Central Park Child Care Centre

Our first child attended Central Park Child Care from the age of 12 months for one year. After the covid related lockdowns that Melbourne experienced, we had spent a lot of time with our little boy and it was challenging to handover care of him to someone we didn’t know - this was our first experience of someone other than family caring for him. Fortunately for us, CPCC was everything we had hoped for and more. It is a welcoming, comfortable environment with experienced carers. Our little boy loved being there and always talks about the carers.

It’s not tangible but something this childcare has that others don’t, from our experience, is soul. It had a warmth and a vibe that we haven’t experienced since.

We would recommend CPCC to everyone.

Truly a wonderful centre, with dedicated and caring educators who have provided a nurturing home away from home for our son over the past three years. Couldn't recommend this centre more highly.

My son and daughter both attend CPCC and love it. The carers have been there for a long time and are so kind and caring which is a big comfort. It’s a very homely environment and the kids enjoy the multi age grouping as they can be together.

My son currently attends CPCCC. I can't recommend this centre highly enough. The staff are so caring and kind, they really understand what children need. Lots of comfort given by staff and they go above and beyond to ensure each child is comfortable and cared for.
My son enjoys the mixed age centre and loves joining in with the older children. Communication with the centre has always been prompt and easy.
It's a really fantastic centre that feels like a family.

What a treasure CPCC is! We started sending my daughter late last year and within 1 week I already could see why she loved it here. The educators are all divine and Marlene the director is so flexible with days/hours. If I have ever wanted to book in an extra day she is most accomodating. The outdoor space is large with a huge sandpit and many other wonderful things to do even feed some animals!
Thanks for providing my daughter with beautiful care.

Both of my daughters have attended CPCCC and we couldn't be happier. The educators are amazing, all have been working there a long time - a testament to the centre. We feel they have a genuinely caring approach, the children always feel welcome and comfortable. We really like the fact you can attend during kinder/school holidays or for a half day if needed when appointments or work come up. Our girls really benefited from the mixed age group - there are no separate "rooms" so they learn to play with children who are both bigger or smaller than themselves. Consider checking CPCCC out if you are looking for a smaller more homely type of quality childcare.

Such a lovely, enriching and caring environment. The staff are all wonderful and the multi age group works like a big family!

A true home away from home where your children will flourish. My daughter has attended Central Park Child Care for the last four years (combined with kinder for the last two) and we have loved all aspects of this unique and family oriented care environment. A true community led centre with amazing staff that love working with the children of all ages. My little one will miss her time at CPCCC as she ventures off to school.

My daughter has been attending Central Park Child Care Centre for almost 6 months and we absolutely love it. The educators are so caring and provide such a welcoming environment for learning and fun. The other day as we approached the centre, my little girl squealed with excitement. Thank you for taking such good care of her.

My first son was visiting here in early 2000, very good and helpful place.is Tess still here? Thank you so much Tess for teaching my wife how to take care our first child.
