Monash Vale Early Learning Centre Clayton

My son started attending Monash Vale almost 2 years ago, after a pretty big research trying to find the right place that would give me peace of mind of leaving my little treasure in there. For this reason I feel in the must to tell my experience so it can help other people like me, to make the best decision.
Back in time when he just started at Monash Vale we suspected something wasn’t quite right with him. Only a month ago he has been diagnosed with ASD and even though this is not a Specialist School for kids with special needs I have to say that they are absolutely remarkable. They are gorgeous people and they have done everything to help my son out, caring of every single detail to assist him and cover all his special needs. I feel so extremely lucky and happy to have found this place. There is not a better one in this planet that would have fitted us better. All educators (wonderful girls), family owners and beautiful Shanika, all of them have treated us and specially our son with so much dignity, kindness, care, love…they have treated us like a real family and we really feel like home. This is the most reliable and family atmosphere that you could ever find out there, feeling safe and comfortable to leave your beautiful
Children and I say it with property. So safe that in this almost 2 years my son has never suffered any accident, injuries, sunburn, nappy rash. Not a single time.
Honestly there are not words to thank enough, I’m forever grateful of you all Monash Vale Team and what you have done for us so far, and I’ll cherish it in my heart to the end of my days. Thanks for loving and caring of our child so beautifully, for holding our hands in this very challenging time for us (and for you too) and bigger thanks for still holding our hands after that and even stronger instead of letting us fall when we needed you the most.

Lovely childcare, my daughter has enjoyed so much in the centre, their teachers are all patient, kind and very responsible. Luckily we choose here.

My elder daughter recently started school after staying at Monash vale for 4 years. The best thing about this place is I haven't seen any educators resigning during that period. My younger daughter just started with them and she is being cared by the same educators who looked after my elder one which is very comforting for me as a working mum. I know they are in good hands. I could have sent my younger one to another facility which is closer to us but the confidence and reliability I have on them is more important than the distance. They are regularly engaging children with various activities and both my daughters love going there. I would highly recommend this place and I would give more stars if I can.

Amazing team and institute to send your kids to. We sent our kid this ELC and we know how much of a positive influence the educator had on his upbringing. Can’t thank enough for their hard work, care, empathy and dedication.

The educators in my child’s room are thoughtful and caring, there are also lots of activities each day of the week. The centre is well managed and scheduled, I highly recommend Monash Vale.

After navigating 4 different childcare centres with my 2 kids, we finally landed on monashvale for my anxious 3yo who was regressing. It was the best decision, the staff are incredible and they are all highly educated in early learning with a focus on well-being and learning. My daughter has gained so many new skills and more importantly her confidence has grown and her anxiety has melted away. I can't speak highly enough for the amazing staff and the learning program. Simply incredible!

Easily the best childcare centre around. Far better than the big franchises. Juana, Shanika and the rest of the team are lovely. They're patient, kind and supportive to all the children; couldn't recommend this place more.

Excellent Early learning centre. From teachers to all admin staff everyone so helpful and always there to help you with your any queries. Lots of activities for kids through out the day. My Son loves it. Highly recommended.

We have visited at least more than 4 childcare before settling in Monash Vale Early Learning Centre. The childcare has a unique homey feeling, and it is effortless for my son to transit; he has been eager to go to the childcare every day ever since. Apparently, he made a few good friends over there. Nick is accommodating and supportive; Shanika is one of the best communicators I have ever seen. She keeps us up to date, and you do not feel your child is away; it is almost like he is in my family members' house. But, of course, the best judge is the child; if my son is standing in front of the door and getting dressed by 8 am and eager to go the childcare, you know, he is in very good hands.

Both of my kids attended monash vale. We had a really good experience. Their program is the best. Children have different experience everyday. My son loves science lab, kelly sprots, music and so on. Also learnt a lot from mandarine class. All the staff are nice and helping. Graduation ceremony was really impressive. Very happy with the care they provided.

