Templestowe Childcare Centre | Journey Early Learning

We’re really happy with Journey Templestowe, we love that it’s small and the educators are fantastic. The children do so many amazing activities and we definitely feel that our child’s language and skills has developed considerably since attending Journey.

I had never used child care and was nervous about what to expect. The staff were so incredibly helpful and the transition to daycare was made so easy by their great communication and the first couple of transition days they planned. My child is really happy there and I'm really impressed with the centre as a whole. The staff genuinely care and are so lovely. Highly recommended.

Such a great centre and lovely team. My daughter who has now attended Journey Templestowe for the last 6 months after we moved from another centre has just flourished and loves going every morning to see her friends. No more tears at drop off and I know she is so well looked after and cared for.

My son has been going to this centre for over a year now and the care he receives here is beyond my expectations. Not only is he safe and happy, which was my main priority, he is valued. From the minute he walks in the door, he is greeted by Leonie who is the centre manager, who always has a minute to listen to D’s interest of the day. Usually a sore finger or whether the air conditioner is on or off.All the staff, including other rooms know him and he knows them. I trust all the staff and know they are looking after and looking out for my son while I’m not there. And on top of all the singing and reading and playing he gets there, he will come home having learnt a valuable life lesson, whether it’s to cover his mouth when coughing or that he eats his crusts on his sandwich now. A fete I have not managed at home.Highly recommend this wonderful centre, and the personal attention they provide each child.

My children love attending Journey Early Learning in Templestowe. The staff are very professional, attentive and caring and make a great effort to ensure every family and child feels welcome and included. It’s a smaller centre which was important to me so my girls could have more attention. I am constantly receiving updates on their daily activities and learning progress. While events slowed down due to COVID they’ve picked up again and the team at Journey organised a wonderful afternoon tea for Mother’s Day recently. The environment is clean and inviting and they have a great variety of food on the menu with very wholesome meals cooked fresh everyday. I cannot recommend Journey enough!

Being my first child I was very nervous about leaving him with strangers, it was the best decision I have ever made the Educaters are amazing beautiful ladies, my son loves them and he has advanced so much by being there. I would never take him anywhere else this is his 2nd home....thanks so much ladies for all you do you are greatly appreciated by us mums xxx

We have had 3 children attend the Centre over the last 8 years, with our youngest still attending. The educators and management at the Centre have been fabulous going above and beyond for our second child who is special needs with complex medical issues. The same educators who cared for our eldest child are still at the Centre and caring for our youngest. The educators' affection for the children is genuine. We highly recommend the centre.

My daughter has been with the centre for 1.5 years now. I've seen her learned so much, come out of her shell and become a much more confident girl now. The centre's update to parents are really frequent and thorough, weekly plans are set out in details, and weekly reflection gives parents great insight of how things are going at the centre. The educators invest a lot of time in writing stories and recording clips of videos of my daughter, her small achievements and sweet moments were all captured even when I am not there. I also received this letter from educator to my daughter, which is such a joyful read, and I'll definitely save it for her to read when she grow up. The staffs are all friendly and trying to help, so accommodating to parents' needs. And there was just one time, I got off a bit earlier than normal to pick her up, and saw through the window that one of the educators was cuddling with her in her arms, and my daughter laughed so happy. It's these small things give me confidence to send my daughter there.

My children love Journey Learning Templestowe! The staff are like family and educate and attend to my children’s needs. Even through COVID-19, they have been supportive and understanding about families struggling. Having a chat about life’s struggles is really comforting to have a person to talk to.Journey Early Learning is very structured for the children, but also allows the children to enjoy the freedom of being a child.My children love the nutritious food and keep asking me to cook food at home like Journey Early Learning Childcare /kindergarten.Based on my personal experience through my children, I would highly recommend Journey Early Learning Templestowe to anyone looking for a nourishing and educational childcare/kindergarten.

Coming to the Journey Early Learning Centre has always been a pleasure not just for my son but for me as well. It is home from home, the staff are excellent. My son has learnt so much from you, even the days he's not at the centre he wanted to be with you all.
