Collard Family Kindergarten

We honestly couldn’t be happier with our experience at Collards so far. We were extremely nervous about sending our daughter at first, as for the first three years of her life she had only really been cared for by us and her grandparents. It was such a huge transition for our family, but from the very beginning the team made us feel safe, supported, and reassured that she was in the best hands. One of the things we loved most was knowing the kindergarten is family run, and that their own children attend too. It gave us so much confidence knowing they create the same environment for their own families that they do for ours. All of the carers are incredibly warm, friendly, and genuinely caring. Our daughter immediately formed such beautiful bonds with them and absolutely adores every single one. It’s so comforting dropping her off each day knowing she feels happy, loved, and excited to be there. The communication and updates we receive are amazing and really help us feel connected to her days and learning journey. We also love all the additional extracurricular opportunities available, like gymnastics and library visits, which have been such a fantastic addition to her experience. The learning opportunities they create for the children are incredible. We are constantly amazed by the new things our daughter comes home talking about and learning. At the moment they are learning about outer space, and it has been so beautiful seeing her curiosity and excitement grow. We also really appreciate how involved they encourage families and grandparents to be, through special events like Mother’s Day, Grandparents Day, and other celebrations throughout the year. It truly feels like a community, not just a kindergarten. We are so grateful we chose this kindergarten and couldn’t recommend it more highly to other families.
