I cannot recommend Oaktree Kindergarten highly enough. From the moment my daughter, Felicity, started here, the teachers have gone above and beyond in creating a safe, loving, and inspiring environment. They are not only highly professional and experienced but also genuinely warm, patient, and attentive to each child’s individual needs.

What stands out most is how incredibly supportive and nurturing the teachers are. They truly see Felicity as a whole person — encouraging her confidence, creativity, independence, and social skills. Whenever I drop her off, I feel reassured knowing she is surrounded by such dedicated and caring educators.

The activities are also exceptional. From hands-on science experiments (like making “dinosaur eggs” fizz open with hidden surprises inside) to imaginative play, music, art, and storytelling, every day is filled with rich opportunities for learning and discovery. I’ve seen Felicity grow in confidence, curiosity, and joy since joining Oaktree, and she now comes home excited to share what she’s learned.

It is the greatest feeling as a parent to see my daughter run to her teachers with unconditional hugs and to know that she has a special connection with each and every one of them. That bond is priceless, and it speaks volumes about the heart this team puts into their work.

A special thank you to Jane, Lucy, Jenny, Vanessa, Amy, and Natalie — you are an incredible team, and I am deeply grateful for the love and dedication you show every single day.

If you’re looking for a kindergarten that is more than just a childcare centre — a place where your child will be truly valued, guided, and inspired — Oaktree Kindergarten is the best choice you could make.

My daughter goes to Oaktree and absolutely loves it. Such a beautiful environment- inside and out. The outside is like an oasis with beautiful trees and gardens. It is so spacious. The teachers are so nurturing, friendly and passionate.  You feel a sense of belonging as soon as you walk in. Oaktree is like a second home. All teachers are fully qualified and first aid trained which as a parent is very comforting. She learns so much and love learning from her and the teachers too. I have learnt so much about cultural celebrations and sustainability!
