What parents are saying

"Your outdoor area gives the children so much space to explore and enjoy. Its beautiful, interactive and outright amazing."

"I just want to praise you ladies for the amazing space you create for our children inside and outdoors. You ladies go over and above anything I've ever seen. The school has such a wonderful, colourful, bright, warm and loving atmosphere. My husband and I drove away this morning just talking about your amazing space you create for our kids to learn, play and socialise.

Thank you again for the awesome environment that you offer and work each day to maintain such an awesome space for our kids. It is our wee girl’s home away from home."

"Thanks to all of the teachers who are spending your time in teaching our kids and also passing on the passion and interest in learning new things, not just little bits but fully."

"A few weeks ago my boys met on the playground with a friend of theirs from Preschool. As all three sat together in the big swing they started talking about sharks and whales. Someone could have thought adults having a big discussion, serious and full of knowledge. Using specific names, facts and terms they had learned about. However, most importantly, with passion that showed their genuine interest in the topic and the things they had learned.

As a mother, seeing and hearing this made me very proud and smile. Thank you to all of you - it just shows your own passion and sincere interest in teaching and growing the Little people."

"Our daughter loved every minute of preschool and always came home full of enthusiasm and stories to tell."

"We would like to take this opportunity to express our appreciation to all Gulf Harbour preschool teachers. Now our daughter is settling in so well at the big school. Seeing the great progress she's made, Gulf Harbour Preschool has done a wonderful job and made a great start for our daughter’s life.

The activities you planned, the room you decorated, the friendships you have helped foster - it's all incredible. It's helping our children (and us!) believe that school is fun, which is incredibly important.

We highly recommend Gulf Harbour Preschool to anyone we know."

What educators are saying

Gulf Harbour Preschool children are certainly given a fabulous foundation as life-long learners and I appreciate that your team get the balance right.  

"As a New Entrant/Year One teacher, I directly benefit from the commitment and passion you all have for the children in your preschool.  The children who come to our classroom from Gulf Harbour Preschool are keen and enthusiastic learners.  

Your children are imaginative and creative thinkers who also have the practical skills children need at school, such as cutting with scissors or recognising their name.  

Adapting to life at school appears to be easy for preschool children from your centre, as you take the time to prepare them for important ‘school type’ routines such as taking turns and sharing at mat time.  Your children have excellent sitting and listening skills and they are articulate and excited to share their thoughts and ideas with their peers. Thank you for all you have done and continue to do, and congratulations on being such successful educators of our youngest learners."
