Bienvenue
A little home for little explorers.
Small groups of four, gardens made for climbing and wondering, and twenty years of loving care. Mount Eliza Family Daycare is where children aged one to four come to play, discover and grow, with a little French sparkle along the way.

Why families choose us
Care that feels like home, with room to wonder
Your child is never one of a crowd here. In a calm, loving home they are known, encouraged and celebrated every single day.
Small groups of four
With only four children, Cindy knows each one's moods, favourites and milestones. Every child is seen, heard and cuddled when they need it.
Ages one to four
A gentle, happy mix of toddlers and pre-schoolers who learn from each other, from first steps and first words to getting ready for kinder.
Full of discovery
Every week is packed with activities, crafts, excursions and little discoveries, so no two days feel the same and curiosity never runs out.
Un peu de français
Cindy is French Australian, and from time to time she shares French songs and first words, a lovely little gift of a second language.
A week with Cindy
Every week is an adventure
Days at Mount Eliza Family Daycare are never idle. There is always something to make, find, sing or celebrate.
Cindy is French Australian, so French songs, rhymes and first words find their way into the week from time to time. Children soak it up without even noticing.
Inside the house
A calm, natural space made for small hands
A warm, uncluttered room of natural timber, woven baskets and green plants, with a place for everything and everyone.
