My son started January this year and has been thriving at The Lakes ELC. Awesome atmosphere, music always playing throughout the day, nutritious food, and always a friendly face at pick up and drop offs. Gary, the director, is always active in interacting with all kids and has even helped my kiddo settle in his earlier days. We have found a great community here and looking forward to sending my youngest here in the next year. Special thanks to Miss Tejal for continuing to play a huge role in my sons development.

The Lakes Early Learning has been a great childcare for my daughter. After moving  from interstate I visited quite a few centres, but none of them felt the right fit for us until Gary gave us a tour of his amazing centre. I was impressed by the warm , inviting and spacious centre. The children were all enjoying themselves,  Gary knew them all  by name. When my child started, the educators took good care of her and showed genuine interest in her. I  would highly recommend this centre.

The whole centre has just been a hit since day dot for my children, they’re thriving and ask everyday to go. The centre has been so patient and thoughtful with our family as it is our first time at a daycare and we have chosen the best for our children in our opinion.
They listen to our concerns and always have our children’s best interests at heart always. We recommend this childcare centre to everyone who asks.
