Testimonials and Comments
We knew that The Children's Corner was the right pre-school for our son from the moment we walked in
for our visit and now our daughter has also joined. No matter if it's the environment or the teachers it
made us feel welcome and part of the family. All the teachers are passionate and caring and goes above
and beyond for the children, nurturing them, guiding them and stimulating them to reach their full
potential. The children are learning the important values of respect, care, politeness, confidence and
independence during their time at school, and this will be an important foundation for them as they grow
older. We love how all the teachers are constantly communicating with us on the children's progress
whether it is their learning or emotional wellbeing. They genuinely care for each child as well as our
whole family. Our children look forward to going to school each day and come home each day fulfilled
and happy. They often surprise us with what they have learnt at school (knowing the names of the
planets to singing days of the week in maori). As parents we are continuing to learn how to raise our
children and the teachers at The Children's Corner provide wonderful support to us which I can never
thank them enough.
Charlie has been attending the Children’s corner for close to a year now. We chose the
Children’s Corner as it is a small preschool with fantastic teachers who have all been there a
long time. We love the Montessori approach and Charlie has come so far since he started at
the Children’s Corner. I am blown away with everything he has learnt in such a short time and it
is wonderful to see his confidence building. Charlie loves coming to preschool which makes
drop offs fantastic and we feel 100% happy as we know he is always in such good hands. The
teachers are fantastic, always warm and welcoming, we can’t recommend the Children’s Corner
enough.
We had never really heard much about Montessori before we visited children's corner but I
knew it was the perfect environment for my son the moment we visited. The Montessori
philosophy has nurtured his independence and confidence in leaps and bounds.
We will forever be grateful to the teachers who have supported Quinn's development. But more
than anything we feel like the teachers at TCC are our extended family who care so deeply for
all the kids and have created a safe, caring and fun environment. As a parent I feel supported
and happy knowing that Quinn is thriving under the Montessori teachings and have also
enrolled our youngest to start next year.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the children's corner to any parent wanting to give their child
a great start in Montessori
