“When we returned to Newcastle after two years away, our youngest could have enrolled in kindergarten, but we all decided we wanted one more year at our favourite preschool. Jess and her educators do brilliant work creating a welcoming and engaging environment, stimulating the children's curiosity and creativity. and ensuring that the children feel included, empowered, and appreciated. It is such a special place that our older daughter's 9th birthday wish was to go back to preschool - and Jess made it happen. Both of our girls loved their days at preschool. learning through play and building friendships that have carried over into their school lives”
