“Great kindy especially staff and if you are wanting to keep your culture alive with the language. They will learn english when they enter school. I love about this place is they learn bible verses, tongan songs and also embrace all other cultures during the year. I hear my daughter sing Te Reo songs all the time which I was blown away with. Malo ngaue.”
