“Unfortunately the kindergarten just on my discussion did not even observe my children and declined them as needing extra support even without assessing and speaking to present teacher. Belinda was kind and courteous in the beginning but later when I tried to follow up regarding admission was clearly rude and unprofessional. Very sad to see this is how parents are treated. Wasted more than 2 weeks of my time and asking me to go back and forth with the admin and head teacher. The way they have handled queries has been very disappointing and has left an undesirable experience. Admissions are processed according to their convenience and by the way the head teacher spoke to me it seems they want children who are completely independent and take care of themselves.Highly not recommended.”
