She was happy there, the teachers really followed the children’s interests. It was a really nice feeling walking in and knowing that your daughter would have had a day full of experiences and fun. They also really acknowledged and supported her culture when possible also ### null review (5/5) We had a wonderful experience with Imagine That! Preschool. After visiting many daycare centres and initially enrolling elsewhere, we eventually made the decision to switch - and it was by far the best decision we could have made. Out of all the centres we visited, Imagine That! truly stood out. Both our boys attended, starting in the infant room and moving through to the toddler and preschool rooms. We were part of the centre for nearly four years, and throughout that time, the staff were consistently warm, professional, and genuinely invested in our children’s wellbeing. They took the time to really get to know our boys as individuals and to build relationships with us as a family. The communication with families was excellent. And whether we were navigating tricky drop-offs, a new sibling, or a house move, the team was always supportive, thoughtful, and responsive. Any concerns or questions we raised were handled with care and respect, which really made us feel heard and valued. The centre itself is a great size, with impressive teacher-child ratios that allow for lots of one-on-one attention. One of the things we appreciated most was how every staff member knew all the children and families. It’s a very connected and nurturing environment. The teachers do a fantastic job of following each child’s interests and supporting their unique strengths. We are so grateful for our time at Imagine That! and wholeheartedly recommend it to any family looking for a high-quality early childhood centre where children are truly seen, supported, and celebrated. Thank you Anna and the amazing team for having been such a valuable part of our village. ### null review (5/5) Anna and the team are absolutely amazing. My daughter is about to turn 5, and I am so happy I moved her to Imagine That! She’s been there for almost a year and a half, and she has absolutely thrived. The teachers take so much time to learn each and every child. They treat them with respect, care and love. They also have such a fabulous environment that is full with great resources and opportunities to learn and explore. My daughter is always so excited to tell me what she’s learnt or what she’s working on. Or the conversations she’s had with her teachers. I also love that they’re very family oriented and have really lovely gatherings where families get to be involved.
