Community Kids Mornington Early Education Centre

My son goes to Community Kids in Mornington, he loves it. The staff always greet my son by name and are so friendly and welcoming to us all. My son is always engaged in activities when I come to collect him and chatters away on his trip home about his adventures he has had which can be science experiments with Gina or going on the bus for Bush Kinder with Anne. Extremely happy with our choice of Early Education Centre.

My grandson attends this centre. I love seeing photos of him and information of his day on the Xplor App. The staff are all so lovely. I like how they all interact with myself and my grandson when coming and leaving. :)

Absolutely amazing center with the best educators!Greatest center manager and everyone communicates so s well.They are all like extended family ❤️

My daughter in currently enrolled in the 4 year old kinder program but has been going to community kids since she was 8months old. She love this place. Always comes home in such a good mood with so many stories to tell. Jo (centre manager) is AMAZING along with all the other friendly staff. They all go above and beyond. The centre itself has such a good vibe and is so inviting. Keep it up guys

My 3 kids have been at this centre for over 5 years, all 3 at one stage in different rooms. All of the educators here are amazing, I cannot speak highly enough of them and thank them for all the love, fun and care they have provided to my children. Management has always been outstanding here, communication is great and they are so helpful. All the staff here are so warm, friendly and supportive. My eldest is in the kinder program there now, loving every day there with all the awesome activities like science, gardening, art, special learning days, dress up days, incursions and cooking as well as learning so much, getting ready for big school and having heaps of fun!! The kids menu here is amazing too! Cannot thank u enough!!

My son has been attending this centre for almost 2 1/2 years, 3 days a week. He loves it! He asks to go on days he’s not booked in and even on weekends :)The nature kids/bush kinder program is incredible and he lives for the days they go on adventures. I personally have found all of the educators to be kind and always helpful, willing to chat and discuss his needs. He adores the educators more with every year, and when he finally transitions to school it will be a hard task. As cliche as it sounds, the staff at the centre have become family to us. Could not recommend this centre any higher! We love it.

I am compelled to leave a review of what I witnessed at Mornington Park from an educator from this centre. Kids wearing bright vests with ‘community kids’ and staff member identified she worked at Robertson Rd when I asked.Staff member with short dark/grey hair verbally berating a child for crying. This poor girl was so upset the whole time the kinder group was playing, she did not eat or play. This educator was saying “that’s enough, stop crying, no more tears, we don’t cry. Do you want it (food) or not”. As if that will make the poor girl feel safe enough to play. Educator also yelling at children for wandering a few metres. I understand the balance required between keeping children physically safe/maintaining boundaries. But this woman should not be in childcare, there’s a way to keep children safe without running a boot camp style authoritarian program. I will mention her colleague with long brown hair did console the girl.This happened two weeks ago, I instantly called the manager who confirmed a group of theirs was at Mornington Park. She listened to me but I think parents should know who could potentially be looking after your child.I still wonder how that girl appears when her parent finally collects her, and when it’s time to return to childcare. Very anxious I imagine. Educators should have an emotional safety refresher. So disappointing and scary there’s people like this in childcare.

Our family have been a part of community kids Mornington for almost 5 years now and couldn’t be more proud to say so.The bush kinder program, which has always been run by a very stand out leader has been such a fun and educational part of both of our kids experience at community kids.Our sons have been exposed to society on these bush kinder trips in such a positive way and have learnt how to respect others, have fun, and learn about nature.I myself have seen first hand what great care all the children are in whilst on these excursions and how safe and happy they are all. I can’t recommend community kids Mornington or their leaders more!!! They are like family to our kids!

This centre is great! My son has always struggled socially until he went to this centre. Since he started here, he now has a huge amount of confidence and is a much happier child. I would like to thank the staff for their encouragement they provide to my child with all the activities they provide at this centre. Keep up the great work!
