An absolutely wonderful start to your child's education. Caring, supportive staff with years of expertise make you feel at home leaving your precious ones in their care. My two sons have attended here and my daughter will start shortly. It's a not for profit centre so it is all about providing the best start for our little ones. Also being a smaller centre each educator knows your child, their interests and importantly, their unique needs. The best part is the preschool is fantastic in terms of school readiness and prepares kids for the transition to primary school in such a thorough way.

I love Gorokan Preschool so much and the beautiful educators that are there. Both of my kids have gone there and I'm sad that my youngest will be going to big school next year so we won't be seeing the lovely ladies anymore.They will be sorely missed. They have a great school readiness program! Highly recommend this preschool!!
