Happy Times Child Care & Early Learning Centre
About the Business
Welcome to Happy Times Child Care & Early Learning Centre Mentone, a fully funded Long Day Care Centre located in the South East Suburbs of Melbourne. Our centre is conveniently situated just 20 kilometres from the CBD, making it easily accessible for families in the area.
At Happy Times, we provide a natural and warm environment for children to learn, grow, and develop. Our purpose-built facility has been designed to foster children's imaginations and engage their senses through the use of natural and raw materials. We believe in the power of play and strive to create aesthetically pleasing learning environments that provoke wonder and intrigue in their daily experiences.
Our curriculum is based on the 'Early Years Learning Framework' and is supported by the philosophy of our dedicated educators. We believe that children learn best through play, and as such, our curriculum focuses on creating engaging and stimulating activities that promote learning and development.
One of our key priorities is ensuring that children receive nutritious meals throughout the day. With a full-time cook on premises, we provide a nutritionally balanced menu of fresh meals including breakfast, morning tea, lunch, 2nd course, afternoon tea, and late snack.
We take pride in our team of educators and teachers who are not only qualified but also possess a professional and caring disposition towards children. Our approach to programming considers each child as an individual, using individual profiles to proactively foster an open and inclusive learning environment.
At Happy Times Child Care & Early Learning Centre, we understand the needs of families and strive to provide flexible services to meet those needs. We are committed to providing the best care for your child, ensuring their safety, happiness, and development.
We also acknowledge and respect the Traditional Owners of country throughout Australia and recognize their ongoing connection to the land, waters, and culture. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present, and emerging.

Reviews
"My daughter has attended Happy Times since she was 10 months old and it's been a fantastic couple of years so far. Jin and the rest of the team have been phenomenal. The centre is really clean and well kept, the carers have been quite constant throughout her time there which makes it so much easier for her to be comfortable. The carers share pictures almost daily of the day's activities via the centre's app so we're able to re-live them and chat about her day during the evenings. Would definitely recommend Happy Times if you're looking for a CC centre."
"The staff at Happy times are genuinely kind and caring! My son started attending here since he was 12 months old (he's nearly 3yo now) and it's become his second home. He especially loves doing all the arts and crafts activities and science experiments!"
"Our child has been attending this centre since 18 months old and we can’t fault it. The staff are all lovely and Jin takes time to get to know us as a family and really goes above and beyond. They are caring education professionals and we hope that never changes. Our child always seems to eat a lot of the food, so it must be good. They also celebrate lots of different holidays with activities for the kids and there is good diversity at the centre. Overall, very happy with our decision to go with a smaller centre with a more personal feel."
"Happytimes has not been our centre but our second home for the past 2 years. We started childcare with our 10 month old and and she has grown into a beautiful toddler with the help of the centre. We loved the staff and the interaction helping the kids. The app was always up to date and the photos and learnings were amazing. Would highly recommend this as a centre and were sad to leave as we have moved over the other side of the city."
"My daughter attends Happy Times Childcare and loves the centre and staff! The Staff are really caring and fun, they really take the time to get to know the children and families. Happy Times provide a very high level of quality care. My daughter always looks forward to attending at the centre and has made many friends. She really enjoys going there and is happy and engaged in the variety of activities and experiences that are on offer daily. The centre also offers an amazing menu which is fresh and nutritious! :)"
