About Sesame Lane Care and Kindergarten

Sesame Lane has been providing child care and education to families in the Moreton Bay Region for more than 30 years.

It was founded by Hilton and Lynda Misso in January 1988, the day they opened their pioneer service at Redcliffe with eight children and three educators.

Managing director Lynda has been in the role for 34 years. Before then, she was accounts manager for the family business Trilby Misso Lawyers.

Hilton made a promise to himself to be successful, following his father into law which brought success and opportunity in business but also a platform from which to give back and help others be successful.

He believes early learning between the ages of 0-6 years is the period of a human’s life when educators can have the greatest impact. He says it is a privilege to own a business in that area and education is the most noble industry to be a part of.

The Misso family is a known name in law, childcare, property and social purpose projects across the Moreton Bay Region.
