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.

“The team at Talented Tots childcare centre are amazing. My child loves going there and has thrived under their care. When we were searching for a daycare for our child, we visited many daycares but nothing seemed quite what we were looking for and then we came across Talented tots and we knew straight away it was the right place for us – it had such a warm, nurturing and homely feel. All the teachers are wonderful, caring, very dedicated. They provide nutritious food. Their preschool transition to school is outstanding it offers engaging learning activities. The safe environment and fantastic teachers make this place feel like a home away from home.”

“I’d like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the entire team at Talented Tots. We’ve experienced kindergartens in 4 different countries, and we can confidently say that Talented Tots is truly special — it’s the place our child runs to every morning with a big smile! Our daughter started when she was 2.5 and didn’t speak English, but the teachers went above and beyond to help her settle in quickly and comfortably. We also love the warm, multicultural atmosphere — it’s wonderful to see children from different backgrounds playing and learning together. I’d especially like to mention our wonderful teachers. They are true professionals who show incredible care and attention to every child. Thanks to their dedication and the engaging activities (like drawing, crafting, music, etc), our daughter has become more creative, independent, and confident in communicating with others. Thank you so much for your love, patience, and commitment to our children. We’re so happy to be part of this amazing community and would highly recommend Talented Tots to any family!”

“Both my daughters have attended this daycare, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the care and love they’ve received over the years. My eldest started here and thrived , socially, emotionally, and academically …,and now my youngest is having the same wonderful experience. The teachers are nurturing, patient, and genuinely invested in each child’s growth. The environment is warm, safe, and full of fun learning opportunities. Communication is excellent, and I always feel confident knowing my child is in the best hands. It truly feels like a second home for our family, and we’re so grateful for everything the team does every day. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a daycare that goes above and beyond”

“If you are looking for a childcare center where you genuinely feel like family, look no further than Talented Tots. When I was initially searching for a daycare for my daughter, I fell in love with this place instantly, and almost five years later, they continue to exceed expectations. What truly sets Talented Tots apart is the living care from the teaching staff. They are not babysitters who simply supervise; they are active educators who are always involved. They teach, guide, help kids grow, and interact constantly—a level of engagement I did not see at other centers. On a personal level, they are miracle workers: they somehow manage to get my typically extremely picky daughter to eat everything! It is hard to believe, but even after a recent management change, the center has gotten even better, which speaks volumes about the quality and dedication of everyone involved. Special shoutouts to the most beautiful souls there: Nancy, Boyi, Neno, and Sari. My girl absolutely trusts, loves, and looks up to you all. Thank you for everything you do!”
