Saltwater Child Care Centre (enrolment through Maribyrnong Council)

I can’t speak highly enough of Saltwater and their incredible staff—many of whom have been there for 10 to 20 years. Saltwater is so much more than a childcare center; they’re like family when we’re at work. The level of care, empathy, and fun they provide is truly second to none. Both my son and daughter have had the most wonderful experience at Saltwater. I’m genuinely heartbroken that my daughter will be leaving for prep soon. Their kinder programs are unmatched in the west. The meticulous planning that goes into everything—not just from an educational perspective, but with the child’s well-being at the center—means the world to me. While other centers might claim to teach about the environment or Welcome to Country, at Saltwater, these are genuinely embedded into daily life. If you’re on the fence, I highly recommend speaking with Nancy and spending some time in the rooms—you’ll see the difference for yourself.
