My 4 year old son goes to Penguin in Caroline Springs. He has been going for almost 2 years now and it has been great! He has noticeably progressed in his learning and his speech. His social skills are blossoming and every time I go in to drop him off or pick him up, the staff there are welcoming and always up talk about any concerns or funny experiences with my son. Its not often I go in there and see kids in tears or fighting, like you would in any day care. The staff are on top of it and always watching the kids. Its important to feel good dropping your kid off to a place they will spend most of the day and I can confidently say, I do at penguin.
Thanks to all the lovely staff for making the beginning of Jordans learning years fun and enjoyable.

The whole team are amazing and I couldn’t recommend Penguin Caroline Springs enough. Starting our boys in childcare initially wasn’t easy, but the team were so supportive, caring and understanding and really helped make the process so much easier. They've been going here for a few years now and now they absolutely love it!

We’ve had such a wonderful experience with Penguin Childcare Caroline Springs. Our oldest son has been attending for three years, and our youngest has now been there for around eight months.

The educators are incredibly caring, kind and accommodating, and I genuinely feel so comfortable leaving my children in their care. Both of my boys are always happy to go, which as a parent says everything.

It’s such a lovely feeling knowing your children are somewhere they feel safe, supported and cared for. We’re so grateful for the beautiful relationships the educators have built with our boys and for the care they show our family. We couldn’t recommend them more highly.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at this centre. From the moment you walk in, the environment feels safe, clean, welcoming and inviting. The educators are genuinely invested in the children’s wellbeing and go above and beyond to get to know not only the children, but their families too.

Our child has absolutely thrived in this environment. We’ve seen growth in confidence, learning and character, and we love how the educators continually encourage his development and celebrate his individuality.

We’ve recommended the centre to friends who have since enrolled their children, and they feel exactly the same way. We’re so grateful to have such a positive experience with trusting a centre with our baby.

My daughter has been at Penguin for almost 3 years now. Since before she was even 1.

We’ve had such a wonderful experience with Penguin. The educators are warm, caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in the children’s wellbeing and development. Our child looks forward to going each day, and we’ve seen such positive growth in their confidence, independence, and social skills.

The communication with families is excellent, and we always feel welcomed, listened to, and kept informed. It’s clear that the team puts a great deal of thought into creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment.

We couldn’t be happier with the care our child receives and would highly recommend this childcare center to any family looking for a place where their child will be genuinely cared for and supported.

My son has been at Penguin Child Care in Caroline Springs for a year and a half, and it's been fantastic from the start. The educators are warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in his development. Communication is excellent — I always know what he's been up to — and the centre is clean, well-run, and full of engaging activities.

My son genuinely loves going in, which says it all. Highly recommend to anyone looking for childcare in Caroline Springs.

We are very happy with this daycare and feel very comfortable having our daughter there. She loves going to daycare and is always happy to see her educators.
The educators are lovely, caring and very supportive. They make sure the children feel safe, happy and included. We also love the large outdoor play yard, which gives the children plenty of space to play and explore.

The centre director is wonderful, friendly and always approachable. We really appreciate all the care and effort the whole team puts into looking after our daughter.

We are very happy with our experience and would definitely recommend this centre to other families. ❤️
