Dundas ELC

I started sending my two children to this centre back in Oct 2024 as we moved to the area. I did notice the older reviews on here that weren't so pleasant but my thought is to always do a tour and make your own judgement call. At the tour, I observed the kids who attended were friendly (being confident to come say hi) and happy which is a good sign they're being taught well. Some centres seem corporate but at Dundas ELC it felt like they cared about nurturing social skills which I highly value. It's my opinion and experience these issues from previous reviews must have been due to previous management because since attending Dundas ELC, I can see how hard the centre manager (Kath) works at communicating with families and ensuring staff are trained and up to standards. If you want to feel like a part of a community then I think Dundas ELC is worth enquiring. The educators are friendly and lovely. Always happy to chat at pick-up about what happened with my kids (I have a preschooler and toddler) I also get notifications for all sorts of reasons like if my kids have been coughing all day and/or if they've hurt themselves; there is plenty of communication. Kath is always so quick to respond to any queries as well! Right now I do feel like my kids get some pretty good time with the educators and I definitely feel they care for my kids. It feels like they observe their growth closely But not just the children, they do so many lovely thoughtful things for the parents too like take-home breakfast for parents or packs for colouring in or writing worksheets to keep the kids entertained at home! In summary - my kids love Dundas ELC and I love it too.
