I went to Pope Rd back in 1989/1990 and have fond memories of this place from way back then. My brothers and sister followed after me so our family was part of the kinder for around six years until the mid 1990s. Now I have children going into kinder and would love to send them here, but I'm in a different council now. Great seeing all these reviews that the kinder is still highly regarded. Pope Rd will always have a special place in my heart.

We can’t speak highly enough of Pope Road Kindergarten! Pope Road is such an amazing place for kids and families alike. The sense of community, staff dedication and passion and nurture of children is evident in everything they do. It has been one of the best choices we have made for our children and I highly recommend this kindergarten.

Our son attended Pope road and had a wonderful time. The teachers here are outstanding and showed a level of care and commitment to their roles and to the children that really deserves praise. How fortunate for the community of Blackburn to have Pope Road kindergarten!

We feel so grateful to have found a nurturing and safe environment where both our children have felt happy and excited to go every day. Highly recommend to any parents looking for a loving, play based stimulating early learning environment.

If you’re after that magical kinder experience, a welcoming community, highly experienced and warm staff with an exemplary education program, look no further. We can’t wait to do it all again with our second born! I couldn’t recommend Pope Road highly enough.

After touring numerous local kinders we decided to send our son to Pope Rd Kindergarten and it was the best decision. The educators are by far the most caring, experienced and passionate you’ll find and they pay so much attention to detail with the education program they provide. Our son has really thrived under their care and we can see a huge difference in the quality of education compared to what other childcare centres and kinders offer, they truly deserve their “exceeding NQS” rating.

We are so happy with our experience at Pope Road Kindergarten! Our son absolutely loves going to kinder — he looks forward to every kinder day with so much excitement. It’s been wonderful to see how much he’s grown in confidence, creativity, and friendships since starting here. The teachers/educators are caring, nurturing, and create such a positive, welcoming environment. We truly feel that Pope Road Kindergarten is a special place where children are supported, encouraged, and celebrated. We are very grateful to be part of this beautiful community!

I cannot recommend this kindergarten highly enough. The educators care so much for each and every child, taking the time to get to known them and see them for who they truly are. Educators speak with children, not to them and my kids absolutely love going to kindergarten. The teaching team are experienced, passionate and the best interest of children are at the centre of everything they do. It's an incredible community to be part of and it's truly the best kindergarten in Melbourne!

We have found Pope Road to be a very nurturing kinder with educators who go over and above to care for the kids, and provide community and support for the whole family

An excellent kindergarten in every way. Educators know and treat children like their own, each having a knack in ‘seeing’ each child’s inner magic. Learning adventures and teachings are well considered and relevant. Thank you for going above and beyond for our girls :)
