Why Choose Us?

Locally Family Owned and Operated

Most child care centres today are owned by corporate entities that are listed on the stock exchange and only see your child as a means to increase the value of their shareholdings.

Discovery Tree, on the other hand, is 100% locally family owned and operated, so the people that own the centre are also the people working in the centre, working directly with families and children, getting to know each and every one at a personal level. Additionally, we constantly strive to give back and support the local community by providing the very best child care assistance to not only Clayton, but also to the surrounding suburbs such as Keysborough, Dingley, Clayton South, Clarinda, Oakleigh South and Springvale, extending throughout the South Eastern Melbourne area.

Dedicated Educational Leader

The role of the Educational Leader is to provide mentoring, support and guidance to the teaching team and educators within the service. This role is mandated by the Department of Education. At Discovery Tree, our Educational Leader works hard to build capacity across the service through observing, collaborating, reporting, planning, and inspiring. They are dedicated to this role and ensure enhanced programming and practice across the setting.

The rooms have been designed to promote effective supervision of children at all times.
