Play-Based Nursery School, Preschool with South African Roots


Mina Lopato celebrates diversity, curiosity, and kindness with deep South African roots and a Jewish soul.

We continue to create an environment that feels like home but also encourages children to seek out a greater understanding of the world beyond. We believe true education goes beyond academics to embrace all kinds of learning—and all kinds of learners.

Since 1961 Mina Lopato Nursery School has proudly served communities in Greenside, Rosebank, and beyond.

Mina is a hidden gem in Greenside. All 3 of my children have attended even though there are schools closer to home. We’re more than happy to make the trip because there isn’t another school out there that has the warmth love and community feeling of this little Playschool. PLUS they have about a million extra murals, all of which happen at school! It’s a dream for me that I don’t have to schlep around in the afternoons. And the aftercare is amazing!

My son graduated from Mina Lopato last year a confident and well- rounded child prepared for grade 1. My daughter is still there and flourishing despite being shy and introverted. The school is nurturing, diverse and inclusive. The teachers are experienced and accommodating. The children are always put first. It has been an extremely positive experience for our children and for us and we feel lucky to have found this school.

Cannot recommend Mina Lopato highly enough. Both my kids have absolutely thrived there; a wonderfully nurturing, safe, creative and exciting environment. We’ve been through the school from the junior playgroup (18m+) right through to Grade 0 - all the teachers are gentle, kind and highly skilled. Just wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!
