WA | 6 weeks to 5 years

Serpentine

Our Serpentine preschool & childcare centre will become a beautifully renovated building, providing the perfect learning environment for your child. We enrol children aged 6 weeks – 5 years and are open 6.30am – 6.00pm.

Our program

Our program includes all of the developmental domains: physical, cognitive, language, social, emotional and spiritual.

We value play as a medium for all aspects of development and learning and believe that play should be integrated across all developmental domains and curriculum areas. Since children learn best by doing, they paint, make, sing, dance, dig, plant, and water in a secure and happy home like environment under the guidance of caring and encouraging educators.

What our parents say

  • Leaps and Bounds Pre-school is a warm and welcoming environment set within a beautiful premise. Each child is greeted with a smile and the care from all staff is delivered to suit their individual personality and needs. The routine makes the day flow smoothly and there is an excellent variety in the learning and play opportunities to keep the children engaged. We have very happy to be part of the Leaps and Bounds.

    Kate

  • It is comforting to see my son happy and involved with his classmates and with the Leaps and Bounds staff members. They did such a wonderful job developing skills, language and helping with separation anxiety in the most gentle way. He enjoys most of the activities indoor but his favourite is the outdoor area. I’m certainly happy with the decision of making my son part of the L & B family.

    Jazmin

  • We are so grateful for everything the staff have done to help Katy to feel at home from day 1. She has truly loved being at Leaps & Bounds and its going to be difficult to go, she will miss everything about Leaps & Bounds. Thank you!

    Mel

  • Thank you Leaps and Bounds staff for this wonderful preschool. We are so incredibly happy here and feel so lucky to be a part of the Leaps & Bounds family.

    Laura

  • Words cannot thank you enough for the amazing environment you have created and nurtured. Your amazing staff love and respect our children and our family could not be more grateful.

    Bec

  • We absolutely love Leaps & Bounds Preschool Highgate and would recommend it to anyone looking for childcare. This is our daughters 3rd daycare & sons 2nd and by far the best we have seen and experienced. The transition went so smoothly with the staff and on the first few days our children got to spend with each other so they always felt safe which meant a lot for us as parents. Our son is more settled than he ever was at his previous day-care and each morning it is such a calm and welcoming environment for the both of them. Drop off’s have never been so easy & it is such a joy to see the kids so settled and happy. They always talk about their friends & teachers when they get home and look forward to going again each day. There is nothing to fault about Leaps & Bounds and we could not recommend a better place for anyone to send their kids.

    Erica Farrell

  • I’m so happy with my experience so far at Leaps and Bounds Highgate, After trying one other centre and visiting a couple more I knew I had found the right place as soon as I walked in the door. The teachers are wonderful and attentive with my son and the centre has a beautiful home-like feeling with a great focus on outdoor activities and fun learning activities.

    Dewi

  • Thank you for making the transition into Preschool such a positive experience for my daughter. After having her in Family Day care for the past 2 years I was keen to find a Preschool that was small and still had an intimate feel. Leaps and Bounds has certainly created that environment. With caring Educators, small classes, a great outdoor play area and endless creative stimulation she is thriving and loving her time at Preschool.

    Amy

  • Two of my children have enjoyed their preschool days at Leaps & Bounds and I couldn’t be happier with their experiences. They have built strong friendships and developed a confident sense of self, thanks to supportive staff and a loving environment. Both children have learned invaluable skills to help make their transition into primary school as smooth as possible. I am sure my youngest child is looking forward to her first day at Leaps & Bounds too.

    Tina

  • We feel so very fortunate to have our 2 children attend Leaps and Bounds Preschool. From the moment we walked in, we felt ‘part of the family.’ The carers are all so friendly and approachable and make sure that we are kept involved and informed about the children’s progress every step of the way. The centre itself is warm and inviting, the activities offered to the children are interesting and varied with staff dedicated to extending the children’s thirst for knowledge in the areas they show interest in. Above all my children’s first experience of education is that that learning is fun. They are happy and feel safe, loved and part of a community. What more could I ask for?

    Amelia

  • Both my children love attending Leaps and Bounds Preschool. Throughout their time at the Preschool they have established good friendships with other children and carers. The student groups form quite a little team and my youngest can name everyone in her class by first and last name. Furthermore, the programs delivered give students the opportunity to learn new skills and ideas as well as play and explore the natural environment. My children particularly love getting involved in the garden. I really like the student lead learning that is so evident in everyday activities and lessons.
