What The Parents Say
What the parents say
I have a 3 year old and a 1 year old at Kool Kidz Mill Park, I've always found them to be very professional but feels like a 2nd family to my kids. My 3 year old is always happy to go, tells me of the daily activities, loves her educators and friends. I feel very confident about leaving my kids here and know they are well taken care of. Highly recommended!!
Natacha - parent
We are extremely lucky to have found such a fantastic childcare to enrol our son. The educators that have been assisting with my son are terrific. They are kind, compassionate and are helping him learn so much. The food served to the children is of excellent quality. Nicole and all the employees at Kool Kidz Mill Park are all friendly and helpful.
Glenda - parent
We have had our children in day care for the better part of the last 11 years, we appreciate the stability, care and consistency of Kool Kidz Mill Park. The centre is clean and always calm and they really do foster an environment that allows our little guy to thrive and grow. Most importantly our son looks forward to childcare every week and as a working parent we are very fortunate to have found a centre that genuinely cares about the kids and their education. We highly recommend Kool Kidz Mill Park.

Couldn't say a bad word about the centre or director Nicole. Have had a previous bad experience with another centre and Kool Kidz is fantastic. Wouldn't trust anyone else with my kids.

Amazing childcare with very friendly educators and staff. My son (just turned two) took a while to settle when he first started late last year (I also struggled a little as he had never spent much time away from me). The educators where great at keeping me in the loop and constantly updated me on his progress. He now really enjoys going and learns so much. He’s always coming home with new words, songs and quirks.
Response from the owner 17 Mar 2022
Thankyou for your feedback Sandy. Our team of permanent educators really do go above and beyond to ensure the children settle and also you as a parent feels comfortable. Thanks again.

I recently completed a 15 days placement at Kool Kidz Millpark being an RMIT student. I firmly believe that acknowledgement should be given where its due; therefore I will not shy away from it. Being one of the male candidates working in the centre, amidst of this pandemic; I was well supported and respected by the staff members of this centre. Especially, loved the positive energy and guidance provided by my mentor Lara Capponi. It was a pleasure to work under her guidance who has a great attention to detail. Her constant feedback and support motivated me to bring out my best efforts at work. Inspite of being super busy with a lot of responsibilities and daily planning; she provided me with ample feedback to fine tune my skills at every department, be it communicating with the parents, adhering to centre policies, be better at understanding children's interests within a play based curiculum and more. As a new professional in the field, my goal is always to try and bring happiness in the faces of the children and everyone around me, while growing their interests for a lifelong learning. The environment at this centre allowed me fully to concentrate on that. I can certainly say children are getting the best to unleash their potential in the K2 room. May GOD bless the team working at this centre. Hopefully, I can carry on from the comprehensive learning provided within this centre; for bigger and better things within my professional career.
Response from the owner 12 Nov 2020
Thanks so much for your feedback. We wish you the very best for your career.
