We had our daughter going to this pre-school and here are our detailed observations: 1- The school principal and whole staff are beyond amazing. They are very welcoming, accomidating, and incredibly friendly. Principal Patty sets a wonderful tone for the entire center with her warmth and understanding. From day one, she made us feel at ease and welcomed. The teachers, including Ms. Anum, Ms. Ayesha, and Ms. Nassema, along with the rest of the staff, are equally impressive—friendly, attentive, and dedicated to giving each child individual care. 2-The teaching approach is incredibly thoughtful and well-rounded. Each day, our daughter would come home excited to share what she learned—whether it was a new song, a creative craft, or a fun science experiment. The curriculum strikes a perfect balance between play-based activities and foundational learning, which really helped boost her confidence and curiosity. 3-The communication with parents is top-notch. From daily updates to newsletters and scheduled parent-teacher meetings, we always felt in the loop about our daughter’s progress and any upcoming school events. It’s clear that the staff values partnership with parents, which made us feel even more connected to our child’s early education. 4- The facilities are clean, bright, and well-organized. There is ample space for children to explore both indoors and outdoors, and safety measures are clearly prioritized. It’s comforting as a parent to see how much thought goes into creating a warm, nurturing environment. Overall, we highly recommend Carrington Preschool for families looking for an engaging, supportive, and warm environment for their children. Principal Patty and her team—including Ms. Anum, Ms. Ayesha, Ms. Nassema and everyone else—go above and beyond to create a positive early education experience. We couldn’t be happier with our daughter’s time here! Lasting great memoris, indeed! Read more

It is such a blessing for the Canterbury/Bankstown area. Jamila and Pearl are amazing people who show love and care towards the child and you KNOW it's not because of reviews or money. It's because they genuinely care. My son loved going there (I put him for 3 hours every 2 weeks) and I always felt he was in safe hands. They focus a lot on teaching the child independent skills, open play and literacy. I visited a Montessori school to check it out and as a teacher I can say that Carrington Occasional Care do more "Montessori" style things than the Montessori schools. They make sure that the children have family photos in the centre to make it more family based and they celebrate every cultural and religious holiday. They are so inclusive and it was great to see children of different abilities being treated the same as any other child. Thank you Jamila and Pearl and the team for being our first daycare and having such a positive impact on our lives. Read more
