Some comments from our parents in our recent Parent Survey
Why did you choose Phoenix Preschool to send your child to?
Like the family feel and being able to be apart of my child's education. The staff are great and always welcoming and I was able to come and breastfeed which was a huge part of choosing this Centre. It was the only Centre I felt comfortable leaving my child in.
Originally I loved the small numbers in the under twos and had been to phoenix as a child so always had a draw to it. Since being involved at Phoenix I love the community spirit and values associated with the center. I also really love the idea of school holidays and Christmas flexibility associated.
At the time it was because it was so close to home, and I liked the environment when we first visited. Now that we’ve moved a bit further away I wouldn’t even consider changing after seeing how much my child loves it. Also had heard great things about it from others with children there.
I loved the small numbers, the staff had a wonderful rapport with the children. My son & I loved the big outdoor area. I liked the shorter opening hours, to ensure teachers and children are well rested.
Phoenix’s Reputation - the fact it is community based - I liked the integration of the two rooms - the general feeling of the Centre at the time we chose, especially the warmness extended by teachers - the low number of children at the time - large outdoor environment.
Wanting a preschool that supported growth and education. Somewhere where I felt my child would be able to grow in the environment and feel supported and cared about

Our two children attended Phoenix Preschool and I cannot recommend this centre enough. Both children loved attending Phoenix and had the best time. The quality and care that the teachers showed our children during this time was absolutely brilliant. We loved the family feel of Phoenix and also that they are a community based centre. Seeing all the funds going back into this centre to educate our children was such a good feeling. We would like to thank Ange, Gayle and the teaching team for the wonderful educational start they gave our children. We will be forever grateful!

Our family have been a part of the Phoenix family for 6 years and have thoroughly enjoyed our time. The staff are fantastic and there is such a community feel with various events incorporating all members of the family, young and old, held throughout the year. My boys have loved their time at Phoenix and have grown both academically and socially. Couldn't have asked for a better start to their education.

Choosing a preschool felt like a huge responsibility but, once we met the staff at Phoenix Preschool, the decision was easy. We love the way that our son has been so genuinely cared for, from the moment he stepped through the door, until it was time to go home. From learning to separate from us, to negotiating building relationships, and finally transitioning to school, both child, and parents, could not have received better support. Phoenix is a huge asset to our community and will always hold a special place in our hearts.

We were very impressed by the high quality education and care provided during our daughter's time at Phoenix. She thoroughly enjoyed the warm and encouraging environment, building great friendships with her peers and gained confidence with amazing support from her Kaiako. As parents, we felt involved and well informed, and appreciated all the help given to us by Ange and her team along the way. We wouldn't hesitate recommending Phoenix Preschool to our family and friends (and often do).
