We are so thankful for R’s experiences and friendships developed and are looking forward to sending our second daughter in a year.”

“My daughter has been attending Maitland Community Preschool for 2 years and in those 2 years she has been nurtured, guided and provided with many opportunities to develop a love of learning. As she goes in to kindergarten next year I know she has had the very best preschool experience to start her schooling. Thank you to all the staff at MCP, you really do go above and beyond for our children and families.”

“The staff at Maitland Community Preschool spend time to understand my child’s interests, strengths and difficulties. They provided such a warm, caring environment which enabled my child to build on his strengths and consequently gain the confidence he needed to improve on those things he had trouble with- thanks for an amazing year.”

“I have struggled to find anything negative to write! This year our little one has gone from strength to strength thanks to the amazing staff. If anything, you probably need to do less and give yourselves a well-earned rest.”

“Love loved loved our 2 years at Maitland Community Preschool. I cannot thank the staff enough for nurturing our little girl and helping her become the confident social busy bee that she is today. The staff are by far the best in the business. All of the teachers are knowledgeable, experienced and LOVING! Your school has heart as soon as you walk in the gate. My O never wanted to leave. I’m so happy that she has all these wonderful memories to take with her. Can’t wait for my youngest to be starting next year.”

“What a wonderfully enriched experience my daughter had at Maitland Community Preschool. The staff are excellent, caring and experienced. She loved her time at this preschool and transitioned to school with confidence and an excitement to learn. My second child is there now and is so excited on her preschool days, and I attended when I was 4 (only 20 years ago ha ha not). Maitland Community Preschool your staff and facilities are a credit to you and I can’t recommend it enough.”

“Maitland Community Preschool has set the bar very high for what I now expect from preschools. Firstly, the amazing staff that go above and beyond not only for the children but the families, the atmosphere and family orientated environment of the school, many ways of communication so you are very aware of how your child is progressing, the dedication of the teachers which shows in their many many many years at the preschool, the list is endless! We have been very blessed to have our daughter attend preschool here and will miss everyone when she moves on in the future.”

“What can I say? This preschool is the best! With staff as caring and kind and supportive as these ones, you can’t go wrong sending any child here. My little one has just had the best year here, and she never ever wanted to go home. As a family, our year had many ups and downs and they were there to support all of us every step of the way. We are going to miss preschool so much, but they made such a difference to us all that we are ready for our next big challenge. Thank you so much Maitland Community Preschool!”

“As A’s time comes here to a close here after 2 years I would like to take the time to thank all the Staff and Teachers at Maitland Community Preschool for the effort and support they have given A since he began. They have been a big influence on A and have gone beyond what I initially expected from them. The staff and teachers have always been very approachable when I have needed to speak with them and have always been upfront with myself when discussing what was best for A especially this time last year when we had to make a decision whether to start him at school this year. I would highly recommend to anyone reading these reviews to send their child here. You will be doing them a great service and giving them a fantastic start with their education. 11 out of 10 Maitland Community Preschool. I am sure A will miss you all next year.”

“It was with a secret tear in our eye that we said our goodbyes to the amazing staff at Maitland Community Preschool today, as our daughter begins a new chapter of her life in preparation for big school. Both our children have attended this wonderful preschool and absolutely loved every minute. You know you’ve found the best preschool when your child bounds out of bed every Thursday and Friday, skips down the hall and says ‘It’s Maitland Community Preschool day’ with a huge smile on her face. Then as we arrive, she walks through the gate, runs over to the beautiful [educators] and gives them a big hug… as if they are part of the family.”

“This is the best preschool ever, the teachers are so lovely and caring. There are a heap of activities the children can do, my daughter brings lots of paintings home every day. Great indoor play area. They have a fantastic outdoor area as well with loads of activities. Cannot recommend enough.
