kind words from our parents

Parent

Both my husband and I are satisfied with the care given to both our children.The staff were fantastic when our youngest changed classrooms and helped all members of the family with the move. Both children always have stories to tell about their days, and although they appear to have their favourite teachers I feel they are comfortable with all of the teaching staff. We are always well informed about the goings on at preschool and the development of the children.

Parent

Thank you to all who were involved in helping make my daughter the child she is today! Layla has grown into such a lovely wee girl and some of that credit goes to her teachers at BestStart Springlands. I am glad I chose to send Layla to ABC and will be back when I have more children one day. Layla has loved attending your pre-school.

Parent

Both my children started attending BestStart Springlands full time from about 16 weeks old. The teachers there made this transition easy and even offered to call each day with an update until they were fully settled.

Parent

The communication between teachers and parents is one of my favourite things about BestStart Springlands. They always update me on how the Kids day has gone and what they were involved with. They also structure learning goals around what my kids are showing interest in/struggling with and I have found this very beneficial in our home life to keep values and education consistent.

Parent

Both my children enjoy going each day and I would highly recommend BestStart Springlands to anyone.
