I would just like to say a massive Thank-you to all the educators in this centre that have been apart of Ayla-Mae and especially Sophia time within their care.
I can not fault any educators or staff members, as our experience has been a joy!
I am especially grateful for the educators in the Gum nuts room, for all their hard work, love, nurturing nature and care. They have all played a huge role in Sophia life and development and I know they all hold a special place in her heart.
Ayla-Mae time was only short at the centre but I am also so grateful for her educators for their love they showered Ayla-Mae in and supporting her growth / development.
It always felt so beautiful to walk through the centre and have educators I didn’t know nor recognise acknowledge Sophia, either seeing her off or welcoming her to the centre, it is a beautiful gesture that all the educators know each child on some level or another.
So Thank-you all, to all the staff and educators, your hard work has never gone unnoticed, you are greatly appreciated and our memories within the centre will be cherish.
Kind regards - Olivia.

To Whom It May Concern,
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the staff at Erina Kindy in the Gumnuts room for their care and consideration over the last 12 months. Our little boy has blossomed since being at the centre, and we are sad to be leaving due to us moving out of town.
Thank you.
Kind regards, Chloe Corbett

Dear Alex,
We would like to particularly acknowledge Marney, Caitlin, Sienna and the staff in Bushbabies for such warmth, fantastic care and nurturing of Felicity in that room, and for the staff in Gumnuts making the recent transition as smooth as possible.
We would also like to particularly acknowledge Jennie and Cass in the Biblies room for their care, support and expertise in managing James' developmental challenges and recent diagnosis, and the rest of the staff encouraging him to work towards his goals. James will most certainly miss the community at Erina Kindergarten.
Kind regards, Ellen & Ben Marlow

Dear Mel, I just wanted to express my gratitude to all of the staff at Erina Kindergarden especially all the wonderful educators in the Snugglepots team who have been so welcoming, friendly and caring on a daily basis. I am always greeted with a smile from every staff member in the centre which is truly heart-warming and really makes my day. I have enjoyed being a part of the community this past 1.5 years and would hope that when we do return to Australia, Martin can return back to Erina Kindergarten (pending availability).
Thanks,
Louise

I'm writing to express heartfelt appreciation for the exceptional team at Erina Kindergarten. The approachable management and dedicated educators create a supportive environment where children thrive. Their passion for teaching, commitment to continuous learning, and proactive approach to resources ensure high-quality education. Additionally, their open communication, cleanliness, and enriching festivities make it a truly outstanding institution. Thank you for everything you do for our children.
Sincerely, Sarah Goldsworthy

Hello Erina Kindy staff,
I would like to say how impressed I am with the lock-down the other day when that horrible offender was causing chaos. It’s great to know how well potential harm to the children was addressed.
Thanks,
F Clarke
Thank you to the team at Erina Kindergarten. Unfortunately, we’re relocating to Sydney and unable to continue our journey with Erina Kindergarten. It makes me so sad, the girls love it here and you have all been wonderful throughout the ups and downs, a big thank you to you all.
Tahlia
I wanted to say a huge thank you to all the educators, (especially Sky, Emily and Christine, and previously Chloe) for their amazing dedication, expertise and care in the Snugglepots room. Jack formed great relationships with them, and their care helped him be brave and adjust to leaving mum and dad and starting out in the wide world in his own.
We look forward to the prospect of enrolling our youngest daughter at Erina Kindergarten in September.
Belinda
We just wish to again say thank you for having Johnny. The teachers and staff in the Bush Babies room and the school in general have been amazing since the beginning and we are very grateful that Johnny was able to start his daycare experience in such a great environment.
Thank you again. All the best.
Kind regards

We have received some excellent service from your staff, Miss Mandy is always exceptional and greats you with a smile and spends time with us, talking about Rowan’s day. Miss Kris, the trainee in the gum nuts room has been amazing, always has a comprehensive review of Rowan’s day, so polite, well mannered and professional! Miss Kris went on an extensive search high and low for Rowan’s bottle. She is an asset to the Erina Kindergarten.
Above and beyond service the past few days from Miss Kris, well done and thank you.

