I cannot speak highly enough of Marino Early Learners. We are so lucky to have this gem in our community! The staff are exceptional! They genuinely care, support and nurture children. They got to know my daughter very well, and always took an interest in our family. My daughter loved attending and would be rushing out the door to get there in the morning.... and sometimes was very reluctant to leave at the end of the day! The environment has a homely feel to it and the outdoor space is very inviting. I used to feel jealous leaving my daughter in the garden in the mornings when I had to go to work and be inside all day! My daughter has built strong friendships there and we have got to know other families well too. Her confidence has really grown during her time there. The education program is impressive and each terms' learning project is centered, and evolves, around the interests of the children. I have been amazed at some of the things my daughter has learnt there - eg. learning songs in mandarin, indigenous culture, naming states/territories, learning how to tie. Families are always invited to be as involved as they want in the learning. When she finished, we were presented with folders which documented her learning portfolio during her years there and this is a really lovely keepsake to have. We really appreciate all the staff do and will miss MEL.... until our youngest is old enough to attend!!

Marino Early Learners Childcare Centre has been an incredible place for my child’s early development. The centre offers a warm, homely environment where every child feels safe and valued. The centre has excellent educator-to-child ratios, which are higher than many other centres. This means each child receives more individual attention and support. The outdoor space is large and inviting, giving children plenty of opportunities to explore, play, and connect with nature. The educators are truly exceptional—they are caring, inclusive, and deeply committed to understanding and supporting each child’s unique needs. They follow the interests of the children, creating engaging learning experiences that foster curiosity and confidence. They have an inclusive approach and partner with families on how to best support children. The educators provide guidance and support not only for the children but also for parents, making the transition to school smooth and stress-free. Thanks to their dedication, my child is well-prepared and excited to start school next year. I highly recommend Marino Early Learners to any family looking for a nurturing, supportive, and enriching childcare environment.

We are so grateful for the care our daughter received at this centre. When she first started, she couldn’t speak any English at all, but the educators supported her with so much patience and kindness. Over the months, we watched her grow in confidence, start using English, and truly enjoy coming to the centre every day. The team is warm, professional, and genuinely cares about each child. As a family new to Australia, we felt very welcomed and supported. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and highly recommend this wonderful centre.

My son attended Marino Early Learners for a year leading up to starting primary school. His experience there was amazing. He started at Marino after 4 different childcare centres and within that year he gained confidence, made freinds and learned so much. I can't thank Jie, Tracey and all of the wonderful educators enough. I would recommend Marino Early Learners to every parent and if you have a shy child, they will thrive 😊

We are truly grateful for the care and support provided by Marino Early Learners Childcare Centre. From the very beginning, Director Jie and all the staff have been incredibly helpful, kind, and attentive to our daughter’s needs. She genuinely enjoys every day she spends at the centre, and we’ve seen remarkable growth in her confidence, social skills, and development. Whenever we faced challenges, whether related to her behavior or development, the educators were always there with the right guidance and support. Their advice has made a real difference in our parenting journey, and we always felt like we were not alone. What means the most to us is how happily our daughter talks about the educators—it's clear how much she feels loved and valued there. We highly recommend Marino Early Learners to any parent looking for a nurturing and supportive environment. Just visit the centre and have a chat with Jie—you’ll quickly see why this place is so special. She truly has the answers and will guide you in the right direction. ❤️

My son loves this childcare center! The director and all the teachers are so kind, professional, and caring. The teacher-to-child ratio is low, so every child gets lots of attention and support. I’ve really seen my son grow and enjoy his time here. Highly recommend!

MEL has been absolutely amazing. We couldn’t be more happier and comfortable sending our Son to this centre. The educators and director Jie have welcomed us with open arms. Highly recommend for your little ones ☺️

Marino early learners is such a beautiful family and child oriented centre. We have had both our boys attend since the age of 1, so the team have been involved in our lives for the past 5 years and we are so incredibly grateful for the guidance, care, kindness and compassion they have shown us and our children. Thank you to Jie, Tracy, Ellen and the team for being the best educators and carers for our boys!

Marino Early Learners has been a wonderful environment for our son. The team of educators are professional, dedicated, kind and caring. The communication with the team has been wonderful, about our child as well as activities and events happening at the daycare. There are lots of spaces indoors and out with recent upgrades to the outdoor space with lots of fun structures for the kids to make their own adventures. There are different spaces for the kids based on age, and is enclosed for safety. There's even a view of the ocean! We felt very confident leaving our son in their care and the impact they've had on his learning and development. But don't take my word for it, have a visit and witness all the happy kiddos paying together. That's a great metric for a positive, caring daycare environment.

Wonderful daycare with dedicated, caring educators. Our son attended full time for 3 years and we could not have been happier with the care and education he received from Jie and all her team. It was very reassuring to know he was so well looked after and I'd highly recommend this daycare to anyone.
