Mentone Park Child Care and Preschool

This daycare is the hidden gem of Cheltenham and Mentone (even Parkdale/Mordialloc if near Warren Rd). We have been attending since early 2025 in the kinder room and we are so impressed with the care and development our child has received. The carer's foster the kids independence - from having a daily "helper" set the table and "count" the children attending lunch - to the many incursions they run (weekly music or sport lessons or term specific such as a BeeKeeper) to small excursions out in the local community. This daycare is exceptional. It's small in enrolment size but I would say bigger playspace than some of the local daycares. The children are challenged with age appropriate development and I'm seeing my little one practising letters to road safety. Highly recommend you tour and see if it's the right fit for your family.
