Chinese Australian Early Childhood Centre 50 Ainsworth Street, Mawson, Australian Capital Territory 2607

"An amazing place offers love, care and lots of learning opportunities. They have followed strictly with the hygiene policy and the centre is always clean. The staff are friendly and patient to the family and children. I love sending my children there seeing them learn lots of things, especially Mandarin."

"Our oldest child has been attending for almost 3 years, and our youngest has just started recently. It's a great centre, with hard working, dedicated staff. Particularly impressed with the warmth shown to my 1yo by the staff in the infants room in the last few weeks - has made settling in a lot easier. Communication is good, staff turnover low, reasonable fees and the kids learn Mandarin to boot. The staff were really supportive and helpful with toilet training (their advice worked really well!) and somehow managed to get my kids napping better than at home. Love receiving the daily updates and photos of what the kids have been doing."

"Hidden gem in Canberra! It is worth our half an hour drive everyday. Our son has attended this centre since 10 months old and build great relationships with the educators and his friends. We saw a huge improvement with his routine, eating and sleeping since he attend this centre. The staff always attentive, caring and professional. Educators always passionate, hard working and enjoying their time with children. I am so happy everyday to see how they smile to greet the children with such a happy positive place to be. Staff turnover is very low and they have many years of experience as you can see from their interaction and great activity programs for child's developments. They are very calm and great in handling unsettle children. The centre is very clean and organise. Communication with them is also very easy. My son now is 2 and can speak better Mandarin than us. He is very secure and has grown so well. Can't thank you enough for CAECC team. Thank you for all your hard work and for my son to be part of your family."

"My daughter has attended for 4 years, since she was only one year old. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the small centre provides a real sense of family and community. My daughter has learned to appreciate and celebrate other people and cultures, to communicate and help others and some valuable language skills."

"Our daughter has now been attending in the infant/toddler room for more than a year and we *love* CAECC. We originally sent her specifically for all of the advantages of immersion in a bilingual environment at such a young age (and such a valuable and important language as mandarin!). What we didn't expect was all the love, structure, care and attention from Zilla, Leslie, Jenny and all the incredible educators at the centre. Furthermore they provide me with piece of mind and reassurance virtually daily by posting photos, videos and descriptions of their days using the storypark app, which to receive the notification of is the highlight of my busy life. They are so busy with amazing activities every day! We are very grateful to the hard-working and exceptionally caring staff and educators at the centre and gosh we're going to miss everyone when she has to move on."
