What Our Families Say

Amazing staff and wonderful facilities! Waratah is a wonderful preschool and would not hesitate recommending it to other families

I’m so thankful to the teachers at Waratah preschool for the amazing, caring and supportive environment they have created. Our son is now so prepared for kindergarten and has built some wonderful friendships and memories. We can’t wait for our daughter to attend!

What a special place! Jenny, Ms Belinda, Ms Bec and team do such a great job. They prepare meaningful learning opportunities and tailor it to the specific interests of the kids. My son has thrived in this environment and is very sad to be leaving! You have prepared him so well for kindy!

We are so glad we chose Karabar Preschool, which came highly recommend to us! Miss Jenny and her team are true professionals and you can tell they love what they do. They are caring, welcoming, invested in ensuring your child is learning in a supportive fun environment. Karabar Preschool was the best preschool experience we could have hoped for.

We have loved our experience with Karabar Preschool. Our son loved it from day 1. Miss Jenny and her wonderful team provide a caring and nurturing environment where children and their families feel supported throughout. The staff are approachable and I always felt that any concerns were heard and actioned.
