MCC’s not-for-profit ethos guides everything, and it shows.<br><br>1, the staff ratio is outstanding. For example, the toddler room has a cap of 11 kids with 4 educators, ensuring deep connections. These educators truly know your child. Every day, they share thoughtful updates and take genuine responsibility.<br><br>2, The food is exceptional, even better than home! Fresh salmon, a variety of other proteins, seasoned fruit and salads, and tailored dietary requirement options like vegan, dairy free.<br><br>3, Excursions like Monash University visits enrich children’s learning. And there are so many meaningful, fun and organised excursions! Way more than other centers.<br><br>4, The educators are notably happier and more content compared to other centres, creating a positive atmosphere. Happy staff, happy children! Their open-door policy makes parents feel welcomed every day.<br><br>5. The outdoor play space is amazing! Spacious, well equipped and lots of nature.<br><br>In short, MCC’s strong staff-child ratio, remarkable food, rich excursions, spacious outdoor space, and caring educators make it second to none. We couldn’t be more delighted!

We have taken our child to MCC since she was 6 months old, she is now 1. I can’t thank MCC educators, staff and management for making our child feel as though MCC is an extension of her own home. We appreciate the effort taken to ensure all child’s needs are attempted to be met. I thank the facility for providing services to cater to children’s need’s and requirement's. The standard of communication it’s efficient and effective. As new parents we were nervous and hesitant on what our child’s experience would be like. But it didn’t take long before our child turned a corner and started to become smiley and giggly every time I pull up out the front. Thank you MCC for providing our child with such a positive experience. Leroy

My children attended MCC between 2019 and 2023 and we loved it. The environment is fantastic and my children always enjoyed attending. The educators are friendly and formed secure connections with the kids, which made drop offs easier. The food is cooked fresh daily and was always fantastic quality, with a menu that my kids would always eat. I cannot rate them highly enough and highly recommend the centre to new families!

Our kids absolutely love it here. The educators are great, providing a caring environment with guidance and calm. The grounds and rooms are clean and well maintained. The new furniture in the rooms is a great asset to the kids. The food from the onsite chef is fresh and healthy with good food rotation. We work at Monash so it was an easy choice to send the kids here.
