I picked Imaginations Pre-school not only because it’s a local preschool but I had heard amazing things and as soon as I walked in, I knew that’s where I wanted my three kids to go. Not only do the kids feel at home but it’s like they’re your extended family. It’s been so nice to see the kids grow and learn there.

What a truly wonderful pre-school. We feel so very fortunate that we managed to secure a spot in this lovely, caring environment. We were welcomed with open arms from the beginning and the feeling of warmth and inclusion has only grown with each day that passes.

The team at Imaginations Pre-school is second to none. I know that when I drop my children off in the morning that they will not only be cared for in a way that each team member would care for their own child but also that they will be immersed in brain enriching activities that will bring joy to their lives. 

The team has bent over backwards at every turn to ensure that my children’s needs are met. My children love coming to Imaginations and this puts a smile on a grateful Mumma’s face. Thank you very much for being so amazing.

The first thing I love about Imaginations Pre-school is the genuine care and affection that educators show towards kids. We love the morning greetings, all the routine updates and the cute details we receive when we pick them up, from eating habits, sleep pattern to newly picked up skills. 

It really has a friendly and secure atmosphere that the kids enjoy themselves while parents can understand them better from educators, free of worry. The activities are good as well, educators teach all sorts of skills including making cuisine, sports, numbers, shapes and encourage them to talk. Bilingual teaching is another great feature as part of it, and it is especially important for us as we are immigrants and English is not our first language.

The children participate in experiences that encourage them to build their sense of belonging, identity and confidence. These include arts and crafts, interactive group times, singing, dancing, and dramatic play.

Long term educators: the centre’s longest serving staff member has been working with the team for 21 years. The majority of the staff have been with the centre for more than 8 years.

Bilingual: the bilingual educators speak the children’s home languages, including Mandarin, Italian, Arabic and Korean. 

Home-like environment: the educators seek to offer a warm and welcoming environment with positive feelings of safety, love and attentive care. This helps to provide a smooth and positive transition for parents to leave their children in the care of the team.

Individualised curriculum: the educators understand that all children are unique, and provide the support, encouragement and positive learning outcome to suit each child.

Strong relationships: the educators build strong foundations with the parents and work closely together to meet the needs of the children and give feedback to parents.

Low turnover: the children get to know the long-term educators and can look forward to seeing the same faces each week. Turnover is low, with the current Centre Manager having been at the centre for 8 years.  

When I applied for the position at Imaginations Pre-School and came in for my interview, I fell in love with how family orientated the Pre-School is. 

Kimberly Tune, Centre Manager, Imaginations Pre-School Marsfield

At Imaginations Pre-School Marsfield, the educators conduct regular food and cooking experiences with all age groups, to help teach them the valuable skills of cooking and healthy eating.

For the older children, being able to serve themselves lunch allows them to practice self-help techniques and builds their independence. They also help to clean their own dishes after each meal. The children wait for all their friends to be seated with their lunch prior to eating, teaching them social skills. The centre is affiliated with the NSW Department of Health’s Munch & Move, which seeks to teach the children about healthy eating and the importance of regular exercise.

The centre’s meals and snacks are delivered daily by a catering company called Kids Gourmet Food, and includes a variety of meals from different cultures. Some of the children’s favourite meals include chicken cheese and spinach pasta, Italian meatballs and potato bake.
