Colonel Light Kindergym

If you’ve got a baby or a toddler in Lower Mitcham, this place is worth knowing about. The program is genuinely well-run — they change up the themes and layout regularly, so kids don’t just zone out doing the same thing every week. There’s musical equipment in the mix too, which the little ones go absolutely nuts for. Staff are the kind that actually pay attention to the kids, which makes a difference when you’re wrangling a wobbly two-year-old. Parking’s easy enough, which any parent of a preschooler will tell you is half the battle.
