Our daughter has been with the Discovery Bay team since she was 6 months old, she's nearly 3 now and we cannot imagine taking her anywhere else. The teachers are amazing and they have not once left me with any concerns, we will keep her there throughout her kinder years for sure.

This place has been so special for us and our daughter. The teachers have been incredibly supportive and caring, helping our little one settle in so well. Highly recommended

You know it’s a warm and supportive environment when you drop your child off and they forget about you straight away and run toward their educator's to give them a big hug. I’m often left hanging there for a kiss and one of those hugs goodbye. I leave feeling my child is happy and relaxed. Very clean Great meal planning Great communication Dedicated and educated staff Rachel is very quick to answer any questions.

We met Tennille, Marisa, and the team while attending one of their playgroups. From the very first day, we felt the warmth, care, and love they provide to both children and families. My son seemed so happy there, and we decided to enrol him. The team was incredibly supportive throughout our transition, making the process much easier for both of us. The food is amazing — my son absolutely loves it! The centre is very clean, and you can tell the team goes above and beyond to maintain such a welcoming and high-quality environment.

Amazing caring family environment with compassion and really particular about hiring the right staff

I've had the pleasure of getting to know Tenille and Marisa, and they are two of the most caring, passionate, and dedicated people you could hope to meet. Their commitment to creating a positive, nurturing environment for children is obvious in everything they do. It's clear they genuinely care about the families they support and go above and beyond to make a difference. Anyone looking for a child centre run by people with big hearts and a true passion for what they do would be in great hands. ❤️

We really appreciate the educators here. They’re always super caring and keep us updated with our little one’s progress. Everyone is friendly and goes out of their way to make your child and you feel that you belong at their centre

My daughter started at Discovery Bay when she was 2 (she’s now 4.5yrs old) when we moved to Ivanhoe from Northcote. One of the first observations I had was how clean, tidy and ordered the Centre was, and is. The entire time she’s been in attendance, she’s not missed a day due to illness. I think this is testament to how hygienic the centre is. The educators are fantastic! They were so supportive when we were toilet training, and during other times of change/challenge in my daughter’s life. They are great communicators. They are always warm, kind and supportive of her, and she feels cared for and loved at the Centre. I also love how some of the educators are from different backgrounds and heritages, and this diversity is shaping my daughter’s view of the world, which is wonderful. The recent new owners of the Centre have been great too - visible, hands on, across everything and accommodating. You can feel that the culture across the Centre has changed positively since their arrival. They invite parents to the Centre for info nights, and share and communicate with you as needed. You feel very connected to how the Centre is operating. The catered food is wonderful. We attended a tasting evening where we tried all the various dishes and they were nutritious and delicious. My daughter always talks about the food when she returns home. Can’t promote Discovery Bay enough. I think it’s a little gem of a place, and is educating my daughter about so many worldly topics before she goes to school. She will be so sad to leave.

If you're looking for a childcare or kinder that actually feels like a warm, joyful second home for your little ones, Discovery Bay is the real deal! From the moment you walk in, you can sense the love and care that Marisa and Tenille have poured into this place. These two incredible owners have created an environment where children don't just attend kinder — they truly thrive. Their dedication to constantly improving the quality of education shines through in the thoughtful programs, creative activities, and the exciting adventures the kids have every day. What truly sets Discovery Bay apart is their serious commitment to safety and health. You can see it in the spotless facilities, the careful routines, and how attentive the team is to every child’s needs. As a parent, that peace of mind is priceless. My kids light up every morning when we head to Discovery Bay. They talk about their friends, show me their new creations, and tell stories about what they learned that day. It’s not just a kinder — it’s become their happy place, their second home. We’re so grateful to have found them! ❤️
