A fabulous small, not for profit, community run Centre. ECC is like an extended family for our children. The staff show incredible care and interest in the children's learning and development. We feel so lucky to be part of the ECC community!

I am delighted with the care we have received at Elwood Children's Centre. It it is a caring and community minded childcare centre that feels like a home away from home. The staff take a keen interest in every child's development, and there are a host of creative and educational activities. Highly recommend.

Our son has been attending ECC for over a year and I can say it is the best childcare centre! The educators are caring, passionate, compassionate and committed to educating the future generation. Our son has thrived at ECC, making lots of friends and always coming home so happy and full of stories about his day, plus lots of new songs and games that he teaches us. The centre is homely and intimate, making you feel like a very special part of the centres community. We could not be happier and could not recommend ECC more!!
Really nice kids. My son made so many friends
Our son has been going to ECC since he was 1 and we have seen him thrive during this period, he is now 3 and a half. His carers have been wonderful at managing his various development stages and he is excited to learn and see his friends each day. We are so happy that centres like this exist in the community, it operates as an epicentre for the local community and has led to friendships of parents and carers for us too. Could not recommend it enough!

My daughter just finished her 2 years at ECC and is off to school next year. We have had an amazing experience with the centre, every carer and staff member was exceptional. My daughter has built a beautiful sense of community at this small centre and there was not a single day she wasn't excited to run into the gates (this wasn't the case at prior centres). We feel extremely lucky to have been a part of this community, getting to know the other children, parents and staff at many social events and at drop off and pick up. The 4 year old kinder excursion program was a huge hit, along with lots of fantastic play based learning opportunities every day at the centre. The centre did a fantastic job of preparing my daughter for prep and helping her become a confident and passionate learning. She's also learnt about community, friendships and how to self regulate her emotions. Couldn't recommend it more highly.
Our two children love ECC! They run in each morning with glee and are happily playing when we collect them in the evenings. I love that it’s a big old house with character, which makes it much more homely than the brand new centres I’ve seen that can be a bit generic and soulless. The staff care about the kids and offer a great balance between free play and carefully throughly through educational activities. We’ll be sad to leave this place!
Amazing asset to the community!

A home away from home. This gorgeous community run centre is the perfect place for my two little munchkins. It’s a small centre that makes you feel like part of the family. My kids love everything about this centre. I highly recommend.

We have been at this centre for over a year now. I did lots of research on which centre we send our children to and this was the one we settled on. Each room is so small, not like those centres with 22 babies in one room! My eldest (doing kindy) is one of 13 and my youngest is one of 8. The staff are so special. They tell me such funny stories of what my littlies got up to each day. And they have helped us work through some challenging behaviours. They are such a great resource. Not a new or fancy centre; just wholesome, real and warm.
