What the parents say
What the parents say
"As first time parents shopping around for full time care for our 12 month old, I was told by other mums “you’ll just know, you’ll get a vibe”. The vibe here is amazing! We love it, from the first tour to orientation to now doing the day to day drop off and pick up, I can’t recommend pearl st enough. The staff are amazing, nothing is too much trouble, the kids seem so happy and playful, and any mum guilt I had going back to work was gone from day 1"
Rebecca
"I've been sending my daughter to Pearl Street Child Care for 3 years now and I couldn't be happier with the service. The staff are really caring and have helped my daughter gain confidence and great social skills, I especially love being emailed the 'stories' about what my daughter has been up to. I recommend this centre to anybody I can!"
Amy
"We love Pearl Street day care! I love the fact that they're not a big chain but a boutique day care center. Everyone knows each other by name,even the parents have gotten to know each other! The carers are simply amazing! They know everything about my child from their favorite food, what makes them smile, how to teach them things. Dont be fooled by their simple set up or the lack of apps - kids dont need that! Over here they'll find warmth, love, someone to make them smile, give them a sense of comfort, that's all they need."
Vrisha
"My children adore the Educators at Pearl Street. It is such a lovely and caring environment. We especially love the homely feel of the centre. We feel as though we are part of the Pearl street family. It's relieving to know our children are so well taken care of while we are at work. I couldn't recommend a better centre."
Melanie
"I have had my daughter in at Pearl Street Child Care Centre on and off due to work commitments over the past three years and can 100% recommend this Centre. If you are looking for quality care with friendly staff who will take an interest in your child and tell you about it at the end of the day, then book your child in or better yet, visit the Centre and see for yourself!"
Cameron
"Such a fabulous centre! Our son loves it so much, he doesn’t want to leave when we pick him up. The carers are great and they work hard to create a fun, educational, clean, safe and caring environment for the kids. The centre is small so we have enjoyed getting to know the other parents and have a great relationship with the manager Kristy, who is dedicated to her job and truly cares about the kids and their needs. Our room leader Richa adores our son and he loves her too and we feel totally at ease knowing he’s having fun, learning every day, eating good food and in such capable care. Highly recommend!"
Jane
"Fantastic centre. We are so pleased with all the love, support and care they show for all the children."
Aaron
"Very friendly and helpful. A lot of variety in play time and meals for the kids. A happy place to be in and all the kids seem like they are having fun".

Meet the team
Meet the team
The team at Pearl Street Childcare Centre is made up of knowledgeable and hardworking educators. They understand their responsibilities and are each committed to ensuring every child has a positive learning experience at the centre.
“I believe that children blossom in an environment that is stimulating, inclusive, nurturing and safe, one that encourages them to achieve their best, through exploration, engagement at meaningful experiences and through play-based learning.
I feel strongly about building meaningful relationships with families from the moment they first enter our service. This is extremely important as it lays the foundation to support each child’s wellbeing, development and their sense of belonging.”
Kristy, Centre Manager
Centre philosophy
Centre philosophy
“We understand children begin their learning journey from the moment they are born and the first eight years of a child’s life is considered fundamental in establishing core values, sense of identity, and self-worth. We believe parents and families are the child's first educator and our role as Educators is to facilitate a collaborative and supportive approach throughout your child’s developmental and learning journey.
Our educational philosophy supports enquiry and play-based learning opportunities in natural and responsive environments. Our learning programs are designed to be emergent in nature and, through reflective practices, are guided by the children’s interests and needs.”

Kinda funny! And a big red flag!! 🚩 Stop getting your staff and placement students to do reviews. It’s not ethical at all... Kinda funny! And a big red flag!! 🚩 Stop getting your staff and placement students to do reviews. It’s not ethical at all and is a conflict of interest getting them to hype you guys up unless they have children there. Read more
