The Carnaby Kids program was convenient for me and lots of fun for my kids!
My children found the environment really inclusive, with the instructors listening to their needs and adapting activities to their skill level. It was a great first-time experience, and the kids are keen to attend again.”
Curtin staff member
As a parent I appreciate the well-organised and structured program, and the communication has been great.
I was a bit hesitant at first to leave my five year old at Carnaby’s – but she absolutely loved it. From her first day there she met new friends, loved the physical activity, enjoyed the coaches, and really had a lot of fun. She asks in advance of every holiday now if she can go to Carnaby’s!”
