Marino Early Learners Childcare Centre

The carers at Marino go above and beyond to ensure children are safe, happy and continuously encouraged. The small learning environment allows for personalised teaching and care. My daughter went here from the age of 1-5 and has loved it. I truly recommend Marino Childcare to parents in the community as it's diverse, has lovely and caring teachers as well as a homely environment and a beautiful garden for children to play in.

Marino Early learners truly cared about our children. We always felt happy to leave our children in their care, knowing they would feel safe and have a fun day. I love they allowed the kids to play like kids, get dirty and explore their environment . Their learning was individualised and often lead by their interests outdoors.Very accommodating staff and rich educational environment.10/10.

Our deaf twins struggled at a larger centre, so we made the move based on a recommendation. It was the best thing we ever did for them. The smaller size, better ratios and homey feel worked so well for our boys. The staff were understanding and keen to help and learn about the boys disability. The boys flourished and have come so far in a short amount of time. Can not recommend the centre enough!

We have had three children use this childcare centre, and could not speak more highly of the staff and the programs (including the kindy program which we believe gave our eldest a head start at school). Our kids have learned to sing songs in Mandarin, sign language, and also learned about the Kaurna language. They spend many hours playing outside in the huge yard, which is much bigger than other local centres. The centre also has less kids than other big chain centres - which means less germs - and has a lovely community feel. If I could give them more stars I would.

We couldn't be happier with Marino Early Learners. All of our kids have loved their time here, making strong relationships with the other children and carers, it's a lovely community feel. Carers are very flexible and our kids even come back for a visit in school and kindy holidays!Thank you Jie, Tracy and the team for helping support our kids, as they grow up and and thank you all for providing such a supportive and nurturing environment.

We absolutely loved MEL for our almost 3-year-old son. He has thrived at MEL and there has not been one day where he hasn't been excited to go to the center. English is not his first language but he settled in very well and has learned so much this past year. We are moving countries but if we could, we would take MEL with us! We could not have been happier with the care our son received!

We have loved Marino Early Learners. The staff are so caring and are genuinely happy to care for my child. The outdoor play area is one of the best I've ever seen, there is just so much space, my kiddo loves being about to freely explore and play amount the trees. They have been so flexible and considerate of our changing needs and for that I am just so thankful. I would absolutely recommend this childcare.

The most attentive, loving and nurturing childcare centre you could ever ask for.The staff come to work because they want to, because they love what they do, and this shows in the beautiful relationships they've built with the children. My boys are on the Autism spectrum and all staff specifically Jie, Ellen and Kate have nurtured and supported my boys throughout their diagnoses and growth.

Our little boy attended Marino Early learners from age 3 to 5. He absolutely thrived in the centre, despite all of the challenges brought about by COVID. Some particular strengths of the centre are the passion of the staff and their tireless efforts to foster security, creativity, friendship and warmth amongst the children and broader community. The frequency of communication is excellent: Quality not quantity. Caregivers receive regular, personalised communication, with all key information delivered concisely, such that you arent overwhelmed with info! Marino EL is embedded in the community, introducing the children to the community garden and regularly interfacing with community service providers who have something to educate the children on. Thank you for providing a wonderful platform for our son to enter his schooling with confidence and openmindedness.

Our now 3 year old son has attended MEL for 1.5 years and loves it. He has thrived in the lovely outdoor area and enjoys playing with children from all of the rooms (differing ages). The Centre offers a caring community of fantastic educators with an emphasis on quality, nature and play based learning and building lasting relationships. As parents, we also appreciate the level of communication, diversity, and homely environment for children to play and learn in. We feel lucky to have found MEL and highly recommend the Centre.
