School in Christchurch

“Elim has been great for our daugter, who started there before she was one. The under-two's teacher was very good at helping her transition, and she now has a great time every day. One of the biggest benefits has been the great teacher to student ratio, as well as the consistency in the environment.”

“Kidsfirst Hawthornden is a wonder Kindergarten. It has a large outdoor area with a mix of modern and traditional play equipment for the children. The community at the kindergarten is strong, with many activities throughout the year which help bring whanau into the Centre and builds connection. My two children have both enjoyed their time at Hawthornden and I feel very happy to leave them their under the kind and capable care of the teachers. Highly recommend.”

“A heartfelt thank you to Abi’s Natural Horsemanship! We tried three different riding schools before, but only here did we truly learn how to understand horses and build conscious, respectful relationships with them. At Abi’s school, we finally saw horses not as identical animals, but as unique individuals with their own personalities and behaviours. My daughter and I have been attending lessons for three months now, and the progress in both of us is amazing. I’ve come to understand that a true horse rider is not the one who controls with words or a whip, but the one who earns the horse’s trust and respect. Thank you, Abi, for your beautiful approach, your patience, and your deep love for horses. Your school is something truly special.”

“A couple of ratings with these folks, one on a pretty complex and rare type. Experience and dedication of instructors evident - thanks partic to CJ. Highly recommend.”

“as a total novice and a pinch older than the instructor , I have been welcomed and treated with respect as I learn the basics and practice practice practice and learn the arts. I am also learning the respect in the arts to give back to the instructors , the ones that spar with me and the ones that come to support the new learners.”

“Great Korean Kendo Dojo. They are all very friendly and do wonderful kendo. I would recommend everyone to visit this dojo if they are into kendo and willing to start.”
