Early childhood development is not only about learning, but also about creating an environment where every child feels confident and comfortable. Bayside Early Learning Centre and Kindergarten in Mentone places special emphasis on an individual approach, family involvement, and building harmonious relationships between children and teachers. The atmosphere of home comfort and care helps children unlock their potential and learn to perceive the world with interest and joy.
However, modern parents are increasingly interested not only in parenting issues, but also in the opportunities for recreation and entertainment offered by the digital space. For example, many discuss a selection of the best sites for online games, such as, which provides ratings and advice for those who want to have fun and gain new experiences. Such content is of interest to adults who are looking for a balance between family responsibilities and personal leisure.
In conclusion, it can be said that both childcare and the choice of quality entertainment are based on the same principle: the importance of trust and safety. At Bayside Early Learning Centre and Kindergarten, trust is built through care and attention to each child, while in the world of online entertainment, honest choices and reliable platforms are valued. This parallel view reminds us that harmony is achieved when caring for the future is combined with the ability to find joy in the present.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Words really don't do justice to the amazing work and care that Negar and her incredible educators show our little one each and every day. After doing a number of centre tours, we left BELC knowing that this was where we wanted our toddler to go - it felt like a family and it truly is! We couldn't be happier and feel so happy and confident waving goodbye to our little one each day, excited to see what activities and memories she will make!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We entrusted Bayside Early Learning with our youngest in the babies room through to kindergarten. The staff and management are kind and caring. The onsite cook makes amazing lunches - that made me jealous of my little one. I recommend Bayside Early Learning Centre for parents in the Mentone-Cheltenham area.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our experience with Bayside Early Learning Centre’s Butterfly Room has been fantastic! My children absolutely love attending the pre-kindergarten and kindergarten programs. They eagerly look forward to each day, and it’s clear they have a strong bond with the wonderful staff. The space is welcoming and thoughtfully designed, making it a perfect environment for early learning and growth. I’m incredibly grateful for the nurturing and stimulating atmosphere the staff provides. Highly recommend this centre for anyone looking for a warm, engaging, and supportive early learning experience!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I couldn't speak more highly of Bayside Early Learing Centre. My twin girls began care at Bayside almost 18 months ago and have had an amazing experience. Now a part of the Butterfly room, Negar and her professional team have created a very nurturing, warm and loving environment. My girls have formed strong and trusting relationships with their educators and are always excited and engaged with the learning activities organised. They spend the evening sharing and using the knowledge and experience they've gained and retelling stories about their fun day with their friends! From the first day we arrived the girls have been cared for with their individual needs and interests considered in all they do. When I leave my children at Bayside each morning I feel totally at ease that they are cared for and in great hands.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gosh, I don’t even know where to start.. If I could give BELC ten stars, I would. From the minute we walked in the door and met Negar, we knew that BELC was the right centre for us. All the staff go above and beyond for the kids, and you can tell they truly love and have a passion for the work they do! Our little one absolutely loved his time at the centre and formed some really beautiful relationships with both his educators and peers. Because the centre is small and kept very clean, we also noticed a big drop in sickness compared to our little one’s previous daycare. Negar and the team have created something truly special, a real community, and if it wasn’t for the fact that we’re moving overseas, we would’ve attended BELC for years to come. We will miss them all dearly and wish them all the best!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hand on heart, I recommend Bayside ELC. Negar, John and their team are a well oiled machine who work so well together to ensure a safe, caring and fun 🤩 learning environment for all children in their care. Love the app, so informative to see how my child’s day has been. Big shoutout for the extra mile the team go for theme days and special celebrations throughout the year. Keep keeping on with the excellent job you do. 5 stars! Thank you all.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This centre is AMAZING! we loved starting our daughters childcare here and would highly recommend it. Great staff and centre.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My daughter and son have been attending Bayside ELC for nearly a year and I can not speak more highly of it. John and Negar have created such a wonderful centre and team of educators, who really prioritise the wellbeing of the children. Negar is always smiling and has treated my children like her own. We have been to a few daycares and this one is a clear standoutTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely brilliant! My son has attended Bayside ELC for going on a year. Our third centre since he has been in care and by far the best! Negar and John lead a wonderful team of dedicated educators and go above and beyond for both the children and their parents. My son has come a very long way in a short time with his learning and emotional well-being. It's like dropping him off to family every morning. He is learning not just the basics of numbers, words and colours but also valuable life skills. The attention paid to the individual child's interests and learning capacity, and continuing to encourage them is nothing I have experienced in any other centre. So appreciative of the dedication and handwork of the entire team. Thank you!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have found BELC to be excellent. Although our toddler has only been there a short time, the care he has received has been so great, he was instantly comfortable at the centre and with all the staff. Would definitely recommend. Kat.
