My daughter recently graduated from CFK. Her time at the centre was most enjoyable as she created special friendships with her peers filled with endless days of fun activities and creative educational tools provided by the dedicated staff. Her strengths were encouraged and her needs were always supported. CFK has a committed team providing a high quality service in Early Childhood Education and Care. A place my child will always remember with joyful memories.

I was recommended care for kindies by a close friend, who has sent all her 3 children to care for kindies. My toddler is in Seymour care for kindies in Belfield. He loves it. They have a fantastic diverse learning program, incredible activities, freshly cooked healthy meals, a wonderful outdoor play area and most of all caring and consistent staff. I would happily recommend Seymour to any parent looking for child care in the area. Well done miss Sylvia and team!