Just a quick note to say a massive 'Thank you' for everyone's hard work last week to create some very special mother's days for the mums of the Central Coast.
I was overjoyed with the personalised gifts from my sons, Cooper and Rory Oei. It was absolutely magical and brought a tear to my eye!
I am always amazed at how creative the educators are and how they inspire our kids to learn and thrive at daycare. I am truly grateful for everything that you do with our kids. Cooper has really flourished since being at Erina and Rory is about to become a terror for the Bush Babies room as he's almost mastered walking independently!
Again, thank you so much, you all do an incredible job and never seem phased by the challenges the kids throw at you!
Cheers

We are so thankful for all the teaching and support you have shown our daughter. The teachers at Erina kindergarten are fantastic that nurtured her through low times and laughed with her through high.

I wanted to also say how much we have enjoyed our time at Erina Kindergarten. When we started, Miss Teya was just taking on the Room Leader role and over the past 18 months it has been amazing to watch how she has grown as a leader. For someone of her age to be able to have often really challengning conversations with parents is so impressive, not to mention how she interacts with and is respected by the kids. Miss Eva has been such a comforting constant for Max. We often see her at our local shopping centre and he squeals with excitement seeing her out and about. Finally Miss Abby, who is no longer Max's room educator, but who we still see around the centre has been such a beautiful support for Max as well. He adores her.
All of the educators have been incredible and I can't express enough how much I appreciate how they have cared and taught our Max over the last 18 months.
Thank you and take care,
Julie

Dear Erina kindergarten management team,
Alfonso has enjoyed his time at Erina Kindergarten very much, and my husband and I have been impressed with your caring and professional approach to childcare. Thank you so much for all you have done in making our little one comfortable, cared for and safe and for being very flexible with our payment arrangements.

I would like to thank everyone who has been involved in the care of our boys over the last 2 years. The boys have made many friends and created many memories during their time at Erina kindy.

Just wanted to pass on our compliments for Miss Hanna in the Bilbies room.
While all the educators are great, Hanna has given Logan an extra level of care and attention, providing the safe haven his shyness has needed. We can see he is already putting in place the social tactics she has helped build for him. She has made dropoff and pick ups a much more positive experience for both him and us.
Thanks

Dear Kelly,
I also wanted to just also say a huge THANK YOU and show my appreciation for all of your help this year and the last two years during sonnys time at Erina Kindergarten.
This is, was and always will be the best childcare centre experience we have both ever had and you being so great, and attentive going above and beyond at your job has made his transition from daycare to preschool and then kindergarten has made the biggest difference for me in my life and for sonny and I as a small single parent family.
Am so grateful for all the hard and dedicated work you do to support children and families here at Erina Kindergarten!
Thank you kindly 🙂

This Kindy is next level amazing! I cannot rate it highly enough. All the educators are incredibly attentive, loving and compassionate. The centre has a large vege and herb garden for the children to gather from, bunny hutch and a hen house to collect eggs, a yoga space for mindfulness. The centre goes to a HUGE effort at festive seasons and provide experiences that my son wouldn’t get at home, such as viewing the inside of a fire truck or watching baby chicks hatch. My almost 4 year old has developed wonderful manners and courtesy since starting at Erina kindy and loves attending. We cannot thank you enough for all that you do in making the children’s first years of life so special. You all do an incredible job and I am so thankful. Kiki x

