"There are no words to describe how amazing this school is and how appreciative we are for EVERYTHING they have done for our little boys. Our 3 year old had a speech delay so we decided to try putting him in preschool to see if it could help. Within a few months he was talking in full sentences and singing songs. Also, our 2 year old was recently diagnosed with Autism and the improvement we have seen in him over the year has been astonishing. We are so grateful to all of the staff at Koalaroo and so happy we chose this preschool for our children's first school experience."

"Mrs. Meechan, We couldn't be more grateful for our time at Koalaroo. Both our kids were so well cared for while also gaining a complete love for learning. Your program, special events, meals, EVERYTHING Is amazing. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for starting our kids' learning journey in such a positive way. We will see you for some fun this Summer! Abby, Jackson, Ryan and Katherine"

"Mrs. Meechan (and Steve). Words can't express how grateful we all, and our heartfelt thanks for the incredible environment you've continued to create at Koalaroo. It's so clear that your care, vision and leadership shape everything that happens within our Koalaroo Family. Knowing our children are spending their days in a place filled with warmth, safety and encouragement, means the world to us. Thank you for all the unseen hours, the thoughtful decisions, attention to details and planning special events, it truly is seen and felt. With deep gratitude, love The Machado Family"

"Koalaroo preschool is amazing. My son has really thrived with his teachers support, kindness, and love of teaching. My son was barely speaking at 2 1/2, and 6 months later is singing songs, counting to 20, saying his colours and is forming sentences. He has developed such a personality, has made friendships and has bonded so well with his peers and teachers. Koalaroo is definitely a top notch preschool, it has been the best choice for my son's development. We couldn't be happier!"

"Koalaroo Preschool is the only place I feel comfortable leaving my children. Not only is it a great education for her, but the staff is nurturing, kind and very thorough with follow-up. They are amazing there and would recommend them to anyone!"

"Being first-time parents, we experienced the typical concerns of placing our child in the care of others. When we first brought our daughter to Koalaroo Preschool we were quickly comforted by how welcoming and friendly the staff was. The impact was immediate as we watched her happily interact with her teachers and fellow students, and blossom before our eyes both socially and intellectually. The expert guidance and genuine love that is provided to the children allows them to thrive in every aspect of their development. We are witnessing new milestones on a weekly basis. Our daughter loves to sing and to explore her environment with an enthusiastic curiosity that we know will form the foundation for her as she grows and develops into happy, content and productive individual. With the added bonus of having healthy cooking provided by the in-house chef, we know at the end of the day when we pick her up that she has been well nourished in every way. We highly recommend Koalaroo Preshool."

"Koalaroo is a fantastic preschool for all the reasons current and past parents already know: caring teachers, excellent programming, wonderful freshly on-site cooked, by a real chef, meals (and not simply microwave warmed-up prepackaged snacks as majority of other centres do). However they are furthermore outstanding for how far their caring for each individual child extends: to also include, with open arms, children with a variety of learning and developmental disabilities, and to help them thrive alongside their 'neurotypical peers', as equal and valued participants. They also work with different teams of support workers that such children may have access to - such as Simcoe County resource and support workers, as well as private therapists that may have been hired by the families - to incorporate their support for the child right into the daily programming and experiences the child is receiving at the preschool, while also benefiting from regular interaction with their peers. This makes them unparallelled in not only sincere caring for the child's well-being, but willingness to accept challenges above simply providing 'regular childcare'. (and their 'regular childcare' is far and above the rest, too!) Thank you, Koalaroo! "

"Koalaroo has been a warm, nurturing place for our son. He adores his cool Aussie teacher Mrs. Meechan. Annie brings tons of professional and personal experience to her school. Our son loves Mr. Meechan's yummy lunches and asks for 2-3 helpings!!"

"After her first year of school at Koalaroo I am so proud of how much our 2 year old daughter has learned at Koalaroo. This school is absolutely amazing, it is great to have a place to bring our little girl that I feel she is safe, in loving care and is have a great time! I have never had to endure the experience of a screaming exit when dropping her off here. The staff is absolutely amazing and our daughter has made a lot of great friends. I cant say enough about how wonderful Koalaroo is, we did a lot of investigation in finding the perfect school and after her first full year the hard work paid off. We found the perfect place for her at Koalaroo. - Thank you!"

"Annie & (Chef) Steve have been wonderful at Koalaroo Preschool. My girls (ages four & nearly two) have learned SO much in the short time they have been there and are truly excited to go every day. I am thoroughly impressed by how professionally this preschool is run and the meals/snacks that they prepare for the kids every day."
