Hands down the best centre in the Port Macquarie area.Our family has had an incredibly positive experience since our son started his early childhood education at Smartland Port Macquarie.We were lucky enough to be one of the first families to attend the daycare centre when it opened. Our son was just 6 months old at that time.I can honestly say that every staff member and educator at Smartland Port Macquarie are amazing, genuine, kind, talented people.Everyone knows my sons name regardless of whether he has been in their class. They are far more than our daycare centre, they are family!My son has been given the most amazing start to life thanks to you all. You have been an integral part of his development and I am so grateful.

We recently moved to Smartland and it has truly been the best thing we have done.Every person who works at Smartland is kind, caring, inclusive and happy.We are always met with smiles and recounts of what our child did during the day, even from staff members who have seen him in passing.His specific interests are not only met, but encouraged and built upon.Our son has a physical disability and each and every staff member has been accommodating and genuinely interested to learn about what makes him, him and how they can best support him through his time there.The difference in our son since moving to Smartland is astronomical, his confidence has sky rocketed.He adores attending, it's no longer a fight, he’s formed soild friendships and comes home with so many stories.Thank you Smartland for going above and beyond, everyday!

A beautiful architecturally designed and built facility that caters for all ages.Earthy, natural finishes compliment the building at every turn.The custom playground is amazing and the education rooms make learning interactive and fun.With highly trained educators that welcome and interact with children throughout the day this centre is highly recommended.

As a childcare educator myself I was very picky about where I wanted to put my son into daycare. From the minute I walked in i felt this was the place for him. The staff have been so welcoming and amazing. You can tell the chef puts alot of love into her work and the room leader Sasha in the Shelly's room has been nothing short of fantastic along with the other girls. My Son is always so excited to go to school. 10/10 would recommend

Smartland Port Macquarie is a beautiful, welcoming, home-away-home for babies and children. The facilities are brand new and state of the art. All staff are attentive and compassionate to the babies, children, and parent’s needs, including those with allergies and special considerations. Couldn’t recommend them more highly.
