"I just wanted to let you know what a wonderful tool the Raise Learning website is.
I have found that when I pick James up from preschool I am usually in a rush and don't always have time to stop and look at the days activities on the laptop. We hop in the car and I ask him what he has done at school and I usually get the response "I can't remember". This site allows me to read about what he has been up to each day, along with photos. I have found it to be a great conversation starter with James as I am really informed about what he has been doing.
Thanks for this great website."

"We would like to express to you how much we have come to appreciate the work that you and the Beehive team do for the children, and for Alexander in particular.
We have seen for ourselves the change in Alex since joining Beehive at the beginning of 2011. Both the teams at Turramurra and St Ives have been womderful teachers and mentors for him. Under their guidance he has been encouraged and challenged to mature and improve his behaviour and attitudes.
Thankyou for supporting him academically. Until Rebecca pointed it out, we didn't realise how different he was academically from his age peers. We are grateful that Rebecca suggested psychometric assessment as the report that has come out of that testing has given us greater insight into his needs. We have had to re-assess our school choices, and we are glad that we did thanks to Rebecca's suggestion that he might benefit from the testing.
The support from the whole team at Beehive in nurturing Alex and developing not just his academic skills but also his social skills and emotional maturity has not gone unnoticed. Even our extended family have commented on Alex's growth and maturity this year.
Congratulations on the fabulous team you have working for you. I am sure you will maintain the high standards you have set. It is clear that you and your staff have a great passion for young children, and this is felt in the warmth and family-like atmosphere of the centres. We have recommended Beehive to friends and will continue to do so. We could not be happier with a pre-school!"
Chris and Celia, parents of Alexander
