Excellent program to help kids with all aspects of school readiness. Led by wonderful educators. My 4 year old is thriving in this little classroom environment and always talks about “Miss Mel”. Highly recommend!
Such a great place for teaching kids the alphabet and reading. Staff are friendly and wonderful with kids would highly recommend it.
LaunchPad is such a good place to send your kids to. Teachers are passionate and nice. My son loves all of them. My son who is bilingual and has mild language delay enjoys LaunchPad a lot!!! It’s been his third term here. He improves a lot in all aspects, e.g pencil gripping skill, cutting skill, ability to concentrate and follow command. The other day, I did the bring-to-home exercises with him. I was so surprised that he can recognize some words now which I have never taught him before. And he told me he learned all these from LaunchPad.
Launchpad has been the best program for my 4yr old son and we are so grateful we were able to get in half way through the year. The educators are so passionate, nurturing and knowledgeable that they instantly made my son feel at ease from the moment he walked in. I am blown away with how much my son has learnt in such a short time – writing in lower-case, knowing all his sounds and sounding out words to spell them. The fact he is able to read short texts independently is a testament to the amazing learning launchpad has provided him with. I can not recommend this program enough. It has set the foundations for my son and I feel like he will go into prep so confident and ready.
From the very first phone call I made to enquire about this program, right through to the end of Term 4, I have been so impressed with Launch Pad. Danni took the time to explain the program in detail and the different options if my son experienced separation anxiety during drop-off, which really eased all my concerns. Then continuously gave advice and updates on my son’s school readiness – which was so helpful and appreciated. Each class is filled with joy, using fun and imaginative ways to keep the children engaged and excited to learn— I wish I could be a kid again so I can join this class! 😆 My son has thrived with the early exposure to literacy and it has truly inspired a love for learning within him. I recommend Launch Pad to anyone looking for a fun and enriching experience for their child!
My daughter absolutely loves Launchpad!!!! She’s usually quite reserved and had a big cry on the first day but within 10mins she was ok with me leaving and since then, Launchpad has been her absolute fav place to be. She can’t wait for her class every week and her recollection of everything she’s learnt there is greater than anywhere else she’s been or done. I don’t know what the secret is but that 1hr a week is very precious to her (and to me since I get 1hr to myself too 🙂 Miss Mel, Miss Danni and Miss Steph are magic and excellent educators. We talk about you guys at home all the time! Thank you for getting her school ready and so excited about learning. As a parent that’s very reassuring. I enrolled on a whim and recommended Launchpad to all our friends (but they’re still on waitlists)!!! That shows how great you guys are. Couldn’t recommend it more!
My son has taken part in both programs at LaunchPad, and we’ve had nothing but positive experiences. He’s made great progress with his fine motor skills, letter and sound knowledge, counting, and so much more. He’s become more confident, independent, and excited about learning. Over the years, we’ve had different teachers and they’ve all been exceptional – highly experienced, warm, encouraging, and really attuned to the children’s individual needs. The environment is always so welcoming and well-organised, and it’s clear how much thought goes into everything they do. I couldn’t recommend LaunchPad more for families wanting to give their child the best start before school.
My daughter Saige now 5yrs, loves Launch Pad. It was just meant to be something extra for her to do last year before starting 4yr old Kinder this year, but she loved it so much, she is still going. She goes to 4yr old Kinder & Italian Kinder. But Launch Pad by far is her favourite day of the week. Dani, Mel & the team are absolutely amazing. Saige has learnt so much more than I expected & is so ready for school thanks to the team at Launch Pad. I too have learnt so much from the team, that allows me to continue to help Saige to learn in a fun way. My only regret is that I wish I had discovered Launch Pad earlier so my older daughter could have attended. Thanks so much Lisa & Saige
Highly recommend! My son attended last year in the 4 year old group and now my daughter attends and both have come back home telling me what they have learnt at launchpad. The teachers have helped my kids with school readiness, recognising and sounding out the different letters of the alphabet, numbers, counting and working on strengthening there fine motor skills to help them write and so much more. It really helped my son transition to school this year more easily and be confident in his work and learning. The teachers there are so kind, passionate and care so much for children’s learning and are very approachable of any questions you may need to ask. Thank you LaunchPad!
My first experience with LaunchPad and Danni, began in 2017 when my eldest son joined her classes. My eldest son began school ready to learn and transitioned so well into the school environment. Next, came our middle son in 2019, he excelled at LaunchPad and embraced the learning that LaunchPad offered. Now our youngest son is about to graduate from LaunchPad, he loves meeting his new friends each week and happily shares all of the activities he has completed. He loves Miss Mel and is excited each Sunday night about the new friend he will meet on Monday. I could not recommend LaunchPad more, our three boys are so different from each other and the educators at LaunchPad have supported each of their individual needs. I highly recommend LaunchPad and am sad our time with them is over. If you are reading this and considering if to enrol or not, decision made, it is one of the best things you will do for your little learner.
It’s my Sons second year attending Launch Pad, Launch Pad has been a success in learning and developing my sons skills. Miss Mel and the team at launch pad are all amazing. Thanks to the classes at launch pad my son has learnt variety of skills he can carry over to prep and be ready, confident and comfortable. I highly recommend starting from a 3 year old program.
My daughter loves her LaunchPad days, she looks forward to them every week! We’ve seen a wonderful boost in her confidence with reading and writing. We feel she will be ready to start school with a strong foundation! Thank you Miss Danni and 🚀 LaunchPad team! …
Launchpad has been great for my 3yr old son. He quickly warmed to the educators who are very kind and caring. Their school readiness program has allowed him to become more familiar with letters, numbers and counting. He often talks about the sounds letters make, what they stand for and how to write them. He also frequently quizzes me on plussing numbers together. This has only come about since starting launchpad. He’s always eager to go to the classes, comes out with a big smile and is able to retell the letter of the week, it’s sound and what special object he pulled out of the mystery box!
Danni and the team run a wonderful program that is engaging and fun! My daughter absolutely loves Wednesday’s as its launchpad day! Watching her learn and adapt to routine and structure whilst learning something new each week has been wonderful to watch!
Both our children attended Launchpad and they loved it. Just recently our son said “I love launchpad, as you need to learn and they taught me my ABCs”. We highly recommend this program as it has really helped our children prepare for school, learn early literacy and numeracy skills and be confident to try new things. The teachers are very supportive and give great feedback to families so you know what to focus on with your child at home. Most importantly they make learning fun so the kids love going!
