What our happy parents say

Thank you for being dedicated and passionate about teaching our child. Also thank you for encouraging him to learn and try new things.

Jessica

We have had two children attend ACP and both have flourished in the wonderfully supportive environment.

Erica

We recently moved our 4-year-old from a privately run facility to ACP after her brother attended 8 years ago and it was a pleasant surprise to still see some of the same familiar faces. The difference in our child since she started at ACP is remarkable.

Leigh-Ann

Our family’s experience at Albany Community Preschool has been very positive. ACP has a consistent, long-serving team who deliver a stimulating and engaging programme to the children in a very caring and supportive way.

Eve

I don't have words to explain how good this place is. I have had two kids go to ACP, and the experience has been simply amazing.

Mudassar

It’s a lovely family center, the teachers are very experienced and are great at supporting the children. The outdoor playing area is excellent, there are plenty of resources.

Paula

I switched my first child to Albany Community Preschool from a for-profit daycare and the difference was night and day. She went from being a child who cried at every drop off to one who skipped into the centre and waved me off with barely a backwards glance.

Gemma

I could not be happier with my decision to enrol my son at Albany Community Preschool. The environment is warm and welcoming and has such an amazing outdoor space for kids to run and play.

Leanne

The teachers are skillful, patient and supportive.

Claire

The teachers are very experienced and nurturing and they genuinely care about the children’s well-being.
