Mona Lisa is an exceptional Director who leads this preschool with warmth, skill, and true dedication. She has a remarkable ability to keep gross motor development thriving and joyful in every classroom.

Both my boys children have attended CASS Gumnut since they were just 6 months old and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better place for them to grow. What they’ve received here goes far beyond a daycare and preschool, it’s been a true community for our family. From the very beginning, our children have been nurtured, supported, and genuinely cared for. Mona Lisa, the director, is exceptional. She has played such a meaningful role in nurturing them throughout the years. Her warmth, leadership, and dedication are felt in every part of the centre. A special mention also to Kieran whose love, kindness, and care have been deeply felt by both our children and us as parents. The genuine connections formed here are something we will always be grateful for. We feel incredibly lucky to have been part of this community and highly recommend it to any family looking for a place where children are truly seen, supported, and nurtured.

After dedicating more than a decade to CASS Gumnut Early Learning Centre - St Leonards, I can truly say it is a wonderful environment for both children and staff. As someone who recently retired after over 10 years at the centre, I have witnessed firsthand the commitment, passion, and professionalism that define this special place. The educators and carers go above and beyond to create a warm, nurturing, and safe environment for every child. The curriculum in engaging and thoughtfully planned, supporting children's growth, creativity, and curiosity. I have seen so many children blossom in confidence, skill, and happiness during their time here. What also stands out is the sense of community among families and staff. The team values strong partnerships with parents, welcoming feedback and working together to ensure each child thrives. The leadership is supportive and always looking for ways to improve and innovate. After more than 10 years with centre, I retired with so many fond memories and lasting friendships. I have no hesitation in recommending CASS Gumnut Early Learning Centre - St Leonards to any family seeking a caring, high- quality child care experience. Your little ones will be in the best of hands. Thank you to everyone at CASS Gumnut Earlt Learning Centre - St Leonards for making my years there so rewarding and for continuing to provide outstanding care and education for children in our community.

I did my work replacement here and I had a really inspiring time with the whole team. The teachers here are always approachable and ready for the children. They are also very supportive during my whole replacement. I learnt the idea of child-centred and responsive care from the team. I was impressed by the stem programmes they had in the daily activities. Each child here is adorable and unique. I am grateful to have had this experience and would recommend this centre wholeheartedly!

The best CC in St Leonards ! My boy has attended two childcare centres, and it’s clear that he receives much better care at CASS. Every educator there is friendly, caring and patient with children. They also have a great app that allows to check daily journal and photos. Strongly recommended!

This childcare it’s amazing my son went there and always enjoyed that every time
