I have 2 children that attend Yarra Park. It’s a wonderfully sweet and homely smaller service nestled in East Melbourne. The staff are superb and they know my children and family so well. Many have worked there for 10+ years and they have a very low staff turnover rate compared to other services. Yarra Park is a quality service which is echoed in the fact they’re rated as Exceeding the National Quality Framework in all standards. They have long day care hours for their Kindergarten Program which makes it so much easier for us to juggle work and other commitments compared to a sessional kinder program.

I have been sending my baby to Yarra Park from 5 months old and it has been just fantastic. The staff are so lovely and have helped her adjust with sensitivity and patience. As a first time mum, they made me feel comfortable from day 1 as well. I couldn’t recommend this centre more highly.

We could not speak more highly of Yarra Park! My son has been attending for over a year and loves it. The educators are so lovely and professional and they all really take the time to get to know each child they care for. There is a strong emphasis on playing to each child's strengths and helping them develop skills, continue their education and maintain a sense of self. My son is going into 3 year old kinder in 2022 and can't wait. :)

My three children attended Yarra Park and we loved every aspect of it. The centre is very welcoming, the carers and educators are amazing and my children thrived there. I always felt so comfortable leaving my kids there to be cared for. The staff are incredible. Thank you for giving my kids such a wonderful, memorable childcare and kinder experience.

I was told to expect a difference between corporate-style daycare centers and Yarra Park Childrens Center, and have been blown away - the staff are amazingly professional, develop astounding relationships with the children and care deeply about their personal development. The difference really is night and day, and would not hesitate to recommend over anywhere else - I wanted somewhere that treated my children as developing people, and not as another number - Yarra Park Childrens Center delivers, above and beyond.

Love the centre, love the service. The educators are consistent and amazing at their jobs. The managers are supportive and are always helpful. I love seeing familiar faces every time I come in. Definitely would recommend Yarra Park children centre!

My daughter has attended Yarra Park since she was just 7 months old, she is now 4 and about to start her final kindergarten year in 2021. She has developed wonderful friendships with children she has known since she was a baby and has maintained beautiful relationships with her exceptional educators and teachers each year. It's been a tough year with two lockdowns but they were able to maintain a connection to my child and our family throughout it all and she has loved coming back to such a familiar and welcoming place. I couldn't recommend it more. It's a great not for profit childcare and kindergarten option in the inner city with small child to educator numbers.

Used this service for 3 years (2017 to 2019) and it was great. Staff are super friendly and supportive - both flexible when we needed them to be around pick-up/drop-off times but not at all sloppy - a really well managed and operated center. The environment was warm and non-corporate which was exactly what we were looking for - would resoundingly recommend and use again if ever the need arose...

Attended this place as kid about 17 years ago. Loved it
