Cashmere Early Learning Centre

“CELC is an absolute wee gem. Iris and her staff are so sweet it’s like leaving your children with family each day. Our wee girl started from 8 mths old in the baby area and stayed until she started school. In all this years I could not fault them in any way whatsoever. Extremely personable , warm and caring, and far from a large main stream pre school with large numbers. I think their size is just right and they always went above and beyond for any request we ever had that were individual to our girl. For example she was always put down for a nap how & when we asked. As a mum of 5 I have no hesitation in recommending them at all.”

“Our daughter settled into CELC immediately with support from the skilled and dedicated teachers there. The children, families, and teachers are all so welcoming and it has a real values-focused feel. There are always activities set up in the mornings which the kids seem to love. I'm so glad we enrolled our daughter here!”

“CELC is a hidden gem. We wanted a small, supportive environment for our 2 year old and are so glad we found this centre! The staff are wonderful and our daughter loves going. She settled quickly and we felt part of the family straight away. Small ratios and qualified teachers, you won’t regret choosing them 😀”

“We highly recommend CELC to everyone who looks for a place that feels like a second home to their child. We have reviewed many centres in the area and are so happy that we have chosen this one. Since we moved our son to CELC we no longer have issues with crying during drop-offs. Each morning there is great selection of activities ready to go, and the kids are so eager to try them that I have to repeatedly ask to get a kiss goodbye. They have multiple areas for children to play including a main room, quiet room, outdoor patio and a well setup large outdoor area. They are very well equipped for many activities and they are always coming up with new ideas for how to help the little ones be more self-sufficient. They have the most amazing team of teachers that give this centre the family feel where I know that my child is safe and happy. Our son calls Iris “Preschool Mama”; I believe that it is self-explanatory. They work with every child as an individual and help them to improve the skills they struggle with and build confidence. A great example is that they taught our son how to ride a scooter in less than a month after us attempting the same for over a year.”

“I can't recommend CELC more highly. I have been blown away by the centre and the team who make it so special. My two children have blossomed during their time at CELC. The teachers are kind, caring and intentionally foster a safe, calm, stimulating environment for the children. There are fun new activities daily, the children are taught in a way which fosters a love of learning, and they learn not only information about how the world works but also about self-care, relationship skills and emotion regulation. The centre has exceeded my expectations. 5* and thank you so much CELC team!”
