Common questions

What hours does kindergarten run?
Kindergarten is 8:30am to 2:45pm. Before school care starts at 6:30am and after school care runs until 6:00pm.
Does it help with school transition?
Yes. The kindergarten program includes visits to St Joseph's College grounds so children become familiar with the school before moving to prep years.

Parents consistently report their children develop quickly and form strong bonds with educators who genuinely care for them as individuals. The centre is clean and well-organised, management communicates openly, and families feel supported through transitions and settling-in periods. One reviewer had a poor tour experience citing staff inattentiveness and a hygiene incident with a chef, though the centre later apologised.
