About Education & Care Service

“We are incredibly grateful to have found Kiddie Garden Learning Corner for our son’s early education. From the moment we stepped in, we felt the warmth, care, and genuine love that every teacher brings to the children. A special mention must go to Ms. Ron, our son's teacher, who has been an absolute gem. Her dedication, patience, and nurturing nature have made a world of difference in our child’s confidence and development. She understands each child’s unique needs and always creates a positive and joyful environment that encourages learning through curiosity and play. We also deeply appreciate the support of Ms. Rashmi and the entire teaching team. They work together harmoniously, always ready to lend a helping hand, offer a comforting smile, or share valuable insights into our child’s progress. Their collective energy, professionalism, and passion for early childhood education shine through every day. One of the most outstanding qualities of Kiddie Garden is their respect for cultural diversity. They truly value the heritage and traditions of every family, which is something we hold close to our hearts. Celebrations, stories, and classroom activities often reflect a beautiful mix of global cultures, helping children grow up with a sense of pride in their identity while also learning to appreciate others. This is, without a doubt, the strongest pillar of this amazing kindergarten and what sets it apart. We wholeheartedly recommend Kiddie Garden Learning Corner to any parent looking for a safe, inclusive, and enriching space for their little one. It is more than just a kindergarten – it is a loving community that lays a strong foundation for lifelong learning. Thank you to all the wonderful teachers for giving our child such a beautiful start to his journey!”

“Kiddie Garden Learning Corner is a wonderful preschool. My son came from an Asian country and needed time to adjust. The caring teachers helped him feel comfortable and confident. They provide many fun activities to support literacy and numeracy. My child became more independent and enjoyed learning in a multicultural setting. Thanks to their support, he is well-prepared for the next stage. I highly recommend this preschool to other parents!❤❤❤❤”

“Kiddie Garden has been an awesome place for my kids. My eldest attended here since he was 1 year old and has just graduated. The last four years every single teacher has invested soo much into looking after him and ensuring he learnt all that was required while having fun and being safe. The teachers went above and beyond with caring for him for the last 4yrs. We felt so at ease and trust the daycare and the teachers soo much that now my younger son has started at bellbird room as well. Teachers here are always greating you with a smile and eager to help us parents achieve our goals with our kids. They are invested in each kid professionally and personally. Always keen to help even outside of daycare hours. I cannot recommend enough of kiddie garden to everyone whose looking for a safe, fun & loving environment for their little hearts to be left at while working. It's a place where your kids are looked after as their own. Thank you Kiddie Garden Learning Corner for all your hardwork ❤️”

“We’ve had a fantastic experience with Kiddie Garden Learning Corner! The teachers are warm, caring, and genuinely invested in the children’s growth and happiness. My child loves going every day and has learned so much—from creative activities to social skills. The environment is safe, nurturing, and well-organized, with plenty of engaging activities that keep the kids excited. Communication with parents is also excellent, keeping us updated on our child’s progress. The kids are very well fed too. My child doesn’t come home hungry in the evening, and that’s a great relief to know that the kids are fed frequent and adequately. I highly recommend Kiddie Garden to any parent looking for a loving and enriching daycare experience!”
