"My three children have attended Turramurra Beehive over the past six years. During that time, I have been very happy with the Beehive program, mainly due to feeling completely confident every time I left them, that they were safe and cared for, and in a program that is exceptional in preparing the children for school.
The curriculum is structured enough to ensure the children benefit from a broad range of activities, yet there is also plenty of time to play freely so they can experience different activities and interactions with their classmates. All of my children have formed strong friendships at Beehive, which have continued at school.
My youngest child finishes at Beehive this year and embarks upon her journey to school. I have no doubt she will be well prepared and will remember her Beehive days with fondness."

"We have been part of the Beehive family now for almost 3 years, starting at Killara Beehive and then moving closer to home at Turramurra Beehive. Words cannot describe how happy my husband and I have been with the care. Our daughter absolutely loves her days at Turramurra Beehive - we are constantly amazed at just how much she has learnt over the past year in the Pre-School program everything from colours, numbers, songs, gymnastics and French to the fantastic Letterland program which is her favourite. She has also formed some great friendships which will hopefully continue on for many years to come.
I know that when I leave each day she is happy, safe and content in her environment and as a parent I couldn't ask for anything more."

"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
