A team from Pacific Werribee delivered gifts packs to childcare centre employees across Wyndham earlier this month, to thank the workers for their efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The team put together the gift packs filled with items such as coffee, tea, sweets, and hand creams for childcare workers, and books for children, and delivered them on April 16.

The packs were delivered to Nido Early School, Little Learners and Wallaby Childcare Harpley in Werribee; Kool Kidz in Tarneit West; Wyndarra Children’s Centre and Back to Basics in Hoppers Crossing; and Goodstart Early Learning Centres at Hoppers Crossing and Werribee.

Pacific Werribee centre manager Patricia Gardiner said supporting the local community during times of need was a priority for the centre.

“We have great respect for childcare workers and educators who are helping to support our community by continuing to look after and teach children during the current medical crisis,” Ms Gardiner said.

Nido Early Learning service manager Amy Busuttil expressed gratitude for the gift packs.

“The educators at our centre have been caring for the children with such professionalism and love,” she said.

Werribee Little Learners Centre owners and operators, David and Amy Machell, described the delivery of the gift packs as “a lovely gesture”.

“Our educators are working tirelessly to care for the children, putting themselves last at the moment, with all the stresses of life happening around them,” they said.
