:: Testimonials From Happy Parents

Little Shepherd is a wonderful preschool with very personable, dedicated and caring staff. Both our children have learnt so much and developed as confident individuals since attending this centre.

It’s the extra quality care the preschool provides that makes it a special place. Such as when you arrive to collect your child the staff make time to tell you the little details about your child’s day – who they may have played with, new skills learnt and simply just the kind of day they have had.

Through the staff’s guidance and structured activities we have watched the confidence grow and important social skills develop in our children that they will need, in particular, as they progress through schooling life.

We cannot thank the staff enough for the wonderful experience they have provided for our children.

Warm regards
Lisa and Matt Curra

 

It is with great pleasure that I write this testimonial for Little Shepherd Pre-School. Over the past 4 years I have had two children attend Little Shepherd and to say they have enjoyed their time there is an understatement. They have thrived in this environment. Rebecca and her wonderful staff make each and every child feel special and unique whilst providing them with the special and academic skills needed as they make the transition from pre-school to “Big School”. This is exactly what I as a parent want for my children.
The genuine affection and concern that the staff show the children at the centre truly makes Little Shepherd a child’s “home away from home”. I know it is rare to find a pre-school with all these outstanding qualities which is why I cannot recommend Little Shepherd enough to friends, family and anyone who wants a wonderful caring and nurturing learning environment for their child. I look forward to many more happy years at Little Shepherd Pre-School!!

Our daughter has been attending Little Shepherd Pre-School for six months and she absolutely loves it! She would walk herself to Pre-School if she was able to. The teacher's friendly, nurturing and professional manner helped her settle into pre-school routines quickly. In the time that she hs been attending, her skill in interpersonal relationships and communication has developed immensely. She now happily shares with her peers and communicates her wants, needs and frustrations more effectively.Our daughter enjoys completing the fun, learning experiences and activities that are incorporated into the pre-school day and she is always made to feel very prud of what she has achieved.

To Whom it may concern,

My name is Denise and I am a mother of three children. All of my children have had the wonderful benefit of attending Little Shepherd Pre-School. Rebecca Gorman and the caring staff at this centre carry out their responsibilities in caring, nurturing and educating the children to a standard of excellence that I feel would not be easily found within the childcare industry.

Children are treated, without exception, with kindness and respect, each child is made to feel so valued and important. As a parent, I have always found the lines of communication between the staff at Little Shepherd and myself open at all times. My daughter has gained so much confidence during her time with Rebecca and the lovely carers- it is so wonderful to see her growing in confidence and I attribute much of this development to the way she is cared for and taught while at Little Shepherd. The level of care and dedication displayed by Rebecca and the staff is second to none.

I recommend Little Shepherd Preschool in the highest of terms.

Yours faithfully
Denise Viskovic
 

Dear Bec, Liz, Cecilia,Robyn, Lorette and Doris,

Upon receipt of this week's newsletter l've just sat mulling over a coffee trying to think of suggestions to give you as feedback. I have had plenty of insight into similar services. However, this only goes to absolutely confirm my belief that the team at Little Shepherd is doing a fantastic job and to emphasize the fact that both my husband and I are delighted with our daughters progress and the care and commitment you demonstrate.

In comparison to other experiences we've had it is obvious the time you spend in planning their day and we are particularly impressed with your personable approach and attitude. We can't recommend Little Shepherd highly enough to our friends, so basically this is feedback is just to say keep up the great work!

Best regards
Jeanne Welsh
