Helen Paul Kindergarten

"HPK was a top preference for us when we moved to the area, aside from its location (being close to home); it offers wide open spaces allowing for indoor/outdoor play. There is a park next door and the local coffee shop providing the option for pre and post fun with other local families. If that's not enough bush kinder apart of the 4yo program was also a big draw card as our son loves the outdoors and exploring (albeit that's not until next year - but something to look forward too!). We may only be half way through term one of 3yo kinder but I can confidently say HPK was the best decision for us. The teaching staff are amazing as they look to foster independence, resilience and sharing. The stories that have been shared around the dinner table, has demonstrated to us that he is very engaged during the sessions; we hear all about feeding the pet turtles (we even have a container with a plastic turtle that he uses to demonstrate what they do) and to the excitement when showing off his weekly paintings or artwork. I would certainly recommend Helen Paul Kindergarten to any family looking to build their child's independence and confidence; or to get involved in supporting the local community as we have already meet so many amazing families."

"We were so impressed by the team at Helen Paul Kinder. Our son attended 4 year old kinder and was very well supported and cared for during his time there. The team all got to know him well and were very helpful in terms of assisting with school readiness. The centre itself is fantastic with lots of learning experiences all around (the turtles and stick insects were very popular)! The Bush Kindy day each week at a local park was also a highlight as the children were able to immerse themselves in nature, climb trees, find tadpoles and experience a different environment. I definitely recommend Helen Paul Kindergarten!"

"My oldest daughter attended 4yo kinder at Helen Paul in 2017 and absolutely loved the kinder and teachers (as did I). My daughter wasn't socially ready for school and therefore repeated 4yo kinder this year and unfortunately Helen Paul wasn't an option as we relocated our family. I have now been involved in 2 kindergartens and can highly recommend Helen Paul as one of the best. I felt the teachers (Amy, Lucy and Mel) encouraged my daughter and genuinely cared for what was best for her, they were very approachable and open. I highly recommend Helen Paul kindergarten."

"We love how down to earth Helen Paul Kinder is. The play spaces are very natural and encourage lots creativity allowing kids to be kids! With the variety of spaces, the children get to experience new and different play opportunities both indoors and outdoors. Kids don't need fancy toys, they just need opportunity. The staff are all fantastic at giving kids the best opportunity to engage in play enabling their development. We are very happy at Helen Paul and our son loves it! Especially the giant sandpit, dirt pit and water play!"

"On the very first day my daughter visited Helen Paul Kinder, she had a smile from ear to ear. She explored the inside and outside areas of the kinder with much enthusiasm and felt instantly at ease. She started the 4 year old program this year which also has an outdoor kinder program. We chose Helen Paul over other local kindergartens in the area because I felt it would be a great transition to Hampton Primary School and I had heard nothing but amazing feedback from other parents. The kinder has exceeded my expectations in every way. The staff are incredibly dedicated and the program is very well run. I am also on the kinder committee this year which has been a wonderful way to become more involved in the local community."
