway Centre. The staff have been great with our child, who has been struggling in mainstream school. The centre's values of empathy and understanding really shine through in the way they care for each child. *(Jan 2023)*
- **5/5** — A home away from home: I've been really impressed with the Fordway Centre from the moment my child started. The staff are friendly and welcoming, and the facilities are top-notch. My child has thrived in their short stay school program, and I've seen a huge improvement in their confidence and behavior. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Some positives, but room for improvement: We had a mixed experience at the Fordway Centre. On the one hand, we appreciated the centre's emphasis on play therapy and its impact on our child's emotional well-being. However, we felt that communication with the staff could be better, and we sometimes struggled to get updates on our child's progress. *(Jun 2022)*
