The team at this center are dedicated to caring for children. I've heard several stories about the amazing commitment of the center's staff and how efficient the management team is . The group is dedicated and very supportive . Their quality of care and interest in the well-being of the children is unmatched. The members often go above and beyond, even staying beyond their work hours to resolve any concerns or issues, ensuring every child feels safe, loved, and supported.
Response from the owner2 months agoThank you for your lovely feedback Lorraine, Danielle will be thrilled to hear such kind works. We agree that her passion for nurturing children and her unwavering commitment to their well-being is absolutely inspiring! It's clear that she not only takes pride in her role as Assistant Manager but also deeply values the sense of community and teamwork at the centre. Her selflessness, willingness to go above and beyond, and genuine care for the children and her colleagues set a wonderful example for others. Danielle’s contributions are undoubtedly a major asset to the centre, and it's heartwarming to know that the children in her care are surrounded by someone who so deeply loves and supports them. Thank you again for this wonderful feedback!

Thank you Mulgrave educators and management team(Jess and Dani) for always welcoming us with a smile and asking how my day was. Our experience in the 4-year-old kinder room has been nothing short of wonderful. Lavender and Cindy are consistently patient and dedicated, taking the time to communicate with us regularly about our son’s progress. The curriculum strikes a perfect balance between educational enrichment and creative exploration, which has greatly contributed to our son’s development and happiness. We couldn’t be happier with the nurturing environment you provide.
