Kimmba Play School

Great! My daughter really enjoy the class! She always looking forward to the class.

Absolutely. My daughter loves attending her weekly classes.

It’s easy to get to and doesn’t need long-term commitment like long daycares

Definitely! my son has the best time. Marie is amazing, so kind, caring and Brody loves to come and play. Amazing service!

Approximate cost: $30

My child is enjoying playing at Kimmba a lot. I’m away for 1 hour but my child always wants to stay and play longer. I totally trust the teacher to watch my child and will recommend it to any other mum !

My son loved the games & interesting method of teaching and the teachers were very patient and friendly. Venue was very convenient. Highly recommended!!

Very good and value for money. Big improvement !

During the play, children can easily speak simple English. I can see my child’s progress little by little, everyday. Kimmba sets a rich and abundant class content according to my kid’s interests and needs. The teachers can quickly attract the attention of my kid. From the beginning until now, I don’t see any weariness or tiredness in my kid. After just a week, he is taking the initiative to express himself in simple English,which is very good!

I like the language used as this give exposure to my son who refuses to speak Chinese with me at home. This structured Chinese learning environment also helps him to mix around with other children who don't speak Chinese. It is a comfortable learning environment for young children who don't already speaking Chinese to come and meet weekly. Highly recommended.

-individual learning program according to my son’s level and my requirement
-full feedback and full communication
-fun and happy environment provided to the kids

Very flexible, and lovely staff. We enjoy coming to Kimmba for play sessions

I like that the classes are small and tailored to my children’s needs to help their learning and development in the language

My daughter Niu Niu has made such a progress ever since she participated the English program and she is always happily coming to the class. She was born in China and came to Melbourne when she was already 3 years old. After she attended a few sessions, she came home with heaps of English words that really shocked us. Her excellent pronunciation, and her use of words are the evidence and the reflection of quality teaching from the teacher in Kimmba. There’s so much to put in here, I’m not going to list them one by one. All in all, if you would like your child to learn English and build an excellent foundation for his/her academic success, I highly recommended Kimmba Play School!!

We have had an absolutely fantastic experience at Kimmba and find the service and the staff to be invaluable and completely devoted to caring and educating our children. I don’t have family support, and so often leave the kids at Kimmba and sit at a nearby cafe to work. I usually don’t need much advance notice and so find it so convenient for short term babysitting. Very trustworthy staff. Thanks so much Kimmba. I would recommend to anyone and everyone!

My son went to Kimmba learning centre for 4 years and now attends Kimmba play school where he is learning Mandarin. The teachers throughout have been and are cheerful, energetic, caring and very professional at what they do; engaging students in active learning and making it fun. When I pick my son up he is always smiling and happy and I always get feedback on how the lesson went from the teacher and what he has learnt.
I couldn’t be happier at his progress

My daughter is two and a half years old. She was shy and didn't like to talk with strangers. After attending the class here in July last year, she has changed a lot. The teachers are very loving and friendly. They are also patient. My daughter likes the teachers and the class very much. Now she is very lively and outgoing and likes talking to strangers. Thank you very much for the change the teacher has brought to my daughter.

My 2 year old daughter is currently attending Mandarin toddler class at Kimmba Play School Southland. The classes are fun, engaging, and tailored to keep young minds engaged and interactive.

We didn’t manage to get a spot in time at Kimmba Daycare St Kilda, but glad my daughter still gets the chance to learn Mandarin with Kimmba Playschool Southland.

Marisha is the most enthusiastic teacher I have ever met. Her enthusiasm is contagious. She can engage the most difficult preschooler with her activities (ie my son). No other centre in Melbourne addresses the need for effective foreign language acquisition without tears in the preschool group like Kimmba does. I highly recommend Kimmba without hesitation.

We ( my 2.5 year old son and I) have been attending the Chinese play school since August 2017, and my son increasingly enjoys the play activities. The teachers are very friendly, caring, and well trained. It's also really educated at the same time lots of fun for little ones.

My daughter Shishi is 14 months old,and she take baby class every week.She enjoyed the wonderful time and learned baby art, which is a brand new thing to her.Teaching service is quite good ,appreciate for Kimmba School 's professional service.

Our daughter has been learning with Kimmba for 5 years. She looks forward to going, has fun and can readily have a conversation in Mandarin with strangers. We have absolutely no plans to stop.

Every morning, when my daughter wakes up, she asks, if it is Kimmba School day today, and she shows her disappointment when told it is not Kimmba School day. She started Kimmba's infant program since she was around 7 month old and continues to this day. We enjoy coming to Kimmba Play School and admires the professionalism and passionate towards the early childhood education the director shows throughout the year. Small class, dedicated teacher, and excellent program. What more can I say? Highly recommended.

We love coming to Kimmba Play School. My children call it 'Ni Hao' School. I guess this is because we always greeted with 'Ni Hao' the minute we walk in the door. Children having great time playing, and learning a new language: Chinese and wanting to come to the class as often as we can manage, which is rare. If you are after your child learning a second language successfully like us, you can't go by pass Kimmba.

1. The teachers at Kimmba are very responsible. After enrolled in AEAS Program, my child's English has been improving significantly.
2. Children gain improvement from various perspectives, for example, establishing positive attitude towards learning, acquiring comprehensive methods in studying, and developing great habits in thinking. Studying here also facilitates my child's adaptability to the new study atmosphere in primary school in Australia.
3. Director Marisha is very enthusiastic and passionate , always willing to help. She is very professional and very knowledgeable in various aspects of children's education.

Good for children to be exposed to a second language. It also gives parents a chance to have some time for themselves.

My son likes the class very much. Children play by learning the language . He plays and shares with all the children. I was impressed when in his second class he sang the songs. The teacher is excellent at teaching children.

Love these classes. The structure stays the same while the activities are varied; this allows my child to build on prior knowledge, while feeling safe in her learning environment.

We have been to Kimmba for almost a year. Kimmba has been such a great place and my kids love it so much. They can play and learn safely here with all friendly staff while I can try on new clothes and finish my shopping much easier! Strongly recommend!

Addison has had so much fun learning Mandarin with Elodie, Marisha and Jin. She is so comfortable there, I can now leave her. She is only 18 months olds and started a couple months ago, she already knows the rhythm of the classes, and is learning the key words and phrases eventhough she isnt saying them yet, she understands. She also enjoys playing with the other kids that attend. We will be continuing in the new year. I am also learning at the same time because we only speak English and Maori! I highly recommend the team and centre. Thanks team!

Our son, Christopher, can't wait to go to Playgroup at Kimmba Play School. And he is learning Mandarin well with an excellent accent. We highly recommend Kimmba Play School judging by our son's reaction!
