Monash Vale Early Learning Centre has been an absolute pleasure to be with. Both my kids have been going there since they were 1 year of age. It feels just like home, filled with so much of love, care, happiness and joy from all the staff educators and the entire team. The kids loved and enjoyed their time there. Well taken care of by everyone. The Daycare is very well organised, safe and clean, beautiful and entertaining for all ages of kids, parents and families that go there. It is one of the best decision I've ever made sending my kids there. Highly recommend their centre for anyone who wishes for their kids to feel loved, well taken care of, just like Home.

My daughter had a wonderful time at Monash Vale. The learning programs are engaging and thoughtfully designed. She often came home excited to share the concepts and songs she learned at the centre. The staff are warm, caring, and consistently communicate with families about each child’s growth and progress. We couldn’t recommend Monash Vale more highly. We are truly grateful to have spent our early childhood years with such an exceptional centre.

As our eldest prepares to leave Monash Vale ELC for primary school, I find myself reflecting on what an incredible journey we’ve had here and feeling genuinely grateful that our younger daughter, who started in the nursery this year, gets to spend the next three years in this wonderful community. What sets Monash Vale apart is something you feel the moment you walk through the door: the children truly are at the centre of everything they do. This isn’t just a slogan, it’s evident in every interaction, every program, and every thoughtful decision the educators make. The stability and warmth of the teaching team speaks volumes. Many staff members have been here for years, and you can see why. It creates a genuine sense of community where our children are known, loved, and nurtured by familiar faces who feel like extended family. This continuity has been invaluable for our family. The quality and variety of programs throughout the week are outstanding – from sports and music to literacy initiatives – each thoughtfully designed to engage and inspire young minds. But what has particularly moved us is the centre’s leadership in incorporating Indigenous perspectives into early childhood education. Our daughter regularly comes home excited to share what she’s learned about the Boonurong people, their culture, and traditions. These conversations have enriched our entire family’s understanding and respect for First Nations peoples. We trust Monash Vale implicitly with the care and education of our children. That trust is earned through consistency, genuine care, and educational excellence. We couldn’t recommend this centre more highly.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
