Carolyn has been like family to me since day dot. I had my son enrolled to start before he was even born, as I work at the local Community Kindy close by; and several of my preschool kids had attended Carolyn’s Family Day Care too. I’d only heard wonderful things and I now know why. I was an anxious first time Mum and Carolyn kept my mind at ease the entire time we attended. Carolyn is professional, friendly, nurturing, honest, experienced, generous, kind and warm and I thank my lucky stars I came across her. My son loved attending there and my only regret is we couldn’t stay longer due to location and change of family circumstances. Being in the industry, I’m aware the number one factor amongst most else is the relationship that the carers have with the children and I know my boy will remember Carolyn forever.

Carolyn is a loving, caring, patient and a fun educator and this is a reflection of how much our son loves her. Carolyn has a wonderful set up with a large variety of toys and different weekly experiences for the children in her care to engage in. Carolyn is structured & organised and extremely confident in taking care of a range of age groups all at the same time (this is serious talent) She is knowledgeable in her childcare field, and a great support to new mothers leaving their babies for the first time. To say I am grateful to have crossed paths with Carolyn is an understatement and if I could give 10 stars I would. We Highly recommend 🫶🏼

Carolyn is a lovely, caring educator who welcomed my son into her home. She provides a clean, personalised and engaging service, with a large variety of resources for the children. My son has enjoyed excursions to the local street library, playground, and on the bus to Dee Why library. Although he has moved on to preschool this year, he has loved his days in Carolyn's care and will miss her immensely. I highly recommend this service.

Our daughter has been with Carolyn for 4 years and has always loved her time there. Carolyn is a kind and empathetic person who provides a safe, secure and engaging environment for the children. Carolyn has always adapted to our daughter’s age and stage by providing a variety of experiences to foster her growth and learning. Our daughter has also loved visiting the park, the street library and the library. Carolyn provides exceptional and individualised care for all of the children in her care 😊

My son loved every day that he spent at Carolyn's home during his two years of care. Carolyn and her home are warm, inviting and fun - the perfect home-away-from-home for little ones before they start preschool. It was obvious from Finn's very first day of care that Carolyn's is a place for kids to really be themselves. Finn thrived under Carolyn's easy-going approach to teaching, and absolutely loved all the exciting outings that she planned. I take my hat off to Carolyn for successfully taking 4 kids to Taronga Zoo many times - they always had a ball! Finn is at preschool and moving onto Kindy soon but still asks about Carolyn's, wanting to know when he can go back again.

My daughter was cared for by Carolyn for 18 months. We found Carolyn to be very engaging, well organised and caring. Carolyn fostered an environment where the children felt very comfortable with each other and felt confident to explore new skills. We always knew Mariana was learning and having fun, not just being 'babysat'. The space is clean and safe and Carolyn always rotates the books and toys out for use each week so that the children have something new to explore and share. My daughter still waves to Carolyn's house every time we walk past and reminisces happily about interactions and friendships.

Carolyn is just beautiful with the children in her care, Ollie talked about her like a treasured family member and I was always confident that he was being loved, cared for and stimulated within a home like environment whenever he was with her. I would not hesitate to recommend Carolyn to friends and family, I’ve never come across a service quite like it. It felt like dropping him off with a loving aunt. We are sad to be moving on to preschool and will miss Carolyn dearly.

I cannot talk more highly of Carolyn's Family Day Care and of Carolyn herself. Her facility is clean, appropriate and professional, and Carolyn is very personable and just fantastic with the kids... she was born to run a Day Care Facility! She changes around the books, toys and activities each week, and always puts a lot of thought into weekly/monthly activity themes. The kids are never bored at her facility, and they get to try out a range of activities which help them learn, like group games, puzzles, problem solving, gardening, fun outings (even to the zoo), cooking and caring for wildlife (chicks, tadpoles, caterpillars etc). I sent both of my children to Carolyn's Day Care Centre and they both loved their time there so much- not to mention Carolyn, who they still see now and consider to be more of an Aunty figure. If you are looking for a friendly & professional Day Care Facility for your child, you will not be disappointed with Carolyn's Centre. If you are looking for someone that gives that extra bit of love and care, and goes above and beyond their role... Carolyn is the carer for you!!!
