Kidsfirst Hornby is very good the teachers there are very caring towards the kids and their families making them feel like we are all one big family, my youngest still goes there and is learning so much. I'll hope that I can still help with all the fundraising when my youngest is longer there.

We were involved with Kidsfirst Hornby Kindergarten since my first born was two and sent my second child there as well. The place quickly became a second home to my children and they certainly miss it now since my youngest is at primary school.
The teachers are also very warm, friendly and professional. I love the way they engage with the children ( be it during reading, play or even in the kitchen), how they cuddle them when they are upset and the overall way how they deal and look after kids. I was always at ease knowing that my children are in good hands when they were in kindy.
With the support of teachers and their connection with the community we all managed to make a few lifelong friends while attending this kindergarten.
With Kidsfirst Hornby and their bicultural engagement both my children learned to appreciate Te Reo Maori and has grown a hunger for other cultures as well as languages. (those who are not aware they created a song which says hello in many languages)

Their indoor and outdoor flow gaves the kids many opportunity to engage in varies activities they have setup for the day. The classrooms were always well resourced providing many learning opportunities while their big backyard with gardens thought them ways to take care of our environment.
