I cannot recommend Mina Lopato enough! From the moment we walked in, we were met with warmth and kindness. The staff are incredibly accommodating, friendly, and truly invested in each child's well-being. They go above and beyond to create a nurturing and supportive environment where children feel happy and secure. The facilities are top-notch—clean, well-maintained, and designed with safety in mind. They offer alot of extra mural activities that are different to other schools too (gardening, animal care - they have bunnies and chickens -, taekwondo and more! As a parent, nothing is more important than knowing my child is in good hands, and I feel completely at ease leaving them here every day. The teachers are attentive, patient, and genuinely passionate about what they do, making learning both fun and engaging. If you’re looking for a nursery school where your child will be cared for, supported, and encouraged to thrive, this is the place to be! 💖✨

Cannot recommend Mina Lopato highly enough. Both my kids have absolutely thrived there; a wonderfully nurturing, safe, creative and exciting environment. We’ve been through the school from the junior playgroup (18m+) right through to Grade 0 - all the teachers are gentle, kind and highly skilled. Just wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!

My 4 years old speech delayed and global development delayed daughter has been thriving at Mina Lo Pato since January 2024. She has been able to grow and learn so much in that environment. The dedication and patience of the teachers to each child's development is truly commendable. The beautiful school with its spacious facilities provide a great setting for her to flourish. I feel happy and uplifted whenever I visit the school. I will keep on cherishing these moments of growth and joy in my daughter's educational journey.

My son graduated from Mina Lopato last year a confident and well- rounded child prepared for grade 1. My daughter is still there and flourishing despite being shy and introverted. The school is nurturing, diverse and inclusive. The teachers are experienced and accommodating. The children are always put first. It has been an extremely positive experience for our children and for us and we feel lucky to have found this school.

Mina is a hidden gem in Greenside. All 3 of my children have attended even though there are schools closer to home. We’re more than happy to make the trip because there isn’t another school out there that has the warmth love and community feeling of this little Playschool. PLUS they have about a million extra murals, all of which happen at school! It’s a dream for me that I don’t have to shlep around in the afternoons. And the aftercare is amazing!
