Institute in Upper Hutt

“I would like to say again what a wonderful place our twins visit every day. There is an ecological, harmless environment both inside the classroom and outside. We are delighted with the amazing variety of materials, toys, and pictures that are so interesting for children of their age. All of these promote the curiosity and imagination of our kids. They can touch, use, and play with everything, conducting different experiments with some of the items. I am amazed by the engaging activities offered to the children, such as painting with and without a paintbrush, dressing up, science experiments, Olympic games, and pretend play. For example, today you can be a caring mother for your doll, and tomorrow you might participate in a scientific experiment. One of the wonderful traditions of the center is visiting various public places where adults work, such as libraries and ambulance stations. These excursions are extremely exciting for the children, broadening their horizons and helping them understand how life around them is organized. I especially want to highlight the teachers, Gitika and Jaimee, to whom my children are very attached! I see their caring and attentive glances directed at our kids. I feel how these specialists, with great love for each child, manage and organize all activities, using their knowledge of child psychology at this age. I feel how they create an environment and activities that help develop each child’s abilities. These kind ladies carefully monitor the development of each child and sincerely rejoice in their successes. From time to time, we receive reports about our children's lives and achievements. These include wonderful photos of our beloved children during their activities, accompanied by warm words of joy, heartfelt admiration, support, and inspiration. It is incredibly touching that these letters are addressed to the child! This is a brilliant idea! We will save all the letters and read and reread them with our children! A big thank you to our administrators, Liz and Nakita, who notify us in advance and politely remind us so that we, the parents, don’t forget things in the daily rush. Our cook, Liz, does an incredible job preparing hot, delicious, and healthy breakfasts and lunches for the children, and we are very grateful to her for this! Thank you so much for your love and care for our children. This is the best place for them, truly a gem in the heart of our city!”

“We are more to a satisfied with the daycare. Our both children, the older son nearly 4 years and the little girl about a year old are attending the daycare daily. We love seeing laugh on our children faces when we go to pick them up. All the care givers are amazing. Their food is amazing. Clean and tidy place which is great for our children growth. My older son is learning many good things in daycare that we get surprised with. Overall, we got the best place for our kids.”

“this school gave me ptsd #beworthy”

“Absolutely the best dental experience I've ever had. I had the pleasure of being looked after by Ryan and Zoe at Art of Dentistry in Upper Hutt, and they were simply fantastic. From start to finish, the communication was clear, professional, and reassuring. They made me feel completely at ease, relaxed, not nervous at all, which is rare for a dental visit! Hats off to the team for their exceptional care. I highly recommend Ryan, his calm manner and expertise made all the difference. Keep up the great work!”

“Best school remember Goku solos even your dad that left you.”

“I couldn’t speak more highly of this centre. There is absolutely no other centre quite like this one and you are quick to realise this upon spending welcomed time there. The kids here get the opportunity to go on bus rides, make trips to the local super market to purchase foods to complement the food they have grown, learnt and hand picked in their own garden, they go on bike rides, learn about things that are important and current to our world, the list goes on and on. My daughters development is growing at a rapid rate and I honestly wish I could take all the credit for it but I know the large majority stems from P2. The teachers all know how to care, extend, and most importantly understand what works best for her. I believe that her needs would get lost in a bigger centre so it’s nice that numbers are kept low here. P2 is not just an early childhood centre, it’s a family where everyone is accepted and embraced, family’s are connected together, relationships are built and successes are celebrated. When our time here is up, we will walk away with some life long friends and connections. I am so thankful that my daughter gets to experience care like this. Again, I could not recommend this centre any more.”

“Lovely school with lovely teachers & management”

“children attended good atmosohere”

“Such an amazing kindergarten! We have two daughters - ages 6 & 4 -who have/do currently attend Birchville Kindergarten. The teaching team are fantastic - our eldest daughter is Type 1 diabetic and right from the start, they took it in their stride and made us feel so welcome! It didn't take long for them to learn how to take care of her extra needs and we had complete trust in their ability to keep her safe. Our youngest daughter currently attends and again, they are so great with her and create a warm, welcoming learning environment -we are very happy with our experience there! We can not speak highly enough of Birchville Kindergarten and would recommend them to anyone!”

“I cannot begin to say how Thankful I am that we found Kate Hey and Dare to be Dyslexic. My son came out of his last session and said 'They make me excited to learn'. That is huge for our family. Thanks so much team for your enthusiasm, for your compassion and your professionalism. I wish I had found you sooner.”

“A wonderful childcare provider in Silverstream Upper Hutt. The key focus at Children First is to provide a safe and friendly environment so pre- school children can learn. Children first do this very well with excellent staff who really care about their students' outcomes. All meals are provided and are healthy to provide a balanced morning tea, lunch, and afternoon tea”

“Great Kindy - awesome staff, atmosphere and a friendly community. Highly recommended.”
