Preschool in Oakville

Q: What makes your preschool different from city centres?

We combine the spacious, nature-based environment that defines Oakville living with the modern facilities and structured programs you'd expect from premium metropolitan centres. Our expansive grounds allow children the freedom to investigate and learn naturally, while our state-of-the-art facilities provide them with exceptional early education.

Q: How do you address safety in a semi-rural location?

Our extensive safety protocols are specifically designed for our Oakville location. We maintain rigorous standards that exceed council requirements while creating detailed emergency procedures for local conditions. Modern security systems and controlled access provide peace of mind without compromising the welcoming, natural atmosphere.

Q: Do you cater to families from surrounding areas?

Absolutely. We welcome families from across Oakville and nearby suburbs who value our unique approach to early learning. Whether you're near Old Pitt Town Rd or closer to the Hawkesbury River, our location provides convenient access with ample parking for busy parents.

Q: Is there a difference between your preschool and long day care?

Our preschool program is integrated into our long day care hours. This allows children to receive high-level Kindergarten education from 3 years old while providing parents with the convenience of extended operating hours.

Q: How do you track my child's school readiness?

Our Early Childhood Teachers use developmental checklists and portfolios to track progress in literacy, numeracy, and social-emotional skills, providing you with formal transition statements at the end of the year.

Q: Do you take the children on excursions?

We frequently utilise our expansive grounds for "on-site excursions" and occasionally organise local community visits to help children connect with the Oakville area.

Q: How does your nature-based curriculum work?

Yes, all educators at our Mulgrave centre hold current first aid, CPR, asthma, and anaphylaxis certifications, which are updated regularly according to national standards.

Oakville's wide open spaces, fresh air, and connection to the land aren't just a backdrop for family life, they're a powerful environment for learning. At Flourish ELC, we’ve created a purpose-built preschool designed to make the most of that natural setting, with expansive outdoor play spaces and nature-rich experiences woven into every day.

Inside, modern learning doesn't take a back seat. Rigorous educational programs, qualified educators, and state-of-the-art facilities give your child the structure, safety, and stimulation they need to truly thrive. In Oakville, you don't have to choose between the two. Book a tour or enquiry today.

Amazing owner, lovely staff. My child enjoys Flourish everyday!

Flourish Early Learning is such a nurturing, loving and fun environment for the children in their care. My son has been emotional at some drop offs, however the educators have been fantastic at providing him with the care that he needs to ensure that he feels safe and secure. When I pick him up he assures me that he has had a great day and is very excited to tell me about what he has learned and who he played with. Flourish have a fantastic preschool program, providing such wonderful learning opportunities for the children. We are very happy with our decision to be apart of the Flourish family! Would highly recommend to all other families considering this centre for their child/children.

Flourish Early Learning Centre Oakville is an amazing place! With wonderful staff who have kind heart and caring mindset! Flourish is very clean & very welcoming. The lovely educators really make an effort to engage the kids and develop them in a very individualised way. Amanda (the manager) is really committed to providing a safe, fun, and loving environment and I am very thankful for that! I couldn’t ask for a better daycare. THANK YOU SO MUCH AMANDA & THE TEAM!

My daughter has attended the nursery room since January 2024. We have had nothing but a great experience at Flourish. My daughter is excited to go to day care and she shares a special bond with her educators. The educators all seem to love working there and there is consistency with the staff, no frequent staff turnovers like I've seen at other centres. Amanda and the team at Flourish are actively involved in the community - running events and fund-raisers on a regular basis - which makes us feel like we are really a part of a special community. I'm so glad we made the choice to send our daughter to this centre.
