Honestly cannot believe that there isn’t 100 5 star reviews for this kindy!
I cannot even begin to express how excellent the teachers here are. They are all so focused on working with the child and going at their pace with learning and social development.
We came to Port Charmer’s Kindergarten from a private preschool and the preschool we came from was awful- the teachers didn’t care about the children, busy and overwhelming environments and forever changing faces. But the day we moved him here we noticed such a drastic change in his behaviour, happiness and social development- These guys are absolute masterminds. Honestly wish that we found this place sooner!
They’re such a cool wee community and have regular outings which is so neat!
They have great availability here we have found- which is REALLY hard to find. They’re so open and flexible and we just love it here. Sometimes I have to fight with my son to get him to leave this place at the end of the day! Whereas at our first preschool he was counting down the seconds until he got to go home.
Coming from an ECE Teacher myself- after being at this place, I wouldn't trust anyone else with my child or be at any other centre. These guys deserve all the stars in the world!
