Educational organization in Hamilton

“I was just reading my little kinderdarten folder and I just want to appreciate how supportive this kindy was. Every kid is appreciated and looked after, and the staff made sure to do everything they can to help the kids learn and develop all theur skills. I am about to graduate highschool now and after reading my folder, I realise that art has always been my thing since kindergarten and the staff made sure to document every moment of it. I'm so thankful that I was sent here because if it weren't for all the staff, I wouldn't be the smart and creative girl I am now.”

“The best kindy in all of Hamilton. After looking around at a number of centres, the quality of Chapel Hill is far superior. First off, they actually have lawn, with an additional natural play forest area. The yard is very spacious and private, has a huge sand pit, and great playground equipment. There is plenty of shade to protect the kids from the sun, as well as plenty of space to ride the bikes! The classrooms are awesome. Really clean; everything is in designated areas, which is such great way to keep kids accountable for what they use. Majority of the equipment is wooden or natural materials, and all are open ended. The room never looks cluttered, but actually beautiful - Aesthetically pleasing to the eye. The toilets are user friendly, and spotless!! Never have I seen cleaner bathrooms than these. My little girl can actually independently access the toilet and bathroom, and have good hygiene. It’s a real sigh of relief. I have also been so impressed by the faith-based community! They are really intentional in including biblical principles and practices into the learning and daily routine. It’s reassuring to know that my child will be in good hands, and have Christian values shared with her. The best aspect are the staff. They have the perfect balance being busy cleaning and arranging activities, but also actually wanting to be with the children, taking the time to notice, engage, encourage and spend time with them on a personal level. Their openness makes everyone easy to approach, and Clare was so amazing in our enrolment process. All the staff just really care about the children, and actually look like they love their jobs. Thank you Chapel Hill.”
