Camberwell Junction Early Learning Centre

Thank you Camberwell Junction ELC for offering such a supportive environment. We are very sad to be saying goodbye after an amazing two years at the centre. Thanks to the team for their dedication to providing quality care, fostering developmental growth, and maintaining open communication with parents. I recommend CJELC to any parent looking for an enriching childcare experience.

Our child has attended this centre for the last 3 years and we have been extremely happy with the high level of care at the centre. He is currently in the kinder program and can’t wait to get to the centre each morning to see his friends and the educators. The high level of supervision, excellent educators and the diverse programmes are all so professional. The centre always communicates with us on a daily basis via the kindy hub app and timely newsletters. The directors are always available for us and are so flexible if we need to change days to accommodate our busy life. Thank you so much to all the educators at Camberwell Junction ELC.

Our daughter is thoroughly enjoying her time at CJELC and us as parents are happy with the high level of care they have shown in our daughters education and development. Working from home I get to see the excitement in her face each morning as she grabs her jacket and shoes and runs to the door. The staff are welcoming, nutrition and variety of food – excellent! And kindness from all staff to ourselves and daughter make us know we made the right choice. Especially impressed with the large outdoor area – our daughter loves the trikes and they follow each other around the track. She now takes direction so well and impressed with her cleanliness – Well done CJELC! Highly recommend

Our child A, started at CJELC in August 2022 and has recently moved from the Baby room to the toddler room. From the moment we inquired about a spot last year through to today, Linda/Deepti and the wonderful team have been so incredibly helpful and welcoming. Their smiling faces every morning have made it something to look forward to after a tough year prior. They have comforted and welcomed not only my child A but also us as parents. Something I did not expect before entering the world of childcare. Every day they smile and welcome A with open arms and I know they have my child’s best interests at heart because the GENUINELY love children. They treat her with so much respect and kindness and I can honestly say what a leap A has gone in a year along with regular developmental milestones. The fun things we get to see her doing at childcare has reassured me through this journey with regular photos and goals emailed. A loves it too! So much so she runs to the door for childcare on her days there and sometimes doesn’t want to leave when there (which I know is because she is having a good time!). The activities included such as Hey Dee Ho, sports program, all cultural/religious holidays celebrated and embraced and the grandparents/parent’s days are so important to A’s education. She’s even had a visit from the fire brigade (for fun!) and dentist to check her teeth (she loves brushing her teeth!). Overall, a wonderful experience and no complaints here for this childcare centre. We can’t wait for her to move to kinder there. Highly recommend and from the bottom of my heart…. Thank you.

Our daughter's 2 and a half years at Camberwell Junction ELC, were fantastic! She learnt so much, made lots of lovely friends and enjoyed every day. The staff and educators were amazing, and the place runs like clockwork: we couldn't be happier with the hard work everyone did to prepare her for school this year. 11 out of 10 everyone, and a big Thank You!

My boys went there in the last few years and we were very happy. Great team, small groups, a lot of extracuricular activities and now they have a new out door play area. Thank you Linda and the team, it was a pleasure:)

An excellent childcare! They take their job seriously at all times. My child has been always happy and loved.

Camberwell Junction early learning centre really has so much to offer. Excellent management, hard working, caring staff that have become part of our extended family. CJELC offer a full service all around, healthy meals, a full day of care, activities, education and extended extra curricular activities for children and parents such as morning teas, afternoon teas, parents and grandparents days, holiday celebrations, career days, first aid training for parents and the list goes on. The kinder program is above and beyond any kinder programs I have seen, read and heard about, it’s structured, educational and enjoyable. CJELC offer daily activities such as yoga, hey de ho, music, learning languages and sports buzz which offers daily variation for children. They introduce healthy eating and a full variety of cultural learning. My daughter enjoys attending daily and is learning so much, she has really advanced and excelled since starting at CJELC. The admin staff are so helpful with assistance on CCS where they can, supporting families including separated families, providing free doctor and dentist services where parents find it difficult to organise time and money for this, their diligent management of preventing illness and viruses spreading through the centre is exceptional. The staff prepare and support yourself and your child for their transition for primary school. So for those looking for a great environment for your precious babies, yes, the fees may seem high but you really get what you pay for here, fees have not risen like other daycares for the last three years, not to say it won’t happen but what is a few dollars when you get everything you do with CJELC. I can’t thank the team enough for caring for and educating my daughter consistently with understanding and integrity during her time here. I really can’t recommend this centre highly enough. Well done team! We will miss you all so very much when my daughter starts school, we will be back for visits!

