We feel incredibly lucky to have found Gardner Road Kindergarten for our boy. His journey hasnβt always been straightforward β he can be quite complex, with moments of anxiety and hesitation in social settings β but the love, patience, and understanding from every teacher made all the difference. From the very beginning, the team created a warm and secure space where our boy could feel safe and seen. We remember how he would quietly observe from the side, and how the teachers never rushed him β instead, they gently encouraged him in his own time. Their calm, consistent support helped him gain confidence, slowly open up, and start sharing his wonderful ideas and creativity. Looking back, we are so grateful for the care and attention given to every small milestone. The way the team worked together, always with kindness and professionalism, gave us so much reassurance as parents. Thank you for making this past year such a meaningful chapter in our boyβs life β we will always hold these memories close and be thankful for everything youβve done. Timothy Di & Elva Li

Absolutely a special time for my daughter! The school is meaningfully organized and exudes a warm, positive and inviting space. My girl was so happy there. She also learned a great deal of life skills as she grew her confidence in celebrating life with a community. I also found the graceful execution of the 'Big Peoples' program which helps transition the kids to primary school all the way to the last day's graduation ceremony, to be an excellent tradition unique to this kindy. When it was time to graduate my daughter was ready and thrilled for her graduation. She said she was a little bit sad to say goodbye to her kindy, but she's a big person now, she wants to go to the big kids' school. :)

I feel extremely grateful that my three kids were able to attend such a beautiful kindergarten. The teachers are all lovely, so kind and caring, and genuinely love teaching and looking after your child. The environment is safe, healthy and clean. The semi structure is invaluable. They set your child up so well for the big move to school. Thank you Gardner Road Kindergarten, we really do miss you β€οΈ

This was the first and only Kindergarten we looked at for our oldest boy. We instantly felt welcomed by all the amazing teachers who helped our son settle in quickly. Their get ready for school programme has proved outstanding as our son transitioned seamlessly into school life. The entire team at Gardner Road are empathetic, fair and show a great love and passion for what they do. There is a strong sense of community within the Kindy too. We cannot wait for our two little ones to turn 3 so they can attend Gardner Road too.

I honestly donβt think you could find a Kindergarten better than Gardner Road. The teachers are kind, caring and genuinely love looking after and nurturing our children. The structure of the day prepares them for school and they have created an environment which is welcoming and just βfeels rightβ from the moment you walk in.

This place is wonderful. The staff are passionate and are actively engaged in tasks and activities. They are kind, warm and welcoming and know their students so well. They foster their learners in their interests, independence and ready for school needs. My daughter loved turning up to kindy each day to see what the teachers had set up and where her learning would take her that day. We absolutely loved our time here and we still often talk about the fun times we shared at GRK.

As soon as I stepped into Gardner Road Kindergarten I knew it would be the perfect environment for my son. On his first day I was a bit apprehensive dropping him off (expecting tears) however he marched straight into the carpentry shed, picked up some equipment and could barely manage a 'goodbye' to mum - he has never looked back! The teachers at Gardner Road are A1 and go the extra mile. They are kind, caring and spend a lot of one-on-one time with the children helping them learn new skills and gain an appreciation for everything from art to nature and science, and beyond. I can't speak highly enough of Gardner Road, we feel so fortunate to have found it.

Two of my children have attended Gardner Road Kindergarten (with another one still to go) and they (and I) absolutely loved their time there. The staff are so welcoming and friendly, you instantly feel at ease leaving your children in their care. They provide unique and creative tasks/ activities for the children to do each day, often giving each child one-on-one attention to help them complete it. Once starting school, teachers have always mentioned how much more prepared and ready for school the children are that have attended Gardner Road. So much love for this place!

Our daughter has been attending Gardner Rd Kindergarten since she was three, and we have nothing but good things to say! The staff are so caring and kind (with a very low turnover) and they really prepare the children for school with a structure to the day and a focus on teaching independence . The teachers go above and beyond!
