My daughter absolutely loved her two years at Koala Playschool and thrived in the nurturing and stimulating environment created by the fantastic teachers. Prior to coming to Koalas we had her in daycare, which didn’t seem to suit her as well. In particular, her happiness and social skills improved at Koalas. And as parents we found that Koalas provided a small community, of which we could become a part. I highly recommend Koala Playschool to any family with young children.