Thank you so much for all the care and love you gave to my son. All the carers are fantastic and my son had a great time there. We always knew our son was well looked after there, which was so important for my wife and I to be able to get back to work without being concerned. We are all missing you very much. Please keep your efforts on having great staff, this is in my view the most important thing for a childcare.

This is a great center with high quality service. This is the second center my child attended & I'm delighted how it helped my son grow and fitin really well. Both Management & staff is professional, positive and passionate in what they do. My son in Kinder Room have a great time here, and i've seen lot of improvements within just 6 months of time while he attended. Staff is very observant on each child and the comments I get from them about each day proves that they spend quality time with each kid and they suggestions they provide are really helpful.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this for anyone.

Hi Linda, thank you again for the gorgeous flowers you gave me for my 2 years At CJELC, they made my day as it's nice to feel appreciated. I absolutely love coming to work each and every day and I can't tell you how much of a difference you have also made to our days at work, we especially appreciated all the extra staff as it really makes a huuuuuuuge difference. It's been a pleasure seeing you come in ever morning and getting to know you a bit better and have the odd conversation whether it be about work or the weekend. You are a fantastic boss and I wouldn't have it any other way!

Great centre. My son has been going there before he turned one and he loves it. Keep up the great job of educating the kids!

My son loved coming here, he made so many wonderful friends and the teachers were amazing - highly recommend

Our son has had a wonderful experience here. I love the consistency in staff, regular updates on his day via detailed reports that I receive on my phone and great educational activities. He loves attending and we really appreciate the time and effort that goes into ensuring the happiness, safety and wellbeing of our child.

Highly recommend CJELC. My son loved going here and a special shout out to all the toddler room educators, all the educators are warm, friendly and they do really care about the well being of your child. I have a huge collection of art work that my son did at this daycare. Loved getting updates on the app. We moved suburbs and hence we had to change childcare centres. Huge thanks to the team and admin staff!

Hi, I worked at CJELC for a year as an educator. Unfortunately I had to leave this place since I had to go back to my home country. I thouroughly enjoyed working at this place. All my co-workers, my manager and the owner of this place are amazing people to work with. They all have always supported and motivated me for all my efforts. Everyone at the centre is very loving and caring. Beautiful place to work.

My nephew goes to this centre. I must say that they have a fantastic hands on support system, quality of good educators and a loving environment! Definitely recommend this!

My son attended CELC for the past year and a half. He was only 6 months old when he first attended and the staff were amazing with him. My reason for moving him is purely location. My son has always been very well cared for, the staff are all lovely and friendly, and the facilities are great. I can't agree with the negative comments below. You can't please everybody I suppose!
I have nothing bad to say about this place, my experience has always only been a positive one. We are both very sad to say goodbye and we will really miss it there. Thank you again!

My daughter attended CJELC for 2 years from 2015 to 2017. I found the staff to be very engaged, caring and helpful. My daughters allergies were well catered for and she was provided nutritious and gourmet meals and snacks each day. The centre was also very flexible in adding extra days when I needed them. There was lots of outdoor play and fun activities.

My son has been attending this centre since he was 6 months old and he is turning 5 this year. We moved to another suburb when he was 18 months old but i didn’t want to change the centre based on the quality of education and care that he was receiving. I am a very fussy mom. We commute 1/2 hr each way. It’s worth it. I am not worried about his transition to pri school.
I have used couple of educators for baby sitting. They are the only people I trust. The advantage of this centre is the location. 5 min walk to the trains. 15 min to the city. There is parking available at the centre. I do all my grocery shopping before I pick him up.
Everyday you receive an update on the activities of the day via an email and an app. It’s great for our discussions about how the day went. Loves his mandarin classes and yoga. There is a doc visiting every thurs. The management is very friendly, caring, supportive and professional. I highly recommend this centre to anyone.
