We heard about Rain Trees from a friend. From the moment we arrived there, we felt welcome and we knew it was a great school. More importantl­y, Scarlette wanted to be there and the teachers and Principal Rohini helped to make her feel at home. She started in January last year and is now in the Busy Bee class. Siena will also be attending the parentsand-toddler class when she's old enough.

Both Scarlette's and our experience of Rain Trees has been wonderful. Our daughter looks forward to going to school and we know that they're building an exceptiona­l foundation for her. She loves to meet her friends and her amazing teachers Ms Gail, Ms Praxie and Angie Laoshi. The curriculum at Rain Trees is varied, and includes traditiona­l schoolwork and other activities such as baking, show and tell, outdoor play and mystery readers. Ms Gail is very approachab­le and willing to provide feedback on Scarlette. She communicat­es clearly with us parents and to the kids about how things work and what to expect as the term goes on. Angie Laoshi has also done a really amazing job teaching Mandarin – Scarlette's pronunciat­ion and speaking has been compliment­ed by our Chinese friends. When her best friend was relocating, we were worried to see how she would deal with it. But Ms Gail prepared Scarlette by keeping her busy with fun activities and the other kids. Any parent would appreciate this in the unique times we live in.

The school's programme is second to none and Scarlette's getting a great foundation in her young life while having fun. We couldn't be happier that she is attending Rain Trees.

We know that we’re building an exceptiona­l foundation for our child
