Our family has been part of Oppia since my son was just 7 months old, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. He is now 3.5 years old, and seeing the way the educators have helped raise him has been wonderful. Everyday he comes home happy. He has develooed great social skills playing with his peers and truly loves the storytime and activities. It's a huge relief to go to work knowing he is in such a fun, nurturing, and educational environment!

A lovely small centre where the staff genuinely cares for their children. Whenever I enter the room for kids drop off/pick up, I see staff engaging with children warmingly and this is reflected as the rooms are always calm and so are the educators. Learning updates are provided daily and they truly reflect children's interests that lead to meaningful intentional teaching rather than copy-and-paste activities. Being a kinder teacher myself, this is an important aspect when I was looking for a centre. The educators truly know the children. I've done tours to all 5-6 centres around the area, and my kids had been to 2 other childcare centres previously, and none can compare to the genuine care that Oppia provides. Thanks Nicole, Meagan, Caitlyn, Mabel, Layean, Chloe, Uma and all the staff for all the amazing work you do for our kids!

I’ve had such a beautiful experience with Oppia Childcare. From the moment you walk in, you are greeted with such warmth and kindness. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, and they create such a supportive environment for both the children and families. It truly feels less like a childcare centre and more like a little community. The kinder program is amazing — full of imagination, creativity and thoughtful activities that encourage the kids to explore, learn and express themselves. You can see how much care and effort the educators put into making each day special and engaging for the children. My daughter especially loved the themed homecorner area, and the special visitors (hand puppets) who are part of the class room. The most important thing for me is that my child comes home happy every single day and wakes up excited to go back. As a parent, there is no better feeling than knowing your child feels safe, supported and genuinely loved while they are there. What really makes Oppia so special is the feeling you get when you walk through the doors. It truly feels like a second home, and the educators treat the children like family. That level of care and connection is something you can’t fake — it’s something you feel. I am so grateful to have found a place where my child is so happy and thriving. I highly recommend Oppia Childcare to any family looking for a nurturing, loving and creative early learning environment. 💜

My 3 children have been attending Oppia Childcare over the last 8yrs and we are so happy with their services. They are our second family. All of the staff are very friendly, engaging and professional and so kind and understanding. They are always happy to work with families for the best outcomes for the children. We have loved the new changes since the change of ownership. Miss 3yo now comes home saying “Saturn is her favourite planet!” The app has been great for tracking daily activities, food menu for the day and easy communication with medication administration. We are so happy with Oppia and their services and will continue to recommended them.

Oppia is fantastic. The staff communicate well and consistently go above and beyond to make us feel reassured that our child is well cared for. Often, our child comes home excited from her days spent there and has developed friends with the other children and the staff. Highly recommend.
