If I could give this could give Dalton road ELC a 0 I would. I would recommend, you look elsewhere for you child's care needs. There are so many good centres on the Sunshine coast but this is not one of them. The nationally quality standard is floored. Follow your own instinct, I believe most of the reviews are fake after what our terrible experience with this ELC.

We love Dalton Drive Daycare, all the educators are lovely and friendly. They have made a huge effort to make our 1year old at home and welcoming us in!
Our daughter loves going in everyday, she has so much fun and we feel like we don't miss out on much as the ladies give us personalised updates daily and update us on Story park. I feel comfortable leaving her there knowing she is in safe hands!

Thank you so much to everyone at Dalton Drive Early Learning Centre. All the staff are very helpful, kind and Listens to your requests! I can not thank them enough. My little boy loves his educators and the front desk staff Bec and Sarah. He runs to them to cuddle when I drop him off. We love getting daily updates and photos! I highly recommend this daycare to everyone!

I love these guys! My child had been with them since he was 9 months old and he goes to school in 6 months time... The team have always been super friendly, there have rarely been problems, and if I have something to report, it gets actioned. Also awesome that food is provided and my wee fella had always enjoyed it. 😆
