“Linda and the Reach Forward team are absolutely amazing. Our family has had over five children attend, and each one has grown into a confident, capable, and school-ready child. We feel incredibly blessed to have had the support and care of Reach Forward.”

“My son and I have loved their inquiry based leaning. The subjects ranged from discovering about bees to temperature/weather, communication and water/pollution. This leaning scheme is very well thought out for children to take great interests and leaning in our everyday life, and make sense of their world. There were some leaning workshops for parents also as well as one on one meeting with teacher to make sure we are on the right track. For my physicality very active boy, the outdoor play space appeared to be a little small with minimal nature resources. But they often made their effort to take children out to nearby bushwalk, playground, library, supermarket and field trips. Teachers are very caring and skilful. They prepared my son for school very well. Flexible hours, reasonable fees.”

“Reach Forward is a early childhood centre that we can recommend highly. Our 4 year old is always telling us what she is has been learning and doing. The children do science experiments, sing and dance, garden, learn to read, go on excursions, cook, do art and crafts and much more. The teachers are warm, friendly and loving. This is a wonderful choice not just for childcare but for nurturing your child in a lifelong love of learning.”

“We really love the level of care, intention and input all the teaching staff have poured into our kids. We’ve seen evidence of their incorporation of faith and also excellence in literacy education. There was a rapid improvement in our children’s understanding of concepts introduced at the centre when they began and recall of stories and ideas that we want to foster in and around them. I felt my eldest was well prepared for school socially, mentally and developmentally. It forms a great base for the rest of their educational journey and development as a well rounded secure young person who knows the goodness of God! Thank you Reach Forward!”

“Reach Forward Warkworth, are a great daycare. With caring teachers who are personable and go the mile. There are three lovely rooms set up, with interactive learning stations. I am amazed daily, by new art projects on the walls and focused learning subjects. My daughter is so happy here, she has great friends and loves going. I would highly recommend Reach Forward to anyone looking for childcare.”
