I would not recommend Helen Paul Kindergarten.There are many other high quality choices within the Bayside area.

We absolutely love Helen Paul Kindergarten! The teachers are amazing—so kind and caring. The environment is warm and welcoming, and there are so many activities that keep the kids excited. Our son especially enjoys the Bush Kinder program—it’s such a great experience for him. The backyard is fantastic too—so natural and perfect for play. We’re really grateful to have found HPK and highly recommend it to other parents!

Cannot speak highly enough of Helen Paul Kinder. We moved from the city so my kids could go to this beautiful kindergarten. We came to an open day and fell in love with the teachers and the setting instantly. The kinder has such good values and places child wellbeing and happiness first. The beautiful liquidamber tree shading the play area is spectacular and the indoor play spaces are so well set up. We love the shorter days which are suitable for little ones. My kids loved this kinder from day one and we were welcomed into a beautiful community of parents and educators. We feel so grateful to have found HPK

We have had the pleasure of both our sons attend the 3 and 4 year old kinder program at HPK. The kinder offers a nurturing environment where children are encouraged to explore and learn at their own pace. The teachers are exceptional—supportive, kind, and deeply invested in each child’s development. We have also been so impressed with the unique opportunities the kinder provides especially bush kinder, beach kinder and the special incursions/excursions. We are incredibly grateful for the positive impact HPK has had on our son's early education, and we couldn’t recommend it more highly!

I am incredibly grateful for the supportive and nurturing environment at this kindergarten. From the moment my son joined, the staff demonstrated exceptional understanding and care. The teachers are patient, compassionate, and work closely with us to create personalized learning strategies. They’ve fostered a sense of belonging for my son, helping him grow emotionally and socially, while also developing important skills. The individualized attention and tailored approach have made a significant positive impact on his confidence and progress. I couldn’t have asked for a better place for him to thrive.

If I could give more than 5 stars for this review, I totally would! Helen Paul Kindergarten is just fantastic! It’s so close to our house and right by a bus stop, which is perfect since my son loves hopping on the bus with his dad for his Friday classes. From the first moment we visited for Open Day, I was really impressed by how clean and organized everything was. It has such a warm and welcoming vibe for kids to learn and play together. And being in a lovely community area is a big bonus—kids really thrive in a safe and positive environment, and HPK provides just that. I can’t recommend it enough to all my friends with little ones nearby. The staff at HPK are simply amazing. They’re all super friendly and love working with the kids. On my son’s first day of 4yo kinder, he came home bursting with excitement! He couldn’t stop talking about how much he likes his teachers and all the fun things he’s learning. And he always raves about how much he loves their Bush Kinder.n My husband and I are big fans too, especially since he grew up playing in that adorable little playground next door. It’s such a special place, and we’ve made so many wonderful memories with our son and daughter there. I can’t wait for my daughter to join HPK when it’s her turn; I just know she’s going to have just as much fun as her big brother! A huge shoutout to all the staff for their hard work and dedication. You always make sure our kids come home with big smiles and fantastic memories from their days at kinder!

Helen Paul Kindy has been exceptional for our daughter in both the 3 & 4 year old classes. The supportive, nurturing teachers have helped transform her from a shy toddler into a confident, eager learner who just loves going to kindy! Beyond the classroom, we've built connections with other families, creating a wonderful community through after-class play dates at the park next door and other optional community & social events. We couldn’t ask for a better foundation for her lifelong learning journey.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Divine place for children to explore their social and emotional development! Bush kindy day a favorite for sure!

HPK was our first choice for our daughter & I'm so glad we were accepted. It’s the best!

We love HPK so much and recommend it highly. The shorter sessions mean the children absolutely love going there. The teachers have such a lovely energy too, they’re all so caring for each child and have amazing new ideas for play learning at every session and give us individual updates when we need it. My son’s drawing improved from the first week here so I could tell they pay attention to individuals and guide them to improve their skills. And finally, it’s an amazing community, we didn’t know anyone in the area before starting here but the park next door for the kids to play in means you get lots of opportunities to meet parents as well as there being optional social evens throughout the year. It’s a really welcoming community that we are so grateful to have found.
