WHAT PARENTS ARE SAYING

Each morning our son looked forward to his day at kindy, where every day brought a new adventure. He could be an artist, an explorer, a carpenter, a scientist, and sometimes a cricketer! Most days he returned home in a completely different outfit than the one he left in, his wet bag serving as evidence of all the fun he had. We know that he felt truly sad to say goodbye to his hoa and kaiako at Te Atatū South Kindergarten. Each night he sleeps with his manaaki stone under his pillow and carries it in his school bag as a cherished keepsake. We are so grateful that his memories of Kindy are ones he can treasure forever, filled with laughter, learning and friendships, that will stay with him.

Child quote: “I like making stories, my teachers help me”. My daughter is a storyteller. She loves drawing. I’m really grateful that her teachers have noticed this interest and continued to support her. She is absolutely thriving at Te Atatū South Kindergarten. This is only possible because the teaching team prioritises relationships. This is evident in the way the teachers notice, recognise and respond to their learning. They do this genuinely with such care. My husband and I appreciate all that they do for our daughter.
