    Arbor Pre-Primary truly feels like family. From the moment we walked through the doors, we knew our child was in the best hands. Teacher Nicky is absolutely wonderful — kind, patient, and full of enthusiasm. Every member of the teaching and ground staff goes above and beyond to make the children feel loved and supported and always have smiles on their faces. We are so grateful to be part of the Arbor community!ˮ Our child has thrived in this warm, nurturing environment. Jayden is a lucky little boy to have had you all in his life!!!!

    Arbor Pre-Primary is the most caring and nurturing environment for your little one, the teachers not only teach amazing lessons that develop their minds, fine motor and gross motor skills but also foster a loving and home away from home environment. The teachers give their all and the concert that they put on each year is such a highlight. A truly dedicated team and most amazing little school where my son flourished and was more than ready for big school.

    Our daughter Kate attended Arbor Pre-Primary School, and we couldnʼt be more grateful for the incredible care and dedication shown by the teachers. They truly went above and beyond—nothing was ever too much trouble. With their patience, understanding, and support, they helped Kate work through her challenges and grow into the amazing young lady she is today. We will always be thankful for the positive start they gave her, and we would recommend Arbor Pre-Primary, without hesitation to any parent looking for a nurturing and supportive environment for their child.

    We are so thankful to have had our kids experience Little Arbor. From the moment we walked through the doors, we could feel that love and care is present in the warmth and love shown by the teachers and staff. Itʼs such a blessing to know that our child is not only learning and growing academically butalso being nurtured in faith and kindness every single day. The teachers truly care for each child as one of their own – guiding them with patience, compassionand prayer. Weʼve seen our little ones grow in confidence, joy and understanding. Every story, song, and gentle reminder about kindness and gratitude reflects the values we hold dear at home. Little Arbor is more than just a school – itʼs a family that plants seeds of faith and learning in every childʼs heart. We are deeply grateful to be part of this wonderful community.

    From the little class, where Teacher Debbie is the mommy/granny, to the Grade R classes, where Teacher Candice, Carmen and Nicky get them ready for the bigGrade one, we couldnʼt be happier with our experience at Little Arbor. From the very first day, the teachers made our child feel loved, supported and excited to learn. Thank you Little Arbor, teachers, ground staff and office ladies for a 5 star experience. Not only are you amazing humans, your playground is constantly being upgraded, your computer room is state of the art, you offer music classes, extra mural activities and Speech and Occupational therapy. The Minnie family will always love you.

    As a grandmother, itʼs such a joy to see my grandchildren so happy and excited to go to school each day. From the moment they started at Arbor Pre-Primary, I could see how much love, care and attention each child receives. The teachers are patient, kind and truly dedicated to helping every little one grow and thrive. My grandchildren have learned so much – not just their ABCʼs and numbers, but also how to share, make friends and be confident. It warms my heart to see how much they enjoy learning and how proud they are to show us what theyʼve done at school. Arbor Pre-Primary has created such a safe, caring and positive environment where children can learn, laugh and feel special. Iʼm so grateful for the wonderful team who make such a happy place for our family. My favourite is the concert each year and the grandparentʼs day is just so special. Thank you so much.
