Our Story

We are here to help parents raise happy and healthy children.

At Okidoki Kidz play-schools, we are committed to providing exceptional care and education, focusing on the holistic development of our preschoolers educationally, emotionally, physically, and nutritionally. Our comprehensive program is designed to nurture both fine and gross motor skills, giving each child the tools to thrive.

We believe that a healthy, balanced diet is essential to a child’s physical and cognitive growth, which is why we provide nutritious meals that support their development. Additionally, our facilities are equipped with internet access and CCTV monitoring, offering parents peace of mind.

In our safe, home-like environment, our fully qualified staff are dedicated to the well-being and progress of every child. The founder of Okidoki Kidz, Michelle Stadler (B Phys T, PTA), a qualified physiotherapist and mother of three, has a vision to help children discover and develop their inherent talents and skills. Drawing from years of research and experience, Okidoki Kidz recognizes the importance of outdoor play, music, and creative arts in enhancing motor skills and promoting well rounded growth.

Our daily routine includes a variety of activities that encourage independent, creative learning in a nurturing and secure space. Okidoki Kidz play-schools are equipped with safe playgrounds, child-friendly classrooms, and educational toys that inspire curiosity and development.
