“I have been a reliever at many schools in Christchurch over the last 3 years. Parkview is one of my favourites. I have found the children to be respectful, active learners, and it is a pleasure to teach in a school where the staff and children are friendly, supportive and caring. Having a balance of men and women teachers, older experienced teachers and young recently trained teachers provide the children at this school with good role models and educators with a range of skills and knowledge.”

“This is for the Kindergarten. For years ive searched for a good kindy for my kids ive settled on this ine. We sid have a little misunderstanding and a miscommunication at the begining but we've gone over that and cleared the air. I picked this Kindy because they are clean and they keep up with it all day every day. The setting is super the ladys are understanding and qualified, they are spoilt with plenty of support teachers that will take the load off looking after the childeen so you know your kids will have an eye on them most times. Also the setting is quite good, flat settings with quite safe stairways leading outside, mostly covered play area outside, they keep the sand pit clean and tidy by picking up the toys everytime the kids have finished playing with them, if your child has ezcema i tell you it wont be so bad so relax the toys are always picked up and aired, supervision is a must at the water pump area. There is always someone outside with the children. The lunches are put in the fridge, ive seen the lady prepare the morning tea so relax its quite safe for the kids, the head teacher Jill is always onto it with the hygiene side of things, everyone there has a role and im happy. The girls are friendly, i find you just need to communicate openly its the only way they will know more about you and your child. So if youre someone like me who has OCD and cleans their house with bleach sending your children out to the world will be hard but to feel normal at it this Kindy gives you a piece of mind. Of course at the beginning my child was always sick but getting education from Drs and the education board/ministry helps you understand that its quite normal for your kids to get sick at the begining with viral infections, and it'll be worst if you struggle living with OCD. So for us who has this problem take it from me ive found what works in my situation, right now we are quite at home with this daycare. We find with everywhere you go Communication is always key. Good luck on choosing a daycare for your child though but this one is good. Ill say its the best even though its in Otara. Trust me ive tried Ormiston with the fancy things but it just didn't work for us. Neither circumstances nor surroundings can bring contentment. Only by fitting ourselves to meet conditions as they are, we must see not the location but the people who coukd make a difference and add to your childs journey through life, so chosing a good day care is a must for your child.”

“What a fantastic place for new entrants. They seem to have walking school bus so that kids can have a work out instead of being dropped off. There used to be parents etc writing numbers of cars dropping g kids off on the driveway. Maybe a good idea to park safely far away. Make your little walk it and get a bit of exercise and fresh air.”
