Kind Words From Clients of Big Yellow Umbrella

We’re proud to support families, young people, and senior members of our community. Here’s what some of our clients have shared about their experiences with Big Yellow Umbrella.

Such a wonderful community program! My little one loved the Baby La La program and it was a great opportunity to meet other mums. Dani, the program leader brought great energy to the class and the content was always fantastic.

Big Yellow Umbrella Community Town Center is a true gem in our community. From the moment you walk through the doors, you are greeted with warmth and a sense of belonging. The vibrant atmosphere and friendly staff make every visit a delightful experience. The variety of programs and events offered at the town center is impressive. Whether you're interested in fitness (Thai chi), art workshops, kids workshop or community gatherings, there is something for everyone to enjoy. The center truly fosters a sense of community spirit and togetherness.

Baby La La is amazing! A fun, new theme every week, a new song sheet to take home and add to the repertoire, and most importantly excellent bonding time with bub. Music, movement and reading - my daughter and I loved it. Thank you Big Yellow Umbrella - we can’t wait for the next one!
