I've used this childcare centre for all of my 3 kids and can only recommend their service. The facility is clean and well set out. The communication is good. Most importantly however the staff are friendly and professional and go above and beyond for the children in their care.

A Truly Exceptional Centre — Caring, Professional, and Committed to Every Child Our family has been part of this centre community for more than three years, and our experience has been nothing short of outstanding. The educators are consistently thoughtful, accommodating, and friendly — not only with parents, but with every child who walks through the door. The genuine care they show is visible in the way they teach, nurture, comfort, read to, feed, and love the children. My daughter has absolutely thrived here! One thing that has always stood out to me is the professionalism and communication of the team. Whether it’s daily routines, programming, health updates, or upcoming events, we have always been given clear information well in advance. Even when unexpected operational or regulatory constraints arise — as they do in any centre — I’ve found staff to be transparent, organised, and respectful in how they handle adjustments. On what was a proud day for us, our daughter recently graduated along with nearly 60 other children — which in itself is a testament to how well-regarded and trusted this centre is. Because of the unusually large cohort and the need to comply with safety and space regulations, the centre communicated multiple times that attendance would need to be limited to two family members. This was emailed and also mentioned to us verbally well in advance so that we had enough time to plan for the evening. It was an extremely hot day, and the indoor space — even with the air-conditioning working hard — understandably reached capacity with children, educators, and more than 120 adults in attendance. The outdoor play areas, while wonderful for their intended purpose (play equipment, sandpits, cubbies, and uneven surfaces), simply wouldn’t have safely accommodated a formal event in those conditions. From what I saw, the poor staff were doing their absolute best under these challenging circumstances to prioritise the children’s safety and comfort, and to ensure that everyone could still enjoy the ceremony. Managing crowd limits in a hot, busy room is no easy task, yet the team remained patient, calm, and respectful throughout. And they pulled off an AWESOME evening!! Despite the challenges, the graduation evening was a great success!! The children sang and performed, proudly wore their adorable graduation gowns, and each one received their certificate with an official handshake from the centre management. It was incredibly cute to watch, and remarkable how warmly every child responded to the staff. Afterwards, we all (families, staff, and kids), enjoyed snacks and cakes together outside - thankfully it had cooled a bit by then! Parents were applauding, chatting, and smiling, kids were running and playing— it was a genuinely beautiful way to send off our children to school, and for my daughter it was a truly significant and memorable moment. In all my interactions with the centre — from daily drop-off conversations to parent evenings to this final graduation — I have always felt heard and respected, confident in the team’s decision-making, and grateful for the loving, stable environment they create. It speaks volumes that several families I know, including my own sister and brother-in-law, travel well outside their local area just to bring their child here. That’s how trusted this centre is. We have absolutely no regrets choosing this centre for our daughter. Her early years have been enriched by a team who poured time, skill, and genuine affection into her growth. She leaves confident, happy, and ready for school — and we credit so much of that to the wonderful people here. I highly recommend this centre to any family looking for a place where children are truly known, cared for, and celebrated. To Natalie and the amazing team - Thank You - sincerely... Your untiring efforts to create a such a welcoming, safe and warm place for our most precious children, and your input into shaping our daughter's early foundational years is so very greatly cherished. Thank you.

My son is always so happy thanks to the genuine care from Natalie and the team. The recent graduation was beautifully organised and such a special celebration. We’re so grateful!

Before our son began at this preschool, he was quite behind for his age. He couldn’t count confidently, write his name, or even draw a clear picture. Within just one year, he has absolutely flourished! His confidence has grown, he can write his name, count, draw beautifully, and is more than ready for big school thanks to the incredible guidance and support he’s received. The teachers put in genuine effort with every child and truly care about preparing them for the next stage. Despite having limited space in some areas, they make the absolute most of it and always create fun, engaging learning environments. Their events, activities and special days are always so thoughtfully organised and full of excitement for the kids and families. We are so grateful for what this preschool has done for our son. They have supported him, encouraged him, and helped shape him into a confident little learner ready for school life. I highly recommend this preschool to any family considering it!

I cannot thank Community Kids Pakenham enough for the incredible love, care, and support they show—not only to our little girl but to us as a family as well. In just six months of attending, we’ve been truly overwhelmed by the kindness and dedication of the educators who nurture her every single day. As parents, we’ve felt deeply supported, especially during challenging times, and that sense of community means the world to us. The centre itself is wonderful, but it’s the educators and directors who make it exceptional. A special shoutout to Linda, Acting Centre Manager, and to my daughter’s amazing primary carers—Rachel, Simone, Grace, Kaneisha, and Leah. Your care, patience, and warmth have made such a difference in our lives. We are endlessly grateful for each of you. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

My daughter comes to this centre and she is always welcomed with a warm greeting management and staff! She loves coming here and every time we leave, she is always making her rounds to her educators, giving cuddles and saying goodbye. I wouldn’t put her anywhere else just knowing she is well looked after! Every staff member play a part in her life here and we couldn’t be more grateful!
