### null review (5/5)

I spent about four months as a student teacher at DMCC from July to mid-Nov. 2025, and it was a truly wonderful experience. As my first early childhood centre, it set an incredibly high standard—something I only fully appreciated after experiencing other centres.

The curriculum is so well-planned, with plenty of engaging activities each month. What really stood out was how they made whānau a genuine part of the learning journey, whether through cultural celebrations or centre outings like trips to the zoo.

Most importantly, the teachers are just amazing. The love, care, and patience they show the tamariki every day is the heart of this centre. On top of that, there are also lots of learning opportunities for teachers to reflect, improve and learn from each other, which makes it such a supportive place to grow.

It's a special place, and I feel so grateful to have started my journey there. Thank you to the whole DMCC team!
