Our daughter started at Little Blue Penguin at the end of January and we couldn't be happier with how its going. She loves everyone at the center and especially her key educator that has helped her to settle in. The other kids are so friendly and we love the updates showing how they are including our daughter in feeling like part of the family. Would highly reccomend Little Blue Penguin to anyone. P.S. the outdoor area is amazing!

LBP is an excellent Preschool, my 2yr old enjoys going here. Staff are warm and kind, environment is awesome , clean and spacious with open doors which is really great. We are really happy with our choice and would recommend LBP to any family looking for nurturing their little ones.

We absolutely love LBP Prestons! Our little girl has the best time there - there’s always so much for her to explore and enjoy. The kaiako are all wonderfully friendly, caring, and attentive. The food is wholesome and nourishing - she eats every bit! LBP has such a lovely, homely atmosphere that makes it a comfortable and happy place for our daughter. We completely trust the team and couldn’t be happier with our choice of preschool and nursery.
