We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better kindergarten experience for our child. The team at PRK under Leanne’s leadership have established a beautiful and supportive community and our child was happy and comfortable going to kindergarten from day one, which we had never once achieved with daycare drop offs! The amount of care and effort that staff put into every single student is obvious, not to mention the confidence that we have in the quality of education that our child is getting with evidence based educational theories underpinning everything they do and clear communication that we get from them each day and in the newsletters. We are so incredibly grateful to have been part of this community!

We have been absolutely over the moon with the care, education, and support our son has received since starting at Pope Road Kindergarten. From the very beginning, the educators have created a warm, nurturing, and inclusive environment where he has felt safe and valued. What has stood out most to us is the genuine care shown towards each child. Our son’s emotional and social wellbeing has been nurtured so thoughtfully, and we have seen growth in his confidence, independence, and relationships with others. The learning experiences are engaging, purposeful, and fun, and it is clear how much thought and dedication goes into the program. One of the things we value most about Pope Road is its strong sense of community. The kindergarten does such a wonderful job of bringing families together and fostering meaningful connections. There is a real sense of belonging. We couldn’t have asked for a better start to our son’s kinder journey.

Words can’t describe how much we love this kindergarten. I’m not easily impressed but Pope Road kindergarten has just been perfect for our family. Leanne and the educators have been so thoughtful in everything they do for the kids and families too. Lovely community, all the families get to know each other really well at the playground next door after school every day. Really well thought out with transition programs too which was particularly valuable to our family.

Brilliant staff and gives an amazing sense of belonging when you are there! Best Kinder in the area

Highly recommend Pope Road Kindergarten for any families who want a well-thought through and considered early education program for their child. Every single initiative, idea, conversation or activity your child participates in has purpose, and they encourage your child to think critically. The (amazing) educators are there to guide your child's learning, not to tell them what to think or do. It's only been a few months since our family joined, but it feels like we've been attending for years. We feel connected to the kindergarten, and to the families, with lots of social activities organised by the parent committee. The educators go well beyond their scope to share insights about your child's learning experiences and ways to enhance their overall experience. It's extremely difficult to get a spot here, it's that popular! Recommend applying as soon as you can to secure your child's place, you absolutely will not regret it!

My grandchild attends this Pope Road and we just feel so lucky to have had this oppurtunity to be part of this wonderful kindergarten in Blackburn. ALL of the teaching staff are devoted and our child with no previous child care experience has settled in so well and now we are getting school ready for 2027. You guys are just the best!

Pope Road Kinder is a haven. The staff are so genuinely loving and caring and have the best interests of the kids at the forefront of every day and learning experience. My daughter is so fortunate to have had her 4yo Kinder year here.

I went to Pope Rd back in 1989/1990 and have fond memories of this place from way back then. My brothers and sister followed after me so our family was part of the kinder for around six years until the mid 1990s. Now I have children going into kinder and would love to send them here, but I'm in a different council now. Great seeing all these reviews that the kinder is still highly regarded. Pope Rd will always have a special place in my heart.
