Testimonial:

 
“We found Onekawa Kindergarten to be an amazing place. The friendly happy relaxed environment is a credit to the wonderful teachers who go above and beyond to ensure every child reaches their full potential. The activities are always interesting and the teachers always come up with new and creative ways to extend the children in their current interests.

Our daughter started kindergarten extremely shy and all the staff helped her develop skills to overcome her shyness and at her 5 year old mat time she was able to talk in front of the whole kindy group and is now completely ready for school.

Onekawa Kindergarten will always hold happy memories for our family. Thank you”. Katrina and John
