Merinda Park Learning & Community Centre

Great community center offer affordable English class and computer skills and childcare. Friendly staffs and teachers are amazing very helpful for all the students. Perfect times for parents before and after school.

An absolutely TERRIBLE place to study. The admin staff are condescending and their (lack of) support for disabled students is disgusting. The course itself is run in a haphazard way, with students being failed on "non-attendance" because they were told they didn't have to have a camera on during Zoom, and when they did turn cameras off they were punished. The ECEC trainer Jagroop is anti-mask and makes a point of discussing it in class which is inappropriate for obvious reasons. Students who have been caught blatantly plagiarising their assignments are permitted to continue, almost as if MPLC don't care that that is intellectual fraud.

Do not waste your time or money here.

Great Child care and holiday program facilities with low costs.the educators are amazing (very caring and friendly)
Both of my baby and my son are very happy there.
Very recommended to everyone. I wish I knew this Centre earlier.

Different courses. Looking after your children after school

My kids go to the occasional care there, and the lady’s there are so wonderful. Even the staff at the front desk are always so lovely.

Worth every dollar and some.
Lovely bunch of people couldn't rate more highly.

Signed up for a course, paid my deposit, organized child care for my daughter & purchased a laptop, all set to start my studies.
I didn't receive any communication from the center with regards to the course being cancelled or information on it going ahead, so I called on the day the class was meant to start just to make sure all was OK, only to be advised that they didn't have enough people interested for the course to go ahead. Really not good enough. Why wasn't I advised of this prior?

Called today to arrange a refund of my deposit, only to be advised that their accountant is away for a few weeks and it would need to wait for their return. Again, not good enough. $200 isn't a small amount of money.

The only reason I am not rating this as 1 star is because the enrollment officer - Steve, has been absolutely wonderful and apologetic about the way the admin team has handled the course not proceeding and the non notification about it.
I can't rate or comment on the actual studies or teachers, I'm sure they are great, but my experience with trying to further my education through Merinda Park has been a poor experience & a large waste of my time.
