I have been incredibly impressed by The Rabbit Parch and the genuine care they show toward my child. They provide such a wide range of wonderful sensory and play-based experiences, and every set-up feels thoughtful, intentional, and truly centred around the children. Beyond the activities themselves, the educators are deeply engaged and interact with the children in such meaningful ways. The way they speak with and support them has made an enormous difference in my child’s language development and vocabulary. We feel so fortunate to have found TRP!

We’ve had our kiddo coming to the Rabbit Patch since January this year, and the team here are truly fantastic, our kiddo looks forward to going to kindy any chance she gets and she’s been learning incredibly fast. The play areas are great and we’ve had lots of art come home, the daily updates are also fantastic. It’s nerve wracking as a new mum to find the right place, and I think we got so lucky, we’re so grateful for the whole team.

Rabbit Patch has been an excellent preschool for my son. The teachers have taken great care to get to know him and have helped our introverted and shy child become a confident, happy and engaged learner. The environment is warm and exciting and my son feels safe and excited to try new things. The outdoor area especially is excellent, with gardens and play equipment that helps him to push his boundaries. The staff are kind, caring and very passionate about early childhood. They are always available to talk to me and really care about my child's development and wellbeing. It is nice to hear my son ask to see his teachers in the weekend. I couldn't feel more comfortable dropping him off in the morning!
