Our Families say
We've had two of our children (and a third in coming years) wander into Orange Preschool, and the growth and confidence the kids develop over the course of those days, weeks, months and years after that first day really is like watching a flower blossom. All of the staff there are wonderful at their jobs, and have given our kids the best possible tools - self belief, problem-solving skills, a sense of community and the feeling of belonging - they can have to venture off to big school. And, importantly, they do it all while allowing the kids to have fun in a safe and secure environment. We love the play areas, really enjoy the art the kids bring home and can't wait to hear all the stories the kids bring home with them after a day at the school. We love Orange Preschool, and can't wait to see the facility really come to life (even more than it is already!) when the renovations are complete. Myself and my wife feel it's important to give our kids the best possible foundation before they head off to big school, and Orange Preschool provides that and then some. Well done to everyone involved there - keep up the GREAT work!

Our children have all been very happy at Orange Preschool. The staff are always happy and they have a really nice energy. We are so happy to find a service that understands our family values and we can see this in how our children are cared for. We felt very supported during Covid and we always know about our our child's day. Thankyou.

I love Sonya and the playdough and they always get us new clothes if we have a little accident, but I don't need new clothes as I have new clothes in my bag. We also watched a caterpillar thingy to see what happens because Phoebe the caterpillar is in her cocoon.

It is a friendly place. All of the parents and the staff seem happy and say hello to each other. The educators talk with me and show an interest in my child. They always let me know what is happening with my child. I love that it isn't a stock standard service, there is always something different going on like little camping areas and climbing tubes, the kids grow plants and have experiences with animals. I feel really relaxed whenever I am there. We have been at the service 7 years and it is always evolving and improving. I think it is even better now than it was when we started there and it was great then!

The educators are always there for you and they are very nice to you. If you are sad they always make you feel better and they bring in their pets and bring in their animals. They always give you toast aswell.

Orange preschool has been a wonderful centre for our daughter to attend. The educators are kind, gentle and respectful. They develop programs that are of interest to the children and that make learning fun and effortless. They stay tuned with the children’s interests, cultural backgrounds and outside experiences, and make a wonderful job of incorporating it into their program. A lot of reflexion goes behind the activities that are offered and the way that they are delivered. Each child belongs there in their own way and is given a voice, which is so powerful for them as they are building a sense of who they are. They also learn to be respectful of their peers and to honour difference. I find communication with the families is outstanding. Every change or significant information is communicated through the Educa platform. It is very easy to speak to an educator either at drop off or pick up, or over the phone. The team are very responsive when something is brought up to an educator and they are always lovely to speak with. I highly recommend Orange preschool and look forward to our little one attending in a couple of years. Thank you to Sonya and all the teachers at Orange preschool for giving our children an opportunity to grow in a safe, fun and caring environment.
