Early Learning Centre

Healthy meals, unbeatable hours, play-based learning, loving staff, little chaotic.
The Early Learning Centre is a fabulous daycare and my family has been thankful to rely on them for many years. The first and biggest selling feature for us was that the centre is 24 hours. Yes, 24 hours. That means you can book your child for a typical 8 am – 6 pm daycare day, or book an 11 am – 9 pm if that’s what you need, or even book weekend or overnight care. They will also frequently allow the booking of half days for roughly half the care price, which makes it great for those doing part time work or families where two people’s schedules only partially overlap.
The second biggest selling feature for my family was the food. Rose is an outstanding cook, offering fresh and well balanced meals, ranging from pizza days to curry. The kids are also encouraged to take mealtime responsibility by learning to pour their drinks and clear the table.
The classes do “units” of learning based on interests expressed by the kids, building with outdoor materials, watching tadpoles grow, and all kinds of other exploratory fun. The staff is very devoted to the kids. They all show obvious care and connection. They use the HiMama ap to keep parents involved as well, sending pictures through the day.
My one frustration with the centre is that, because they are 24 hour, there are staff on a range of different schedules. That means sometimes a teacher goes home for the day only an hour or two after the kids are dropped off. If they forget to pass on information to the next person, it can make for little chaotic scrambles over whose coat ended up where and how.

A good, licensed daycare. Particular attention is paid to the menu, which is all prepared from fresh, real ingredients. Most notable about this center is it's a 24 hour care center. They are able to accommodate all schedules.

They do need to work on tightening up the ship a bit. I'm often supprised when staff don't communicate between each other, or when I am have to advocate for my child for a specific need.
