Testimonials

  • "To the best bunch of Kindy teachers in New Zealand-  Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being so kind, caring, lovely, patient and fun with my son. It's a big thing for a mother to be able to say good-bye to their child and know without doubt that he is in the best hands. For all the times you distracted him when I was leaving with cuddles; tied his shoe laces so he wouldn't trip; cut his apple for him; put plasters on his grazes and reapplied his sunblock- thank you! You have been a big part of his life. Being an early childhood teacher is a really important job; I admire each of you for doing it and being so good at it. I will miss seeing you all."

  • "We can't say a big enough THANK YOU to you all for giving our three children such a great preschool experience. You've been a little like an extended family to us, celebrating the good and being supportive during tough times! There have been many occassions where you have gone the extra mile for us and we've been so grateful. It's what makes Starfish so special and a great place to be part of- thank you! All of our children have wonderful memories of their Starfish days. Thanks for all your positive input into their lives."

  • "We would just like to say a special thanks to the team at Starfish for the wonderful job they have done with our four children who have attended the Centre over the years. Your daily efforts have let us know how much you cared and our children have truly benefited from your contribution and expertise. Thank you for inspiring  them and developing their love of learning. You are certainly an exceptional team of teachers."

  • "We couldn't have chosen a better pre-school for our boys. Your help, support and kindness over the last 3 years has been fantastic. Even when the boys had difficulty settling, you never gave up and we got there in the end. Richard and I will miss chatting with you all at drop off and pick up times too. The boys are already planning a visit to Starfish. Thank you for all the love, care and attention you have given the boys. Your pre-school is second to none!"
