Hi Debby, Thank you so much for all the beautiful memories you and your wonderful staff have given my little ones. From the very beginning, I have been so impressed by the staff’s dedication. Sharon is the reason M and all the boys are playing Oztag each week! When I asked the children to think of a message for their Christmas cards to each of their teachers, I could see how much of an impact each member of staff had. M thanks Abi for her science experiments, and thanked Sharon for her introduction to Oztag, which subsequently formed their team. She even went out of her way to practice and visit them! I am continually amazed by the standard of care, the quality of education, and the preparation for school readiness. What a difference between the centres we have been to. Everything about APTG is of the highest quality. I am only sad that I didn’t know about APTG earlier so I could have brought L and M to the centre many years sooner. Nonetheless, life unfolds as it does, and I am so grateful they have had the time they’ve had at your centre. Not only have L and M had a wonderful experience at APTG, but I will dearly miss chatting with all the staff as well. They have been such a pillar of love and acceptance. Every time I walk into the centre, I feel I can joke, laugh, share, and feel genuinely welcomed. It feels like an extension of the family, whilst still maintaining absolute professionalism. I will miss the staff immensely. Thank you to you, and to all of your beautiful staff for everything. You will all be dearly missed by me and my little family. I will miss all of the magical events your team hosts and the attention to detail and love. A big hug to all! Thank you for the memories!
