### null review (5/5)

The teachers are amazing and so welcoming. My children love spending their days playing, learning and exploring in this environment. Would recommend this Kindergarten to anyone looking for a place away from home for their children to go to play, learn and be themselves.

### null review (5/5)

So blessed that my boy gets to come here. The finest teachers, the coolest centre ever. You walk in, and you can sense the kids contentment and peace.

Our 4 Tamariki have attended Garaway Kindy for the past 12yrs, this was our final year with our baby turning 5. Kindy has been such a huge part of our Whanau's journey and one we are so grateful for. They have been able to adjust to each of our childrens needs and wants, and supported us when we've needed it. Thanks Garaway! We will miss you guys
