A sound foundation for life.

It has been so lovely looking at how Hugh fills his mornings with you and to see how far he has come since starting at Uplands. I cannot tell you how much he enjoys his time there and it has been lovely to share in it a little. Many thanks as always for all you do — we are very lucky to have four such wonderful teachers and people in his life. When we first visited Uplands I thought it had a really lovely atmosphere and it does. We feel extremely fortunate to have found you.Emily & Gordon

I can’t believe the day has come when we will not come to kindy again! Words fail me… but thank you all so much for everything you have done for both our girls — they could not have had a better preschool experience.Lucy

Thank you for the many years of teaching, guiding and caring for my children. Our family has enjoyed our time at Uplands and we have enjoyed seeing our children grow from little two-year-olds to big ready-for-school kids! Thank you, we will miss you and will sing your praises as a wonderful, caring and nurturing environment to any parents needing a good place for their children.Claire

I’m really going to miss you. Thank you for helping me be good.Jack – aged 4 years 11 months

To the wonderful teachers at Uplands Kindergarten. I can’t say thank you enough for the way you have taken care of my son this year. It has been the best thing to see him grow in confidence, make friends and not want to go home at pick up time! Drop offs have always been a bit tricky, but you have all made it so much easier, and drop offs without tears are a definite win in my books, so thank you. You are, without question, an outstanding team of teachers. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you do.Nicola

We simply could not have raised our family of 7 without your support. I’ll never forget your kindness. You made room for each of them and they all thrived under the magic of Uplands.Paulette

Uplands has been a warm, caring, nurturing, supportive, fun and accepting environment for Hugh! We could not have asked for more for Hugh’s preschool stage. It has been comforting to see Hugh relax and grow in confidence while he has been at Uplands. And a HUGE thanks goes to you all for being the reason this has happened! Thank you so much and all the very best for the future!Susan & Shaun

Thank you for all the fun and happy times — the games, songs, dancing and stories. Thank you for helping me learn, I especially love writing my name and experiments! Thank you for all the adventures — I have been a policeman, security, ninja and many more. Thank you for helping me grow into a confident boy all ready for school. Thank you for always being my friend.Oscar – aged 5

Thank you for all that you have done for our daughter as she embarked on her first step to independent learning. I can’t tell you how wonderful it is to find a place where we can be so happy to leave our kids. You have all been so caring and loving and gone the extra mile to give her personal growth and care. I am so proud of who she is growing up to be and I thank you for your part in that. Aroha.Caroline

Thank you so much for all the wonderful opportunities and friendship you have given Kairangi and Rawinia this year. They have come home from each session with more confidence, more songs, more stories and so happy. They have loved making friends and having a place where they belong to share with us. Thank you for all the extra events too, like field trips, father’s nights, Christmas production. We will treasure our memories of you all.Bethany