To all the Beautiful Educators and staff .. right across the Board, that care for my boys Tyson and Eli.
Upon starting kindy, Tyson was often upset , so the teachers suggested to send in photos of the family. To which they made a beautiful book so he could feel “home” and “family” was with him. Thank you for your Kindness and creativity to care for his little heart.
I/,we think “all the staff“ are hand picked, and suitable to their calling, at Erina Kindy, caring and educating all the little babies and people. Thank you everyone for your time, skills, efforts, wisdom and love!
Some highlights and interactions that are special to us…
Miss Jenna - “Eli’s twin” .. your animation, confidence, super cuddles and relational skills with Eli have been gold. Guiding him the right way, And elaborate updates on our “little nugget”. Thank you.
- Miss Kaitland, your kindness and gentleness and compassion making Eli’s birthday in March hanging balloons up when he’d just arrived to Erina kindy, was unexpected and much appreciated .
- Miss Ella and Kya-Bella you’re cuddles and sharing your chicken knowledge and skills with Eli.
- Miss Poh-We , your elaborate reports and exceptional educational skills, Tyson has now educated me on the names of all the planets (which I had forgotten lol) and his goal now has exceeded counting to 20.. and moved into counting to 100!!
- Miss Rhie , what can I say other than , “that Glorious smile” that lights up a room .. the whole Erina Kindy!!.. I just like to see Miss Rhie for her sunshine smile!!. and your Constant kindness and updates on Tyson.
- Miss Jo with her beautiful, caring nature and presence, elaborate updates, wisdom and loving cuddles.
- Miss Kate, Miss Tani, Miss Hannah for welcoming Eli into the Bilbies that he wakes every day now, skipping outta bed (he’s been “promoted”) ..engine running.. to join all his mates and do “big boy stuff” with the team!
- Miss Kristie your big smile, cuddles and relational skills and excitement seeing the boys.
- Miss Kelly, you’re Understanding, compassion and radiant smile that welcomes the families to the centre, and footy talks are gold. And supporting me in numerous ways with a broken leg, in this very Challenging time.
- Mr Chris & Mr Matt - you’re Outstanding maintenance skills, that keeps the centre looking beautiful, immaculate and safe for all the children and families. And Mr Chris offering his blower to Tyson and Eli to help settle the boys into their day at times they were anxious and his morning “G’day Buddy!” Is special indeed.
- Miss Anna, your exceptional cooking skills . Thank you for nourishing my boys, and my teenagers would like to enrol at Erina Kindy.. just for your delicious food and comprehensive menu!
All the staff are special, and unique. And all have gifts and talents to bare and impart into the centre . So thank you each and every One of you!
We Are Truly blessed!
Tyson & Eli
Both Rie and Joanne have been so caring towards Mason in the Koala room. In the mornings they are always there with a big welcome and a smile making drop offs much easier on Mase (and myself ha!). It's really nice knowing I can leave for the day and trust that Mason is in such caring and attentive hands. A big thank you to both of you!!!
Ashlea

I would really like to say another special thank you to Miss Poh-wee...
Like Jenna, Poh-wee has been so supportive and protective of the boys when it comes to the family situation and for that I am so grateful! Poh-wee has had such an impact on Mason's development this year after spending the time to engage with him and develop individualised ways of improving his various skills. I really appreciate the level of care and attention she has shown Mase and he often comes home speaking positively about what Poh-wee has taught him that day. Knowing he feels so safe and happy in her care makes me such a happy mama. Thank you so much Poh-wee, the boys and I adore you!

Dear Erina kindergarten,
It's really hard to single out one Educator ,they all do such a great job. And the culture at Erina kinda is amazing. And the activities the girls do for the kids . They really put in a 100%.
I would like to say though ,Jenna has caught my eye a few times . She is really switched on not much gets passed her. For example
She would be caring for one child then behind her a little disagreement between 2 other kids would start up and Jenna would be straight on to it, I have seen this quiet a few times and I've noticed She always talks to the kids in a caring way and I really appreciate that. I also remember another time a little boy tried to sneak out when Anna and i were leaving and it was a busy day, kids every where . But Jenna was on to it again. As I was walking away I heard a little bit of the conversation she had with the little cheeky boy and it had to be firm and Jenna didn't in a really good way .
And I remember thinking to myself my little girl is safe here .
We are great full for her and no doubt she a valuable educator there amongst her peers as well.
Kind regards
Matt and Giao and Anna

Dear Team,
For Educators Day I would like to thank the amazing educators in the Bilbies room, especially Tani. You have been so supportive with Oscars language development & helping him settle into the Bilbies room. He loves coming to school everyday & I can’t wait to see how he develops over the rest of the year.
Also a big thank you to Brittany in the Bush Babies room for reassuring me on Indies first day (I was so nervous!). The whole Babies team are just so wonderful & I feel so confident leaving Indie with you.
We appreciate all of the educators at EK not just on educators day but everyday!! THANK YOU!
Kind regards,
Rachel, Anthony, Oscar & Indie 🙂
On Educators Day
Would love to leave some feedback about some educators 🙂
Firstly for the Emu's...
They have been incredible since Hunter moved across. You feel very welcome as soon as you walk in the gates with any educators you come across on the preschool side greeting you with a big friendly smile. Miss Rie was Hunter's educator when he first started & will always go out of her way to say hi to us & see how we've been even though she isn't his educator anymore. Miss Teya is always organising so many things for the kids to do & Hunter always has a blast, she is very knowledgeable & professional. My biggest shout out goes to Miss Eva, it has been a big year for Hunter with ill grandparents, house renovations & welcoming a new baby brother. Miss Eva is consistently communicating with me so I know how Hunter is going, always asking how things are at home for him so we can work together for him. They have formed a special bond, Hunter is always so excited when we arrive & he sees her.
Bushbabies..
All of the educators were always so friendly & welcoming & I could see Harry was really happy in there. Miss Cass & Nikita especially, they made Harry's start in daycare a great experience & made drop off bearable.
Gumnuts..
Miss Mandy & Miss Ella have been there for drop off & have been friendly & help with Harry transitioning which has been great. Miss Jenna has been good with communicating how Harry is going with his transition in to his new room. We have only been in here for a couple of weeks so am looking forward to getting to know them all better!
Thanks,

