What Parents Say
Jessica Van Dyk
We love Dooral! The teachers are knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in each child’s development. Our daughter has blossomed in their care, developing essential skills and friendships. The facility is clean, well-organised, and safe. Communication is excellent, keeping us informed about daily activities and milestones. We appreciate the variety of activities, including arts, music, and outdoor play. Thank your Dooral for always providing a great environment for our 2 year old (who has attended since a baby).

It was a huge decision as to where to send our Daughter, and after viewing several centres in the area, we knew immediately Dooral was the right one. The teachers are amazing and they fully engage with the children at all times, ensuring that their development and care is the priority. Our daughter has learnt so many great skills during her time at Dooral and I always know she’s in the best hands. The facilities and equipment are clean and modern and encourage learning and development at all ages. I can’t recommend this centre highly enough!

Dooral Early Learning Centre is a wonderful place of learning, fun and adventure. I was worried to send my son off to daycare when I had to return to work as I of course was concerned that he wouldn’t be nurtured and appreciated as much as at home.. well never fear, at Dooral it is the complete opposite! The staff are so caring, professional and take genuine interest in the life of the kids. They all are so involved in my son’s development and keep me constantly updated with progress and newly learnt skills, it is such a joy for a parent when they have to be away from their child. I could not recommend Dooral any higher.. It truely is the best second home for my son!

Couldn’t recommend Kenthust Dooral ELC higher. A beautiful, welcoming community that has looked after our little girl and helped her blossom so much over the past year. Thank you to Silvia and the team for their ongoing dedication and support for our little ones.

Words can not explain when your child is excited to get ready and get to the car because they know they are coming to Dooral!! We have started attending here a few weeks now and our nonverbal child hurries us to get him to Dooral and doesn’t want to leave at pick up. I have to chase him in the centre and carry him to the car as he doesn’t want to leave even though he has been there all day. This just shows amazing staff and amazing environment. The staff are so in-tuned with the children, patient, cheerful and work really hard to support our boy. Thank you Dooral staff for making our boy excited to be social and learning each Dooral day.

This daycare made the transition for my toddler starting daycare for the first time so much easier. The educators are kind, nurturing, and all mums themselves- not super young. Meals and nappies are included, which makes life so much easier. The centre is surrounded by beautiful Kenthurst gardens and nature, with plenty of room for kids to run around. There’s also not as much sickness here compared to the bigger daycares. Highly recommend!
