It has been almost a month since I enrolled my son at this daycare, and we have had a wonderful experience. The centre is very tidy, well organised, and professionally managed. The leadership under Ms Ritu is exceptional. Miss Mansi, Miss Evon, and Miss Tejal are all very kind, supportive, and attentive to the children. My son really enjoys his time here and settled in very quickly. We are very happy with the care and support provided.

Hands down one of the best experiences I’ve gone through as a first time mum. They are so warm and welcoming. It deserves more than 5star. The staff are so amazing and really take the time to get to know your family! I even drive 28km to make sure my little girl Gets to experience this wonderful place. Hands down 10/10 ❤️

About Marsden Early Learning College

A blend of academic excellence in a full-service long daycare setting has created Marsden Early Learning College that focuses on the social, emotional and physical development of its children -- from the infant stage right up until they go to school. This is an innovative centre offering an exciting new model of long day care and education for children from 0 to 5 years old. A team of degree-qualified teachers and skilled educators partner with families to provide tailored and holistic learning opportunities that help children prepare for school, and thrive.

Alongside the academic curriculum, this progressive centre offers a huge range of extra-curricular programmes including:

  • The Five Senses Course: environment, health/safety, social skills, arts, cooking
  • Engineering
  • Computers
  • Drama & Acting: poetry, singing, dance, drama, puppetry
  • Music with a professional music teacher
  • Sports: soccer, basketball, athletics

The state-of-the-art building features five classrooms equipped with soundproof walls and interactive smartboards. The interiors are light and colourful, and children love the junior cafe, with healthy & delicious meals. Educators deliver a stimulating and focused program that equips children with vital cognitive, social and emotional skills.

Outside, children are provided with an Outdoor Adventureland, where they can hone their motor and physical skills in a beautiful outdoor area.

Here at Marsden Early Learning College, we promote school readiness by implementing balanced, intentional and child-initiated learning experiences and developing an active relationship with our local primary schools. These programs are built on positive relationships between families, children, educators and the community.
