Welcome to Mary's Kindy

Dearest Mary, Bobby and Staff I would like express my deepest gratitude for everything that you have done with Olivia since she started at Mary's in February 2012. As you are aware over the passed couple of weeks, Olivia has been attending her Primary School interviews and not only were Leo and I impressed on how she did throughout the process, confident, not shy etc so were the principal of the schools. In particular the Principals were very impressed with Olivia's writing skills. When I mentioned that at the centre the children learnt how to write their name when they are 3 as a starting point, the principals were not only amazed, they were impressed at the brilliant way that you introduced letters to the children as the letters in their name are the letters they will be using their entire life. When asked more about what was taught at Mary's we discussed what they learnt during the Duckling and Rainbow stages and the principals were very impressed and said that what she has learnt and will learn is an amazing starting block for primary school. I would especially like to thank Belinda, who initially taught Olivia in the Duckling stage and taught her how to hold a pen and write her name. Belinda is a true asset to the school and now as the teacher of the Rainbow class, she will prepare all the kids perfectly for primary school with your amazing School readiness program. Thank you all again Lisa

Hi Mary – thank you and the girls for putting on such a great Art-show on Friday evening! Jamie and I enjoyed it so much and Charlie was having such a fabulous time at the party it was difficult to get him to leave! Clearly you and the girls (and the children, of course) put a great amount of time and effort into the artwork and the party preparations. It was a wonderful opportunity to speak to and get to know the other parents better. Over the weekend, Charlie and I allocated his artwork to give as gifts to his grandparents, uncles and aunties – he was so excited and proud; it was wonderful to see. Charlie is very lucky to have such great and fun carers. Thank you again for throwing such a great party! And all the activities you have coming up sound great!
