Welcome to Mother Duck Child Care Gaythorne

We provide rich educational programs for children and are committed to providing a support network for busy working families. Our Gaythorne child care centre acts as an extension of the home. We maintain ongoing links within the community through our centre programs. Our literacy-enriched program is enhanced with the support of the local library and our local school connections ensure that children in our Kindergarten program transition successfully into their preparatory year.

Centre Features

  • Our qualified Chef Adam works five days and prepares all the centre meals. A family man himself, Adam feels very strongly about getting the children involved in the kitchen and building a positive relationship with food.

  • Our large open studios allow for uninterrupted play and exploration to enhance learning. These spaces provide children with the opportunity to discover their interests while providing a degree of challenge.

  • We have a partnership with the Mitchelton library who will come and hold story time with the children once a month.

What Other Parents Have to Say

When you walk through the doors the atmosphere is very warm and inviting and the staff are kind, thoughtful, energetic and have genuine care and respect for the children.
As a first time mum, I was very nervous at the thought of leaving my one-year-old daughter in child care. After much debate we decided on Mother Duck Gaythorne as it had a homely feel, the staff were warm, friendly and professional.
Our daughter loves her teachers and the centre is always looking for ways to improve their care and service. We cannot recommend the centre highly enough.
