kind words from our parents

Alana Williams

Such an amazing centre! The teachers are amazing, caring, kind and they take the time to learn your children's needs and help out in any way possible. Best childcare I have ever found. My kids love their teachers!

Christine Vorster

Both my children have gone here, my daughter currently still there, while my son is now at school. What amazes me is the level of interest each staff member and teacher has about children, even after they have left. They love to see my son, as my son loves to see them, he always runs up to give someone a hug and tell them how his day at big school was. I am happy with the bond that was formed and would recommend this Kindy to anyone who is looking for the type of commitment and dedication I have experienced over the last 5 years.
