Why We Love It.
"Our daughter attended Fridays Child Montessori Preschool for two years before commencing her Prep Year at school. From the first day of Prep, she loved the school environment and thrived on the educational experience. We believe the smooth transition from preschool to school was greatly enhanced by the curriculum and many activities she had undertaken whilst at Fridays child. Her intellectual abilities were extended by the diversity of challenges offered within the program at Fridays Child. The Fridays Child Jolly Phonics program provided her with an excellent head start in her school reading and she continues to be above average in this area. We thank Laurena and her staff for preparing our daughter so well for school and we are now enjoying watching our son grow and develop during his time at Fridays Child."
