Care For Kids School of Early Learning - Morley

Staff consistency stands out across three years of enrollments; educators like Megan, Laura, Elise, and Veronica are named repeatedly by families who describe feeling "like one big family." Children thrive in small rooms (3 total), stay engaged with field trips and outdoor play, and eat well on prepared meals. One serious 2-year-old complaint alleged dirty linens and neglect during distress; the overwhelming majority report opposite experiences, though hygiene details are sparse in recent reviews. The centre serves infants through kindy with approved childcare subsidy and claims NQS rating. Parents consistently cite not feeling rushed or managed via iPad photos, and singles or working families mention flexible, understanding staff. Small size means runny noses are normal but serious illness is rare; daily deep cleaning is claimed but not independently verified.
