Testimonial:
My three year old son (William) has recently transferred to Marewa Kindergarten and he’s loving it. The teachers are great; really helpful and encouraging. The grounds and buildings are well kept so you know the kids have a safe place in which to have fun, burn energy and learn. My daughter is a few years away from kindy age but she will definitely be going to Marewa kindy.S Higginson, Parent, April 2011
