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.

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!
