The schools’ classes are divided into age-appropriate groups, each of which have their own corresponding play areas.

The business is ideally suited for an experience pre-primary school owner and operator, looking to acquire a well-established business, and or to grow their portfolio of schools. The current owner has been in the education industry for over 45 years, and now wishes to retire.
