  “We were part of the MELCC community from 2021 until recently, and it was honestly the best start we could’ve given our kids. Our eldest started at 6 months old, and our twins joined at 9 months – and all three absolutely loved it. The educators are amazing – warm, experienced, and with long tenure. Our kids always felt safe and cared for, and we felt totally supported as parents too - we 100% trusted the teachers. One of the things we loved most was how the centre let kids be kids – playing outside, getting messy, exploring and learning in a natural, hands-on way. They also actively participated in the local community with trips to the library, toy library, local playgrounds and shops - they even caught trams teaching valuable life skills. It’s also one of the few not-for-profit centres in the area, and it really shows – everything is thoughtful and truly focused on the children, not just ticking boxes. From the baby room, to toddlers to kindy the teachers genuinely love their jobs and the children. Their 3YO and 4YO kinder programs are excellent, with smaller class sizes that ensure each child gets the time and attention they need to thrive. We’ve now moved interstate, and our little boy is homesick for daycare – he misses his teachers and friends so much. Malvern ELC isn’t just a daycare or kindy – it’s a community. The educators have been integral in helping me raise kind, curious, and considerate little humans. We’re so grateful to have been part of such a special place.”

  “My daughter moved to MELCC after being at the big for profit centres. The love, routine, nurture and care each of the educators, admin and chef show her every minute is astounding. She has gone from being a shy child with other kids and adults to a new little person with confidence and empathy that shines through every moment of the day. The interactions we have had as a family is just amazing. It is like being at grandma's house - we know each day how loved she is.”

  “Malvern Early Learning is a fantastic centre. The educators passion and dedication create a warm and nurturing environment for every child. We much prefer this not for profit centre over a private chain centre my son was previously enrolled in.Many of the educators have been there for years which allows for children to develop a great connection with their carers. My son has flourished under the care here and we couldn't be happier entrusting our child to such a wonderful centre.”

  “Carmel and her amazing crew are the most impressive and loving folks you could ever leave your babies with. Our family loves the whole team especially Alex and Ange in the 3 year old room.”

  “My son has attended MELCC for years and we absolutely love it there! It is a fabulous, welcoming environment and my toddler learns so much. Also, the educators do an excellent job of communicating what happens each day including sleep, meals, activities and pictures.”
