Absolutely incredible management and team. If you’re looking for a centre where your child feels at home and constantly supported and loved by dedicated staff then this is your centre. Have had my son just graduate kindergarten after being at this centre for many years and now my daughter is going on her third year at PICO. We drive past many centres to get to this one however I would never change. As a full time working mother it’s hard to put your children in care full time however I never feel uneasy taking them to PICO. It’s has become there home away from home. An example of how homely this centre is, my son refers to a staff member as “Nanny Annie”. Couldn’t recommend PICO enough.

I cannot express enough gratitude to the amazing team at Pico Early Learning Centre for the incredible care and support they have provided to my girls. Moving to a new environment is always a challenge, especially for little ones, but the team at Pico made the transition so smooth and welcoming that my girls settled in almost instantly. From the very first day, the warmth, professionalism, and genuine care shown by the staff reassured me that my daughters were in the best hands. They created a nurturing and engaging atmosphere that made my girls feel safe, valued, and excited to attend every day. The educators go above and beyond to create fun and enriching activities that not only engage the children but also foster their growth and development. I have seen my daughters blossom in confidence and happiness, and I credit this to the wonderful team who truly treat each child as their own. So much so that I am moving suburbs and chose to continue at their new centre—this is how much I trust these incredible ladies and Hayley’s and Kylie’s leadership! Their work ethic is beyond par, and I can’t imagine entrusting my daughters’ care and development to anyone else. Pico Early Learning Centre is more than just a childcare facility; it’s a second home for my girls, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have been part of their community. Thank you for all that you do—your dedication and passion make such a positive difference in the lives of so many families!
