As a working mum, it was incredibly important to me to find a childcare that filled me with confidence when leaving my daughter in their care. She has been with the Y at Pakenham since six months old, and it has been almost a year now; I couldn't recommend the Y enough. Not only are the staff across the whole center amazing with the kids, they genuinely care about your whole family unit.

We knew this place would give us the opportunity to practise what we do best – care, patience, and compassion – and that is how Twinklekids Early Learning Centre came to life.

Each of these roles has shaped my professional journey and deepened my commitment to delivering high-quality care and education for all children. Music education has been shown to enhance brain development, especially in language and math skills. At ELJ, our music program helps children develop rhythm, coordination, and self-expression through interactive musical activities. These resources help reinforce learning themes, encourage parent involvement, and create meaningful opportunities for connection at home.

Indoors, we have interactive whiteboards, an inside climbing fort, and open-plan spaces. We have a long-standing team of educators and teachers, with the longest being with us for over 20 years.
And educators are so supportative along with others staff. Highly recommened to the young kids parents or parents to be. My family had a wonderful experience with Creative Garden pakenham. My daughters had been going there since they were 2.5 years and 6 months old. Tanya and Goldie are very professional and took care of our daughters needs with exceptional care. The most important thing for me as a parent is to see my child smiling both on drop off and pick up times.
