We sent our little one to Monash Vale since she was 10 month old and she has spent her most important 3 years over there now. It has been our most wise decision ever! We really appreciate all yours and your educators love and caring for the little one and we know how much she loves and grows from there. We will always appreciate on those days when Amsa and Alice from baby room gave her so much patience to settle her down, Joanna and Cici helped a lot to transfer her from baby room to toddler room, Echo, Yuka and Rushidi supports and helps her to grow.
Highly recommended!

Here’s an example of positive feedback for a childcare center:

I am incredibly impressed with the care and attention my child receives at this center. The staff are warm, nurturing, and genuinely invested in the children's well-being. The activities are thoughtfully planned, promoting creativity, learning, and social development in a fun and engaging way. The environment is clean, safe, and welcoming, which gives me great peace of mind. I’ve noticed significant growth in my child’s confidence and skills since joining, and I couldn’t be happier with the support and communication from the team. Thank you for creating such a wonderful space for our little ones!"

We’ve been sending our child to Monash Vale for the past 3 years, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the care and attention they’ve received. The staff is incredibly kind, professional, and genuinely dedicated to each child’s well-being. I love that they offer a mix of structured activities and free play, which keeps my child engaged while also fostering independence.

The center is always clean, organised, and well-maintained, which is important to me as a parent. It’s clear that the caregivers are not only trained but truly passionate about what they do. My child has made great progress socially and developmentally, and I feel confident knowing they're in such a safe and nurturing environment.

Communication is also top-notch! I get regular updates on my child’s day, and I feel fully informed about any milestones or concerns. The peace of mind that the centre provides is priceless, and I highly recommend them to any parent looking for a trusted and caring childcare option.

My older daughter attended Monash Vale from infancy until she started primary school, and my younger daughter is still with them. I’m confident they have always been in excellent hands. The teachers and educators in each classroom are experienced, responsible, loving, and caring, creating a supportive environment for each children and even parents. They organize many meaningful activities that children genuinely enjoy and that help them explore and understand the world. Their expertise in Year 4 courses effectively prepares children with a solid foundation for primary school. My daughters truly cherish their journey with Monash Vale—it’s undoubtedly an invaluable part of their memories.

If you want a community feel and an environment where your child (& you) will thrive, look no further than Monash Vale! I cannot recommend this centre more highly! A child focused centre where every educator knows each child, are friendly, nurturing, and fosters an environment where every child feels safe. All rooms support and encourage the children to spark curiosity, question ideas, and develop and extend knowledge and skills through child lead learning. The specialist classes (Art, Science, Sport, and Mandarin - to name a few) then complement the topics of interest, where possible.

The team at MVELC also support parents by facilitating connection between families and also through parent social and education sessions on topics chosen by the parents.

If you want a centre that is forward thinking, diverse and engaged, look no further. I’ve had 2 children attend, who both love every minute, as have their parents!

One of the best and most beautiful child care centers in Melbourne. My son joined them for a year and a half. It was the most beautiful days. Frankly, we will not forget his distinguished teachers, Shanika and Michelle, and Mr. Nick in the administration are wonderful and very careful.

This childcare center is fantastic. My two kids attended here, and when they moved to primary school, they quickly picked up new skills because they had learned the sounds of letters during their time at the center. I am very appreciative.

Nothing more comforting when you know that your child is in good hands at Monashvale! Warm environment, always going the extra mile in regards to their planning (for both children and parents), and oh, the food always smells good too (validated by my daughter who takes seconds quite frequently 😉).

As a first-time parent, our initial thoughts about childcare were new, big, fancy facilities, modern apps for child updates & all the she bangs, but oh, we were so wrong. My daughter didn't adapt well at the very first CC that we sent her, not even after 6 months. I was concerned and sad because she was so unhappy crying during dropoff and pickup (most pic with teary eyes). It affected her appetite, and her naps were broken. I didn't get a sense of confidence as well from the centre that things will be better.

So much changed after we decided to move her to MonashVale. Within a week, my daughter adapted so well that she's happy and looks forward to going to CC (so much so that I needed to persuade her to leave 😅).
The experienced group of educators in MonashVale played a massive role. Their experience helped as they knew exactly what to do, and I learnt so much from them in return about my child. It was all about connection and passion. Kids can feel warmth and welcome. My daughter till today (after nearly 1.5yrs) still eats well, plays well, learns well, sleeps well, and has so much fun in CC. Her favourite days, which she calls them, "Coach Angela Day" (sports) and "Teacher Benson Day" (music). All of these are important and give comfort, especially for full-time working parents such as myself.

Although MonashVale's building is not brand new and facilities in general are not comparable to those of mega new CC centres, one thing for sure that's priceless is the team of passion filled & very experienced educators whom I know showers my child with love, care and support which is very important for early years of development. Preparations and the programs MonashVale runs trumps it all.

Keep up the great work team MonashVale 👏

MVELC is a place where my children felt like home, and they wanted to come even in weekends, and where I felt reckless all day long. The educators are experienced, professional, and warm, and the children there are very lovely. If I could find an accommodation there, I would not hesitate to take my children to there again. Thanks a lot for your thorough care and warm welcome to us.

My son started attending Monash Vale almost 2 years ago, after a pretty big research trying to find the right place that would give me peace of mind of leaving my little treasure in there. For this reason I feel in the must to tell my experience so it can help other people like me, to make the best decision.
Back in time when he just started at Monash Vale we suspected something wasn’t quite right with him. Only a month ago he has been diagnosed with ASD and even though this is not a Specialist School for kids with special needs I have to say that they are absolutely remarkable. They are gorgeous people and they have done everything to help my son out, caring of every single detail to assist him and cover all his special needs. I feel so extremely lucky and happy to have found this place. There is not a better one in this planet that would have fitted us better. All educators (wonderful girls), family owners and beautiful Shanika, all of them have treated us and specially our son with so much dignity, kindness, care, love…they have treated us like a real family and we really feel like home. This is the most reliable and family atmosphere that you could ever find out there, feeling safe and comfortable to leave your beautiful
Children and I say it with property. So safe that in this almost 2 years my son has never suffered any accident, injuries, sunburn, nappy rash. Not a single time.
Honestly there are not words to thank enough, I’m forever grateful of you all Monash Vale Team and what you have done for us so far, and I’ll cherish it in my heart to the end of my days. Thanks for loving and caring of our child so beautifully, for holding our hands in this very challenging time for us (and for you too) and bigger thanks for still holding our hands after that and even stronger instead of letting us fall when we needed you the most. 💙

My elder daughter recently started school after staying at Monash vale for 4 years. The best thing about this place is I haven't seen any educators resigning during that period. My younger daughter just started with them and she is being cared by the same educators who looked after my elder one which is very comforting for me as a working mum. I know they are in good hands. I could have sent my younger one to another facility which is closer to us but the confidence and reliability I have on them is more important than the distance. They are regularly engaging children with various activities and both my daughters love going there. I would highly recommend this place and I would give more stars if I can.

After navigating 4 different childcare centres with my 2 kids, we finally landed on monashvale for my anxious 3yo who was regressing. It was the best decision, the staff are incredible and they are all highly educated in early learning with a focus on well-being and learning. My daughter has gained so many new skills and more importantly her confidence has grown and her anxiety has melted away. I can't speak highly enough for the amazing staff and the learning program. Simply incredible!
