NEW HORIZONS PRESCHOOL REVIEWS

We’re actually a family, a New Horizons family because we’re making new friends and then if we only had one person they would be all alone, but at New Horizons we’re all making friends and that connects us and makes us a family.

New Horizons is special because people love each other here. I just love coming to school on my days. In my heart I feel it. I feel love for this school. It’s special because there are so many kind people.

I love New Horizons because everything is calm and beautiful. New Horizons is just a lovely school. New Horizons is basically a little home. A home of friends, but we aren’t related.

CHILDREN FIRST EARLY EDUCATION SOUTH HOBART REVIEWS

Our experience with Children First Early Education has been wonderful. The educators show genuine care and commitment when looking after the children at their centre. Our boy enjoys being at their daycare, he is great in painting & drawing, he also loves cars & trucks, outdoor play & animals, and the educators observed these interests as well. As a parent, it gives me peace of mind that the educators know my son’s personality and interests. I see it as a sign of commitment in providing high standard of early learning. Thank you to all the educators & administrative staff for your dedication. 5 stars & highly recommend them.

Sandy has been amazing at settling our son into daycare. He’s developed such a lovely bond with her. Would recommend this daycare centre. I am always kept updated through their portal what my child is up to and given a verbal handover during pick up. Overall I’m incredibly happy with children’s first.

My son is absolutely thriving since joining the centre. I could not be more grateful for the care and support he has received from all of the educators, Particularly Kira-Lee and Kenan who my son has noticeably formed a very special bond with.
