Integricare St Ives Preschool is just wonderful. The outdoor space and the classrooms are nice and big. Most importantly the staff are just incredible at this preschool. The are kind and nurturing and you can tell they just love being with the children. My son had such a wonderful year here and I am so grateful to all the staff for their support. I cannot recommend this preschool enough.

We enrolled our son for the last term of the year after a friend's recommendation and have been so pleased with our experience so far. We can see he has developed so much and the teachers have been very nurturing and accommodating to him (one of the youngest of the class). Every interaction with Lauren and the team has been pleasant and there's no more "I don't want to go to xxx" (which is what he said about daycare). We're looking forward to another year there!
