    This centre is truly something special! As an early childhood educator myself I hold very high standards for the level of care I expect for my children. Saltwater exceeded them all! I have been greeted warmly by every single educator and they have shown a genuine interest in getting to know my little ones and helping them settle in to their new home away from home. The educational program is phenomenal and I can tell that alongside the wonderful engaging educators, the resources and play spaces will add to a rich learning environment. Thank you so much to everyone who made Saltwater Preschool possible and thank you for giving our local community something so rare and special!!

    I cannot recommend this daycare enough! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a stunning, well-designed space that feels warm, inviting, and thoughtfully created for children to thrive. The staff are beyond accommodating, incredibly skilled, and truly dedicated to providing the best care while focusing on a well-rounded curriculum. Communication has been seamless—every staff member is quick to respond, understanding, and attentive, especially when it comes to children’s health concerns. It’s clear they prioritize not only education but also the well-being of every child in their care. There’s a waitlist of course, but trust me, it’s worth it! If you have the opportunity to enroll, take any available spot—you won’t regret it. This daycare is an absolute gem!
