Institute in Christchurch

“A long hard slog, but now, after 19 years I am still thrilled with the experience of the method of training. It was HARD but I learnt heaps about my personality, my response to the techniques I learnt, and the support given to me ( and ALL students) was one of the best experiences I ever had....hard at the time, but appreciate it now! This week I have been working with a P30something teacher and I fully realised how efficient our teaching is compared with folk from other providers. Unfortunately I was not able to graduate thru NZGSE, but the day I graduated from my training in Chch I never looked back. Enjoy your weeks at NZGSE....it's worth the tears and laughter! Lois and Kevin, I send my thanks to you for letting me become the person I am now...it was hard, but it was worth it.”

“UCIC my favourite place teachers and staff are the best. Friends as well so good there.”

“Rhyme & Reason are truly amazing. I think that’s all that needs to be said. For anyone thinking about it. They have the right combination of being detailed oriented, putting people in that are great with kids, creating an environment that the kids love, and making sure activities are both fun and educational. We, and our kids always look forward to the mornings.”

“Amazing kindergarten with great staff & amazing learning opportunities for young children”

“Cannot recommend more. A hidden gem ! Just the best pre school ever. The teachers are amazing, the facilities are incredible- it’s like a secret garden. Our wee girl goes there and will definitely be sending our baby there. Could not recommend more. Lots of extra activities, caring environment, friendly, encouraging. Lots of different cultural opportunities and close links to the university.”

“Has to be one of the best child care centres I've ever been to. The staff are always friendly and inviting and always happy to talk to. I never have to worry that something is wrong when picking up my child”

“A fabulous place where children have so much fun and laughter learning together through play. The teachers are caring and supportive working closely with parents as the tamariki start their kindy journey. The environment is engaging with interesting set ups that allow creativity and imagination to flourish ! In the school holidays my little one was waking up asking “kindy day now , kindy day now “ - to me that says it all. Thanks Beckenham kindy team, you are awesome!”
