okeedokee mission
We live an attitude of committed care
We are motivated to inspire growth
We will surpass expectations
Our choice in sending our daughter to Okeedokees to attend the kindergarten program could not have been better! From day one, we have been greeted with a warm smile from the director and all the wonderful staff.
The level of care provided is beyond exceptional, they are caring, patient, compassionate and most of all very friendly. Our daughter has developed in so many ways, demonstrating new skills and talents in all areas of her learning, has made many new friends and has grown into a young lady socially.
I love the vast amount of educational, physical and emotional and artistic activities the children are exposed to on a daily basis which has been evident in our daughters learning. Okeedokees is definitely a childcare provider I would recommend to anyone.

I cannot recommend okeedokee enough. From the moment my little boy joined, I knew he was in safe hands, we were greeted on our first day by his educator who came straight over as she saw us come in the playground she was so warm and caring my usually shy little boy went straight to her.
Over the weeks I met his other teachers in the room and they too are always open for chat and I have no hesitation in talking with them. The program is just amazing and his educator is so generous with her time programming in any specific elements the parents and children need.
Observations and daily routines are available on line, perfect for those in a rush at pick up and drop off.
My little girl recently joined the bubbees room and the staff too are fabulous - they are matching Islas home routine and give plenty of cuddles and snuggles.
The Director is always on hand if you need anything and so approachable and friendly.
If you are looking for professional, warm and welcoming care for your children you really can't look any further than okeedokee.

The fabulous staff at Okeedokee have created a lovely, warm and collaborative environment for our children. I have regular contact directly with my sons’ carers and I am confident that all points of interest are passed on to me, no matter how insignificant they might seem.
The centre is very committed to building a community approach to child care and this is evident in the activities they conduct that include parents and other family members. There is also a strong commitment to learning outcomes and encouragement and support for each child to reach their full potential.
