From our very first tour, we knew Torrens ELC was somewhere special — and now we truly couldn’t imagine our son anywhere else. Watching how excited he is to arrive each morning tells us we made the best decision. We first visited in the early months of my pregnancy and completely fell in love with the centre. As first-time parents, we were understandably nervous when our son started at just 4.5 months old, but Amy, the Gumnuts room leader, was incredibly patient and supportive — not just with him, but with us too. That care and reassurance meant everything in those early days. Now at 21 months, he absolutely loves being there. He gives us a quick goodbye wave at drop-off and dives straight into activities with his little friends. Just yesterday I could barely get him to leave — and once we did, he tried to run back into the centre twice! That says more than we ever could. Director Chloe and Lysel have created such a warm, positive atmosphere, and we genuinely feel like part of the Torrens ELC family. A big shout-out as well to Susmita, his current room leader, who is just amazing. We feel so lucky to have found this centre. 💛

Wonderful educators, great centre, our boy has thrived here. Highly recommend.

The staff are so caring, attentive and accommodating with our two young kids. We’ve moved across town since starting here but will happily keep our kids here and make the drive because they love the centre and their educators.

My two and a half year old daughter loves to spend time here. she has learnt a lot in small time after she started at Torrens Early Learning Centre. Great care, good food for the kids, friendly staffs and many more.

Amazing centre. The carers and community are so supportive and helpful, kids always have a great time. We really trust the centre management. They communicate everything, are open and know all the kids names.

TELC is such an amazing child care centre, with dedicated (and long term!!) educators who form beatiful and supportive bonds with the little ones, and lead thoughtful and deliberate learning and activities for the children. Having changed centres to come to TELC, I was a little nervous at first, but Chloe and her amazing team of educators made my little one feel so welcome, forming a wonderful relationship with the lead educator in her room almost instantly! If you're looking for a place your child will be cared for, supported, enjoying deliberate and thoughtful education and activities - then book in for a tour of TELC. The staff are happy, the kids are happy and the christmas party, art shows and TELC birthday parties are next level. A beatiful centre, creating a beatiful community for our littles to be a part of! We're so lucky we found you Chloe and the TELC team!! 💕

My 2 year old has a great time here. The educators are so caring, they are able to comfort the kids during the difficult drop off period. When we pick my child up, they are always busy either dancing, doing a creative activity or playing outside. I particularly love how much Torrens prioritises outdoor activities!

My son attends this beautiful centre of learning. The educators are kind & seem to genuinely care about him. I appreciate their effort to pronounce his name correctly & cater to his needs.

My 2-year-old son loves going to Torrens ELC! He is always excited to arrive and happily says goodbye to me before joining the other kids, which shows how safe and comfortable he feels there. The educators are very kind, caring, and clearly love their work. Director Chloe and admin Lysel have created such a positive, welcoming atmosphere. Everything is clean and well-organised, with a great outdoor area for play. We are very happy with the service and highly recommend this daycare!

Highly recommended for parents seeking quality early childhood education in Canberra!