All of the educators are so standout to me. Zoë had additional goals and needs and I see the true effort (and time) that these girls make to help her learn and develop. I also see them as being extra “intuitive” when it comes to Zoe, which is not standard in my view - Zoe is not verbal so it’s not as easy yet I can see that they have taken the time to get to know her and really have learned a lot about her from observing and engaging with her.
Please pass on my thanks I’m very grateful.
Kind regards,
Corinne

Ollie started Daycare at 4 months old. In the last 8 months, there has not been a single day that he has refused to go to daycare. He walks in with the biggest smile on his face and immediately gives the first educator in sight the biggest cuddle.
As a First time parent, the dreaded daycare drops off have become our favourite part of the day. Ollie is so comfortable at school and absolutely adores each and every educator. Miss Nikita often gives advice to myself to help with challenges at home, and without a doubt every educator yells "OLLIE!" when he arrives, making him and myself feel SO welcome.
They have helped Ollie achieve every milestone and we know he is super busy at school because he doesn't even make it out of the car park without falling asleep.
I can not wait for the day he can tell me all about his day because i'm sure it will be incredible!
So, Thank you to the Bushbabies educators. You truly brighten all of our days, and we are incredibly grateful for your support.
From Oliver's mum and dad.
Ollie
Just wanted to say thanks so much to the team at Bush Babies for being so welcoming to My Son Arthur Gorrie.
Hes had a great time with all of you so far the environment is great and its a true testament to you all.
Really appreciate your hard work in teaching him so enthusiastically and keep up the great work!
Cheers John and Lucy Gorrie

Huge thank you to every single teacher , and other staff who are looking after Rio in the gumnuts! We feel so lucky to have you all- you are doing such an amazing job and will forever be such important people in our kids lives. Xxxx you should be celebrated every single day . Linn and Martin
Linn & Martin
We would love to say a special mention to all the wonderful Educators in the Bush Babies Room - you make Thomas feel safe and welcome and I have never had an issue with dropping Thomas off in the morning (actually, most can attest that he leaps into the room ready to play every day he attends!).
Special mention to Miss Britt and Miss Jess who Thomas just adores. They both go above and beyond with Thomas and although every single Educator does such a wonderful job, those two special ladies have made the transition for me being a first time Mum, and a Mum returning to work and having to leave my baby at daycare, so much easier. I know he is looked after, and cared for, to the highest standard!

Hello,
I just wanted to provide some feedback. The last few months have been great for the kids.
Miss Teya is amazing. She gets so involved with the kids and is always actively playing with them. Always good feedback for the day with specific things that they did. Jacob suffers from anxiety and working with a speech therapist and a psychologist so it’s great to give feedback from Teya to them. She takes the time to make sure he is comforted in the morning and I feel like she genuinely cares. I don’t really know anyone else in the emus class. I do miss Miss Christina as she was awesome as well.
The babies group are fantastic. Everyone in the room is great and I feel like they all have a great connection with James. Miss Cass always seems to go the extra mile and is so good with him. They all are so nice and can’t fault them at all. More pictures would be nice but that would be the only thing that needs improving. I love coming into the room and all the teachers are having a great time with the kids.
There has been a great improvement with cleaning and both classes have great teachers but feeling really positive about the boys going everyday.
To be honest, the last two years I wasn’t to thrilled especially snugglepots room last year but now I can’t stop recommending the centre.
So sincerely thank you all for looking after the boys as it’s hard work!
Thanks

Very happy with the care our son receives at EKG. The staff are so friendly and kind. Lots of fun activities for the kids. Love the updates throughout the day via the app. My son is happy and well cared for here.

