What Other Parents Have to Say
We absolutely love Mother Duck Lawnton and most importantly, our children love it. Caring, thoughtful and organised staff make all the difference here. We would certainly never consider anywhere else.
The Mother Duck family provides a caring and supportive learning environment for my children. I could not be more thankful for the genuine and friendly approach of our children& educators.
I would like to thank the staff of Motherduck Lawnton for the care and developmental help that has been provided for my son. The Mother Duck environment will give my boy not only a good foundation but many happy memories for years to come.
