All 3 of my children went to kindergarten here from start to finish. We had a wonderful experience at The Gap Early Childhood Centre over the course of about 7 years. The staff were all great! Without naming names a special mention to those of you who were there from start to finish and helped nurture my sons through to school. You guys know who you are and helped make the centre what it is by being there long term, so thanks. I will miss you guys but keep up the good work. Thanks for many great year’s service!! I would definitely recommend sending your kids to kindergarten here

We’ve had such a wonderful experience with this childcare/kindy. The educators are incredibly passionate and caring, and it really shows in the way they connect with the children. There’s very little staff turnover, which has made such a difference to our daughter feeling safe and confident there. The centre has great processes in place and keeps families regularly updated about what the children are learning and doing, which we really appreciated. We always felt completely confident that our daughter was well cared for, supported, and encouraged to learn and grow. Highly recommend!

As someone who works in the early childhood education industry, I have a deep appreciation for the values and approach of this Centre. It’s clear that the staff truly understand the individual needs of every child, creating a nurturing and supportive environment. I’ve been so impressed with the calm and inclusive atmosphere that engages children in meaningful ways, helping them feel both safe and excited to learn. It really mirrors the ideals I hold close in my own work. I highly recommend The Gap early childhood Centre to any parent seeking a place where their child’s well-being and development are the top priorities.
