kind words from our parents

Parent

Highest appraisal to this center, I have found that all children who are currently attending love this center and the relationships they build with one another. Highly recommend for everyone. Family environment.

Parent

My big girl started here when she was 18 months. It was my first time having to choose a day care and I needed to make sure my taonga was going to be safe in their hands. From the first phone call they made me feel at ease, answering questions from teacher-child ratio, sleeping arrangements, nutrition etc.. All answered at a high standard. I loved how easy it was to transition my big girl into a new environment and they welcomed my baby with hearts and arms wide open. Each day I saw her confidence grow. She is fiji-indian Maori (My Sa-maor-dian) and love how she is getting the best of all languages that is connected with by blood. She is now 3, and is speaking very clearly and precise. She can identify her name everywhere and knows how to write the first 2 letters of her name. She knows over 15 songs and rhymes in 5 different languages. We also have our 2 year old girl who is learning fast as well. Our 2 year old didn't like being around too many different people but is now a confident, outspoken lol human. Loves to dance and especially loves the sensory activities. On that note, if you want the best for your child you need to place your child with the best. Do not hesitate.. Call them today!!