The absolute best ever early learning and daycare centre in my opinion. I knew from the day i walked in there after seeing 5 other centres. Apart from all the things required from such a service (in which they master hands down) they have the biggest hearts. They actually make you feel like family. My nephew and niece recently left this centre and truely miss being there. The bonds they had with their educators and friends was sooo special. The whole team helped my niece and nephew in so many ways.they are growing into beautiful little individuals because of the lovely people there. Everything they have learnt.from science to sitting on the mat has shown in these children. There are so many things they have learnt at this centre and i thank the team for always going above and beyond. When i look at how far my nephew and niece have come i am truely proud.and this is because of the beautiful environment, efforts and dedication the team at MVELC Clayton have provided. I strongly recommend and commend them. Thank you MVELC Clayton.always in our hearts and still spoken of.

I am so grateful that my boy is learning such important and valuable lessons at Monash Vale. Their preschool program is exceptional and invaluable. Their program ranges from literacy to music and science. The Preschoolers are also exposed to learning about different cultures, languages and diversity at such young age which is doing wonders to these young minds. I would highly recommend Monash Vale not only as a caring and trustworthy daycare for our little ones but a Centre with an exceptional preschool program. Big shout out to Charmaine, Larissa, Emily, Shanika and all the educators involved!

I am so glad that I found Monashvale as the childcare for my daughter. The environment is very homey. All the staff are kind and approachable. They always have different programs going in every month. My daughter loves being at Monashvale. Every time we pass by, she always points out Monashvale by herself. Thank you for taking care of her

It has been absolutely lovely and enjoyable experience for both my kids to go to Monash Vale Early Learning Centre. The educators are passionate and patient with children. The management team is approachable and professional. Recreational events and informative sessions are provided for families. I highly recommend this centre.

I have enrolled our daughter after trying two other centres before this and she has newer been more happier to get up and go here in the morning. That sums up how they are getting looked after once we drop them off. The staff is fantastic and been there for a long time. Its definitely the home away from home for my daughter. If I had more than 5 stars I would have given it. Couldn't recommend a better place than this for your child in Monash area.

My daughter now in prep attended Monash Vale Early Learning Centre in Clayton since she was 11 months old - up until she left to attend school. And there is a reason why we stayed there for a long time. The Monash Vale ELC is full of educators who are fully qualified, caring and have the biggest hearts. You can tell that the children is at the centre of everything they do.

I could see my daughter's personality flourished in this centre, and through the 4 year old kinder program I have seen her learning subjects that I didn't think a 4 or 5 year old would be interested in.

As with other childcares, do expect adjustment period when you start, but please have an open conversation with the educators and management. They are more than willing to listen and find solution for each child. We were so sad to leave the centre when my daughter finally went to school. We've been wanting to visit the centre and say hi to everyone, but due to the pandemic, we don't want to risk everyone's health (obviously you can't go in without cuddles).

We didn't have regrets choosing this centre, and this is not only my sentiments. Many of the parents I've conversed with agree that the educators were doing such a great job and we were very happy with them. Please do consider Monash Vale ELC when you are looking for a childcare service in Clayton area.

I have done a lot of research and tours for many child cares when I needed to send my daughter 2 years ago, at beginning I wasn’t sure as Monash Vale isn’t the newest among all the centres I visited, however I chose Monash Vale because my friend told me it’s good and she sent her son there too. I am glad I have chosen Monash Vale for my daughter because she loved it from the start. All the educators are very professional and friendly, my daughter always have her favourite one in each room. Everyday she is very excited to grab her socks wear her shoes and go to school, she runs in and open the door herself, turn around says bye to me and walks away play, recently she refuses to leave when I pick her up, we cannt drive pass the centre on the weekend cause she wants to go in. Everyday she comes back home with new words and new skills. Highly recommend and thanks all the staffs there who looked after her.

Would definitely recommend Monash Vale Early Learning to parents out there.
Educators are very professional, passionate and dedicated in what they do.
My child has progressed and grown so much emotionally, mentally and physically.
Well done to the team of Monash Vale and keep up the excellent work.

We feel so lucky that our little daughter is able to attend Monash Vale. The educators are so passionate about the kids and the centre is brilliantly managed by Nick and Anna. It brings about new and fun experience for us. We couldn't recommend it more highly.

I will highly recommend this centre - Family owned and very warm & friendly environment. Staff very good. Owners Nick and Anna are very warm and approachable and super passionate about their work. Centre regularly exceeds national quality standards for their outstanding work.

My little boy was in the kinder room under the loving care of his teachers Shanika and Charmain. Both are wonderful teachers and took very good care of him. Thanks Monash Vale and the entire staff)
