What Parents Say
My daughter is eager to go to Little Forest every morning. I attribute it to the fun and loving environment. The teachers, especially Ms Siti, are very passionate too! I love that the curriculum encourages inquiry learning - like their nature walk!
Both our daughters, Yvie and Zoë, have attended Little Forest's Mini Troopers and Super Troopers classes for over a year and a half. The love and attention Miss Claid has shown them is truly wonderful - she's the sweetest, most bubbly person, never forgets a child's name, and is always so professional. We believe the teachers are what truly make a school, and Miss Claid, Miss May and Miss Asy are true testament to what a great teacher is. We've attended many trials with other providers, but none have hit the mark like Little Forest has.
