My husband and I moved our daughter here 8 months ago. She has done nothing but grow and thrive since we made the change. The amazing teachers and support staff do everything they can to foster your wants & needs for your child's learning. The centre is so warm and inviting, you'll always find that the jug is hot, staff are having a laugh/play with kids (even a dance), and the speaker is playing in the background. I couldn't ask for more as a mum. To know that my child is happy and being challenged/supported through play based learning.
Thanks Sam and Co for being amazing teacher's and people. Te Ara Maturanga is what it is because of you all.

This kindy is awesome with a great atmosphere and friendly, caring staff. Love the storybook app with pictures and videos of my son and his friends antics and what they're getting up to. Located perfectly on a safe road at the quiet end of town close to home. Couldn't have asked for more. 10/10
