About Education & Care Service

Education & Care Services are mainstream early learning centres that offer full-day or part-day care with a structured curriculum, qualified teachers, and a focus on learning through play. They cater to families needing flexible childcare options and wanting a balanced approach that supports social, physical, and early academic development in a diverse environment.

Centres can set their own enrolment patterns and may ask for optional charges, but the funded hours themselves should be free of compulsory fees. If you are unsure how this works at Genius Kids Early Childhood Educational Centre, it is best to ask the centre directly how they apply 20 Hours ECE.

“My son has been attending this centre since he was 6 months old, and now at 20 months my heart fills with gratitude every time I drop him off. He is welcomed with so much warmth and affection that he often runs into his teacher's arms without even looking back. Watching him grow, learn, and feel so safe and happy in this environment has been incredibly special for our family. I truly feel that he is seen, heard, and cared for here and that makes all the difference in his days and in ours too.”

“My baby started going to this daycare since she was 14 months old. We are very happy about her growth, getting settled in the new environment, adapting to new things. A perfect place to send your little one. The chef is amazing with her cooking skills. She makes nutritious meals and keeps experimenting with the dishes. So, kids can get variety of flavors and new dishes to enjoy. Highly recommend this daycare.”

“We have just started our 10 month old here and have been overwhelmed by how caring, friendly and supportive the staff have all been. They have taken so much time to make sure she is comfortable and is looked after very well. It's a lovely atmosphere to go into, always calm but the children always have activities and things to do. The teachers work well as a team and are very thorough with their processes. As a first time parent it feels great to leave my baby in not just capable but loving hands where I know she is happy all day . Thank you”

“My son has been going to Genius Kids since he was only nine months old, and he's turning four this month. Genius Kids has been a fantastic educator and carer for him. They don't only do a tremendous job of looking after my son, but they also understand parents' situations and adapt to whatever you are going through with your family. I would definitely recommend.”

“The team at Genius Kids are Amazing!! My son took a long time to adapt but the teachers were very patient with him and he is slowly settling down. We find a lot of difference within 1 month of him in daycare. His communication skills has improved so much from the time we joined him. Amanda is very focused on the well being of the children. She makes sure the daycare is clean throughout the day. Special mention to Angela for looking after my son like her own child, Linda for all the extra cuddles and to Radhika for being very understanding during my drop offs when my son is having a meltdown. Thank you again for looking after my son. I was very stressed the first few days but now I am more at peace looking at the entire team taking so much care for my son.”
