Fairleigh Kindergarten

We were new to Christchurch when our son started at Fairleigh Kindergarten in January 2017. We chose Fairleigh because of the caring staff, range of activities on offer and because all the kids seemed very happy when we visited the kindy. We also like the fact that it is a community based not for profit kindergarten. The Fairleigh kindy community (parents, teachers and children) has been amazingly welcoming to our family and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Fairleigh to anyone.

Our son has enjoyed Fairleigh kindergarten since the beginning of 2018. His growth in ability and knowledge have been a pleasure to witness. Fairleigh has catered so well for him and the staff continue to challenge and expose him to a well-structured style of learning yet allow for the freedom in his play with others. We've been impressed with the calm and attentive nature of the staff which then transfers to the overall environment for our son.

We chose Fairleigh because it offered something different - being independent and not-for-profit, made it feel really focused on families and community. The teachers are really caring, observant and proactive and we've loved seeing our children's curiosity and independence grow during their time here. My daughter loved starting her day at the painting easels before heading outside to the monkey bars. While my son loves that he can have a story to start the day then head out to the diggers in the huge sandpit. There's loads on offer! Highly recommend.
