What Other Parents Have to Say
Our little girl has attended other centres and we have found the level of care at Mother Duck far exceeds any others. You can tell that the Educators have a genuine affection for the children they have in their rooms.
I couldn’t be more thankful to the Mother Duck team for helping build confidence in my boys.
All of the staff at Mother Duck have been amazing with my son, Alex. He was so warmly welcomed and made to feel at home from day one. We love Mother Duck and are proud to be part of the family.
