‘We have had a wonderful experience at Drummond Park Preschool. We appreciate the welcoming atmosphere and the sense of community. The educators are passionate about each child’s development and ensure the learning environment is engaging and supportive.

After almost 18 months at DPP, my son is thriving. The focused cohort and conncetions with the same aged peers have significantly fostered his devlopment into a confident, caring, happy, and inquisitive child. The strong relationships my son has established with both educators and friends have ensured DPP feels like a second home. The outdoor and indoor play environments are perfect for my son.

We have been so impressed with the warmth and close knit community we have found at Drummond park. having been at a larger daycare centre previously, we have noticed a huge difference in our child's sense of belonging and learning development. He loves his teachers and peers and looks forward to every preschool day which has been invaluable.

From the moment you walk through the doors each morning, you can feel the warmth and genuine care that makes Drummond Park so special. The educators are kind, friendly and inclusive, creating an environment where every child feels seen, valued, and supported. It’s a truly welcoming space that encourages curiosity, exploration, play, and imagination. It’s a place where our boys are not only happy but genuinely excited to attend, and we couldn’t ask for a more nurturing place for them to begin their learning journey.
