Great early learning centres have a home-away-from-home vibe, and although this is comforting for young children, parents also benefit from a childcare environment that feels warm and welcoming.  

So, let us introduce you to the Green Leaves Early Learning Parents Lounge. 

Every Green Leaves centre in Australia has a dedicated Parents Lounge, and this is a place where you can relax, recharge and reward yourself before racing into the rest of the day.  

The Parents Lounge is a great circuit-breaker when you’re juggling work, parenting and everything else. 

And if you’re currently searching for childcare, then here are three reasons why you’ll be sold on Green Leaves’ lovely Lounge! 

1. The Parents Lounge gives you a moment (or longer) to yourself.  

Once you’ve dropped off your little learner, you can retreat to this sanctuary-like space to rest your mind and body for a while.  

You’re free to answer emails, take calls or have your very own Zen moment, and because the Parents Lounge is open all day, you can pop in for a reset before picking up your pre-schooler.  

2. The Parents Lounge comes with free barista-made coffee and Chef-baked treats.  

There’s a selection of fresh fruit to give you a healthy boost, but first, you’ll probably make a beeline for the expertly-crafted coffee and baked treats, which are made fresh each morning by the centre Chefs. 

You can take your time enjoying these complimentary goodies in the comfy Lounge, but if you need to keep moving, then Green Leaves also offers a takeaway option. 

Plenty of parents order-to-go, and Roxana, a mum from Green Leaves Cannon Hill says, ‘The fact that you can get a barista coffee and delicious baked food for the road is such a lovely added extra that helps to put a smile on parents’ faces in the mornings.’  

3. The Parents Lounge provides an opportunity to connect and engage.  

You can learn a lot from your childcare community as you catch-up with centre team members, and meet and socialise with parents who are at a similar life stage as you. 

Charlotte, a mum from Green Leaves Carindale says, ‘Becoming a first-time parent, I truly appreciated the opportunity to relate to, and receive support from, other new parents, which helped me juggle my life and career transition.’  

The Parents Lounge is also great for special events; and Kelli, an educator at Green Leaves Carindale explains that, ‘The Parents Lounge is a welcoming and vibrant space also designed for families to connect during tours, orientation sessions, and information events. It fosters collaboration, communication, and a true sense of community.’   

All in all, the Parents Lounge is a huge positive for each Green Leaves family, and you’re very welcome to experience this space for yourself.  

The KindiCare App or kindicare.com makes it easy to book a tour at your local Green Leaves Early Learning, and this childcare provider definitely comes recommended.  

Georgia, a mum from Green Leaves Wanneroo says, ‘Being greeted with barista-made coffee and freshly prepared snacks is a thoughtful and appreciated gesture. It shows how much Green Leaves values both the children and their families.’ 

So, if you’re searching for comfort, connection and a moment of calm, consider Green Leaves Early Learning and their oh-so-special Parents Lounge!