Hi EK,
I just wanted to share that I was thinking of moving Cobie to a pre kindy centre next year. I enrolled her and everything, however, over the last couple of days I have done a change of mind and can’t bring myself to leave Erina Kindy!
The stories from Miss Eva and Miss Teya have been so appreciated and I’ve loved seeing the kids have access to so many awesome toys & facilities…but more importantly have the freedom to play! The centre I was looking at looked like a Kindy classroom and the kids were expected to do specific activities that were scheduled, leaving little room for free play. I really love the programs at EK and the play-based approached (with a little bit of intentional teaching) is just what we want for Cobie.
So thank you!! That’s really all. Hahah. Please pass on to the Emu educators if you can!
Kind regards,
Lauren

We wish to thank your centre and all of the wonderful teachers that have cared for Oliver over this period of time at the centre & appreciate the great care and support you have provided him.

Dear Erina Kindergarten,
My five year old son, Isaac, has been attending the Koala Room at Erina Kindergarten since the beginning of this year. He has attended just two days a week (Monday and Friday) in an attempt to get him school ready - and I am amazed at just how fabulous your provision has been!
Despite a long Covid lockdown where he isolated at home with our family, Isaac has loved every minute of his time with you. He is happy, confident, sociable and very attached to his educators, especially Miss PohWee and Miss Brooke (who he has a particularly strong bond with). I am so grateful to all the preschool staff for their nurturing care and really appreciate their efforts in giving Isaac such wonderful early childhood learning opportunities. I couldn't have asked for a more dedicated and hard working team of educators!
So, thank you for everything you have done this year to prepare my son for "big school"; for the fun and engaging learning opportunities you have provided; for the genuine love and care you have shown; and your commitment to making Erina Kindergarten a truly outstanding centre.
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year!
Warmest regards and sincerest thanks,
Sarah Humphries

Dear Erina kindergarten management,
We want to take this moment to thank you, and ask that you pass our compliments onto the staff.
Erina Kindergarten has played such an integral part in our boys development.
The relationships that the boys formed with the educators, shows such an outstanding level of commitment to education and quality of hiring. There is such a huge difference between just supervising (shown at other centres), compared to engaging with the children, and showing them that their voices matter. It really does improve their confidence and social skills.
The support staff have been so incredibly helpful through the challenges that we have faced this year, nothing has been to much of an issue for them. Knowing that you could call with ease and no judgement, being an anxious parent, or simply need to change days, was a huge comfort.
During Covid, the way that Kel and the team navigated all of the changes and kept the parents informed was outstanding.
A lot can be said that during our 14 day ‘iso holiday’, no other children were infected with the virus. This was all down the your commitment to health and thinking outside the box.
More than anything, I want to ensure you that we will continue to be strong advocates for Erina Kindergarten and always recommend your centre as the first choice on the Central Coast.
We will miss all of you, and wish you all the best over the Christmas break and new year.
Warmest regards,
Hayley O’Brien

Hi everyone!
I just wanted to wish you all a Happy Early Educators Day!
From the moment I stepped foot inside EK, I knew it was right for our family. I only wish I sent the girls there from 10 months when they started LDC. Every Educator is so welcoming and lovely and always smiling and saying hello (even if they might be having a crappy day).
Evie and Isla's Teachers are all so lovely and wonderful to deal with and I can appreciate how tough these times are for you all and I thank you for everything you do for our girls.
The girls absolutely love Kindy and Cal and I love the daily updates (we never got them at the old Centre). I love watching stories on Instagram and Xplor and seeing what they get up to during the day so we can carry on from that when we get home of an evening.
You wonderful ladies in the Office are also amazing! You are so lovely to talk too and always so accommodating. I just have nothing but good words to say about all the Staff at EK, including Mr Chris. He is always there of a morning when I drop the girls off and always so lovely.
Have a great day everyone!
Love Jayne (and Callum) xx

This is just a quick appreciation email. Last week, both Chloe (on Max's behalf) and Nikita (for Mason) asked me what they would like for them to do in regards to Father's Day craft. Both were very understanding and sensitive and it made me feel cared for - and I'm not even one of the kids! haha.
In saying that, I do want to highlight Chloe, Breeana and Olivia in Bush Babies and Nikita, Lauren and Tani from Gumnuts. I feel like they really have a great bond with the boys, understanding all of their quirks and needs. It makes it so much easier as a mum to leave them for the day, knowing they are comfortable at Kindy. That's not to say the rest of the educators and staff aren't as amazing and supportive! We love being at Erina Kindy and are thankful for everything you ALL do, especially throughout these tough times.
Keep up the good work

