Thank You! Half of all families that responded found out about about Diamond Hills Pre-School from Family or Friends
Why did you choose Diamond Hills Pre-School
“Good reputation, within my local community (ie: close to home) and great first and subsequent impressions when touring/calling to discuss preschool for my children. Staff and volunteers were patient informative, realistic and honest with an emphasis on what is good for the children. This prioritisation of the children was probably them main point.”
“Coming from a childcare program we had also made the decision that the preschool program at a kindergarten was more valuable than long day care provided. I do not regret this decision and for anyone that can make it work I definitely encourage switching”
“Long term committed staff, Very welcoming, lovely outdoor area. Any kinder that can be bothered with the commitment of having animals has my vote! Had a lovely 'feel'”
“The lovely environment, which includes the teachers we met on our tour and the animals. The kinder felt welcoming and comfortable as soon as we walked through the gate.”
”It's close to home and as soon as we walked in the gates to visit the first time we knew this is where we wanted our children to go to kinder. The staff are always welcoming, the programs are amazing and the grounds are well maintained and engaging for the students. We love that there are a range of class pets/animals.”
