Unique Unicorns is a private, family operated business committed to providing a 'Exceeding' standard of childcare for your family. Being a family business we are dedicated to your child's educational and emotional progression. To ensure our centre reflects these views, staff are selectively chosen based on their commitment to helping your child develop.
The director of the centre, Leanne Rebgetz, holds a Bachelor of Early Childhood Education Services and has been working in the childcare industry since 1994. Early Childhood Education has always been her passion and she enjoys helping children accomplish their educational goals.
Unique Unicorns also provides an Approved Kindergarten Program, which is run by a Qualified Early Childhood Teacher.
Unique Unicorns has an open door policy and Leanne's door is always open if you require a chat about your child. The staff also encourage you to be part of the program and regularly inform you of your child's progress. Your child's development is important to us, so it is vitual we communicate and share information on a regular basis.

Unique Unicorns is sensitive towards children with allergies and culturally diverse families and will endeavour to accommodate their needs.
Unique Unicorns went through the assessment process in September 2013 and received an "Exceeding" grading. As a centre owner and Director I am very proud of this result. The centre continually works on improving all areas of care and education we provide, this is evident in our Quality Improvement Plan which is continually updated by incorporating views and feedback from staff and families. Leanne has also received many testimonials from satisfied parents throughout the 10 years of the centres operation.