Dear Gumnuts Educators and EK Directors
I just wanted to write to you to thank you all so much for making the last few months of 2020 such a great time for Frankie in the gumnuts room. Thank you for including her and helping her along the way. Special thanks to Olivia and Beth for really going the extra mile and being by Frankie’s side and supporting her and being so eager to fill me in on Frankie’s day at pickup time. Her time in the gumnuts room has had such a positive impact on her growth and development.
She absolutely loves to come to Erina Kindy and she loves the gumnuts room and all her friends and educators.
Looking forward to seeing you again in 2021. Hope you all have a great Xmas break and hoping 2021 is a much better year for all!
Thank you.

Thanks Miss Tash. It’s really. I’ve to see how much individual time Rory gets. Out of curiosity is his number recognition where it should be or does he need more help. Thanks again for the report I love the amount of effort everyone puts into the posts on Storypark as it helps me keep up to date with Rory’s day and lets us know what to talk with him about in the evening when I get home from work.
David Gleeson
Thank you SO much Tash!! We can not say how happy we are with Rory’s development updates and with you all encouraging him so much. It’s so nice to see him thriving there and we really do appreciate all the time taken to provide these posts.

Dear Zoe,
I hope you are well.I wanted to email you and pass on some positive feedback about all the educators involved in my son Leonardo's care.
We have been with the centre for about a year and have been so happy with the experience. We have confidence in all the educators we have met and Leo is thriving.
Please pass on our positive reflections to the team.
With thanks,

Hello Erina kindergarten,
I have my son Huxley Atchison in the bush babies room, he has been there for four weeks now.
I am writing to commend your staff on their hard work, particularly Maddison Malone & Kiera. Putting Huxley into your school was the most heart-wrenching experience I have even had to go through. Until I got to see and know Miss Maddy and Miss Keira better, that was when I started to feel a lot more confident about my decision to put Huxley in your school. I don’t get to pick Hux up a lot of the time as I work late, but every time one of my family members pick him up they always have something so amazing to say about these two ladies! I can see the true love and care these two ladies have for my boy, and it is with that, that I will stay loyal to Erina kindergarten with future little Huxleys to come. I do hope that the girls are somehow appreciated for this.
Thank you so much!
Matilda Hughes.

I just wanted to say how happy we were with the Joeys room this year. Our daughter had such a great year with fantastic teachers. I just wanted to give some feedback on the teachers as they really deserve to be recognised for all that they have done.
Miss Nichol is such an energetic teacher and is such a good communicator with parents. Every afternoon when I arrive to pick Macey up, she always greets me with enthusiasm and always fills me in on what Macey has done in the day. We have had Miss Nichol for a few years now and truly love having her as a teacher for our children .
We have also had Miss Ellie as a teacher for a few years as well. Miss Ellie is such a warm and caring teacher and has a very special rapport with Macey. She is just so friendly and happy and Macey always talks about her and what they did together at school. Miss Ellie also greets me in the afternoon and gives me an update on the day. Macey will miss having her as a teacher next year.
Mr Joel has had a huge impact on Macey this year. He just seems to be a real natural with the children and from what I see and hear, they just love him. Macey has taken a very big liking to Mr Joel, especially with his fun magic tricks and fun activities he does with them. He is so calm and patient and most importantly, fun. He has been truly amazing and I would love if all of my children to have a teacher like him every year. He just has that special something that the kids adore.
Thank you again

Hi Alycia,
I just wanted to say thank you for providing information regarding the room routines at Erina kindergarten. I am a Primary Teacher and I really enjoyed reading how the center balanced play and intentional learning. The programs look great. Our boy, Taj, loves EK and we’ve recommended it to a lot of friends and family.
Thank you,

Hi,
I would just like to acknowledge Miss Jess and the staff in the snugglepots room for the extra care they have been taking of my daughter Emilie over the last couple of months. Em was struggling to settle back into kindy after we came back from a few months away on holidays.
After discussing my concerns with a number of the staff, Miss Jess took it upon herself to upload additional photos / stories of Em on storypark each time she attended to help us see what Em was up to. This seemingly small gesture went a long way in stimulating conversation at home and helped us to encourage the aspects of play she enjoys most at school. The staff have also been helping Em in fostering new friendships since her little friend Ella moved up to the Gumnuts room.
It is nice to know that our kids have been well looked after through your centre. It is also refreshing to see that parental concerns are taken seriously - no matter how trivial they may appear to be. The extra effort taken with Emilie has made a significant difference to her life and she is much happier in herself.
Please feel free to pass my compliments on to the directors, snugglepots staff and the owners.

