St Catherine's Early Education Centre (Childcare)

Both of our children have attended St. Catherine's Early Education Centre. We have been so impressed with the level of personalised care provided by the staff. They are genuinely invested in the development of the children. Our eldest child experienced such a happy and secure foundation at St Catherine's, which set her up for a very confident and positive transition to Prep. Our youngest is still there, which means we get to enjoy being a part of this beautiful and supportive community for years to come!

Really disappointed at this centre. Our child keeps coming home sick. We saw staff who were not wearing masks even when it was required. Kids continue to come in sick without being sent home. There is also a lack of ventilation with doors closed. The little 1 percentres to keep us safe has not been up to scratch in my view. Very disappointing.

We are new in a country so my son didn’t know the language but educators made everything possible to adapt him and feel safe and happy from the very beginning of the journey! No words to express my gratitude to you! It will be so sad to leave you when the school starts. Educators Iris, Gabby - you know how to be friends for kids, it worth so much ❤️

We’ve had our two children at this centre for the last 2 years and love it. A real community feel, and fabulous educators that really care.

Amazing and passionate educators and staff. I have seen how much my son has developed in language, creativity, independence, social and motor skills. The centre has considerate space and a variety of facilities to accommodate activities both indoors and outdoors and upholds a high safety standard. As a newly migrant family, we appreciate the diversity and feel welcomed here. Thank you very much!

Our little person started in the nursery room at 7 months old and loves going to St Catherine's each day. The wonderful educators are nurturing and have created a space that is homely, fun and adaptable in these challenging times. Thank you to the team at St Catherine's for everything you do to support our family, it is very much appreciated.

My daughter has attended SCEEC for 3 years and we are extremely grateful for the kind, caring, and individualised care she has had throughout this time. The staff are friendly and genuine, the educators are excellent and have prepared my daughter for prep Ned year in every possible way. The centre routinely goes above and beyond for families and has clear and consistent communication, which is very helpful for busy working parents. The food & facilities are great and the centre jus received ‘exceeding standards’ rating in all domain which does not surprise me. We will be sad to leave next year!

Our elder daughter is attending St. Catherine's Early Education Center (4+ Kinder) for more than 9 months. The location is very convenient for us and immensely helpful with the recent settling in North Melbourne.The educators and team are very skillful, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. And she is loving the food there. Planning to send our younger one for 3+ Kinder next year.

Our son has attended St Catherine's from nursery to kinder. The educators are amazing, they always go above and beyond to provide a safe and fun environment with plenty of stimulation. The indoor and outdoor areas are great, with many activities available. I highly recommend their service and will be sad to say goodbye when our son confidently moves up to primary school.

Our two boys are attending St Catherine's for over a year now and we couldn't be happier. The environment is so homely and cosy that the boys feel like they are home. The educators are immensely invested in their learning and growth, and they always look at their individual needs and development. From the first day, I have been impressed by the friendly and caring staff at every level. As someone who has the family overseas and no support in Australia, I particularly love how they care about building a strong and safe community - it really makes a difference for us! I am so happy we found St Catherine's and that it became part of our little family :)
