Why visit the Education Fair?

Bringing together providers from every stage of a child’s learning journey under one roof, it is a one-stop shop for families actively planning their child’s education.

Choosing a school, kindergarten, or anything related to kids can be overwhelming.

Mix that with keeping the little ones entertained while you visit them all is enough to tip the calmest of parents over the edge.

So, we created an event where all the options could come together in one place!

Families can explore the many options and get a genuine feel for programs through demonstrations and face-to-face conversations.  Kids can try out various activities through workshops, hands-on demonstrations, and come-and-try sessions. 

All in a family-friendly, supportive space where tantrums happen, coffee flows, and there’s zero judgment.

Created by parents for parents, it is the best way to try out the many learning pathways for kids, with kids. 

All in a FREE fun-filled family day out!