Nichol and the other the teachers at Erina Kindergarten have an amazing influence on Evie during her journey at Erina Kindergarten and our discovery. Nicol has had such a profound influence on Evie’s future. Evie would be a different child now and not excelling in so many areas at school without Nichol and the other caring staffs at Erina Kindergarten.

Erina Kindergarten has been absolutely incredibly amazing and we have been so happy there the last few years. Thank you for everything the teachers have done for Ziah & Ayla.

In April of this year, I was searching for a school for my son. I was so happy when I found your school, the size alone amazed me as well as your equipment and colour everywhere.
Then I had the pleasure of meeting your lovely staff. Miss Ash with that beautiful bubbly personality greeted me and gave me a tour and made me feel at ease.
You have provided parents with such a great school with size, educational programs (exceeding national standards), great equipment and sitting areas.
The thing that means most to me is that my child was in a loving and nurturing environment and you had provided that.
I would love to give a massive thank you to Miss Ash, Miss Julie, Miss Tiarn, Miss Hannah, Miss Vanessa and the lovely women in the office. These teachers have been so supportive and comforting. It’s teachers like them that make a school as wonderful as yours.
Thank you for the wonderful experience, I would highly recommend your school to anyone.

Over the past 5 years, my family and I have moved several times with the boys going to several preschools and I have to say that Erina Kindergarten is one of the best! So i thank you for the excellent centre that you are and the quality care that you provide.

Can I just pass on how beautiful the grounds are looking at Erina Kindergarten. Every time we arrive, they are just lovely. We have been so happy since we changed over last year. It really is an excellent pre-school. Thanks, Nat

Our son Keaton adores the Bush Babies team, and we will be excited to return with both of our children when spots come up later.
May I please also commend the room leader, Miss Kelly. Incredibly compassionate, warm, easy to talk to, provides amazing advice, and really feel like she's been on our "wavelength". She is an amazing team member, Keaton clearly loves her.

Our children have been going to Erina Kindergarten for many years, they love it and so do we.
The educators are fantastic and they show so much care and compassion for the children.
The new owners have made so may positive changes to the centre, a fantastic healthy menu ( I want to go just so i can eat there) and a natural garden and play equipment, along with many other changes.

Today our youngest child, Kai, has his last day at Erina Kindergarten and it has made us reflect on our family's time here over the last almost 10 years. During this time ourselves and our children Zac, Mia and Kai have interacted and formed wonderful relationships with the many staff at Erina Kindergarten. We just wanted you to know that the supportive, caring and creative environment that you all provide, along with the dedicated and committed leadership and direction from Melissa and Ashlea is for us what sets Erina Kindergarten apart from other child care providers and does not go unnoticed.
Over the years many friends and acquaintances have complained about the problems and issues they have experienced at their centres and we have always been able to honestly and confidently say 'We have never had a problem with that'. I have often arrived at drop off to find I had forgotten a school bag, hat,shoes or change of clothes and quite often my mind! Each and every time I was always greeted with a friendly smile and a 'not a problem', 'We can take care of that' as well as the reassurance that I 'am still a great mum' which was always exactly what I needed to hear. We are so appreciative of your educator's natural ability to help get us busy parents and children from one day to the next.
We will always be grateful for the positive influence and involvement the educators at Erina Kindergarten have had on the important early learning years of our children's lives. Partnering with us to foster a love of learning, instilling the values of caring and consideration of others and creating and inspiring a sense of fun and enjoyment of life and adventure.
Our family will really miss being a part of the Erina Kindergarten community and sincerely thankyou for all you have given us and our over the last 10 years and we would not hesitate in recommending the center and it's amazing staff to our family and friends.We hope that this small gift card can go towards resources that can assist your teaching and help other families and children continue to enjoy the wonderful experiences we have had.
Love the Scully's xx
