Why families love Warekila

"Great kindergarten, fantastic staff and a wonderful sense of community. They run a full day program instead of just a few hours which is such a welcome change for working parents! We are so happy that our family moved to Warekila."
"Such a gorgeous kinder that reminds me of the kinder I went to as a child. Great facilities and an amazing outdoor space - hands down one of the best spaces in the area. The program run by the educators is great - my children are engaged, challenged and learning so much. The bush kinder program is a massive winner, being so close to the Koonung Creek area the kids get exposed to a fantastic program outside. Lovely class sizes too! For a traditional kinder program you really can’t beat Warekila."
“We love the large indoor and outdoor spaces and great wide verandas where the children can still play outside when it’s wet. The children love the cooking and using the veggies they have grown in the garden.”
