What we provide
Meet our Centre Manager
Simone Clinch
Having worked in childhood education since 2005, I'm passionate about child safety and creating an environment where children feel safe, secure and supported.Children learn best in a calm, welcoming environment that they feel connected to. They also learn best through play, and it's our role as educators to support this.
As a parent, I also know first-hand the difficulties that families face on a day to day basis. It takes a village to raise children and I believe that we, as early childhood educators, form part of that village for families.
Our team of educators can speak a range of languages including English, Bengali, Hindi, Nepalese and Spanish.

What our families say about us
Our daughter has attended Happy Days ELC Macarthur Square for almost 4 years and this year she has started kindergarten. Her stay in the centre really helped her a lot in her transition to the big school.Maria
The staff at Happy Days Macarthur Square are so friendly, understanding and so easy to deal with. They continue to keep me update on my child's progress and notify me if there are any concerns which shows me they really care. Would definitely recommend Happy Days Macarthur Square if any parent requires daycare.George
My children have been attending here for a few years now and we couldn’t be happier with the care and support we have received. They always come home very happy and chatty about their day which we love!EZ
