We’ve had such a great experience with this daycare. My son is 18 months and has settled in beautifully thanks to the caring, patient and enthusiastic educators. The communication is excellent, the activities are fun and engaging, and the environment feels safe, clean and welcoming. It’s clear the staff really love what they do. Couldn’t ask for more.

In everything we do, we embed a spirit of support, respect, and security to help children and ourselves be the best we can be.

We are committed to each child who passes through our doors.

We are committed to the families who we support, and
We are committed to the wider Moranbah community.

What the parents say

My 7 year old daughter had her first experience at MELC Vacation Care. She had such a wonderful time, and wanted to stay longer when I arrived to collect her.
Her day was full of activities, meals provided were plentiful and healthy. The staff were very attentive.

We cannot rave enough about MELC; they have been our village for the past 4 years and have always treated our son with respect, patience, warmth and kindness. We will be forever grateful for our time with MELC.
