As a new Kindy parent, I couldn’t be happier with our experience at York Public School. From the very first day, the staff have been so welcoming and supportive — they really go out of their way to make both children and parents feel comfortable and included.
The setting is absolutely beautiful, with plenty of open space, nature, and thoughtfully designed play areas that make learning and exploring a joy. It’s such a lovely environment for young children to begin their school journey. We can't imagine a better place for our child to start their education. Highly recommend to any family considering joining! — New Kindergarten Parent 2025

York has been incredibly supportive of my child’s individual learning needs.
