Chelsea Kindergarten

Best kindergarten ever, with the teachers who are passionate with what they do for tamariki! 💕

I will never forget—there was one time I arrived at the kindergarten at 1:50 PM, hoping to observe how my child was doing. But what I witnessed was shocking: as my child was climbing up the slide, a teacher who was sitting nearby suddenly screamed at him like she was out of control. I immediately took my child away. Another time, the kindergarten kept asking parents to donate money for various reasons. Because we didn’t donate and our child didn’t participate in the scooter race, the principal and teacher deliberately called us during work hours, asking us to pick up our child early, claiming he was crying nonstop. But when I asked my child later, he said he hadn’t cried at all. During Halloween, even though all parents paid the same $10 ticket fee, the difference in treatment was striking. When the principal with the big red flower on her head greeted people at the door, her attitude was worlds apart depending on who you were. Discrimination was everywhere. These things happened eight years ago, but I will never forget them—because a child only gets one childhood.

Teachers are amazing, both my children loved it. An amazing environment to see your grow in
