Dear Miss Leila,

I was truly impressed with your Math club.  Abdullah really enjoyed it and felt proud when showing off what he learnt.  I believe it is so important to feel at ease with Math at such an early stage.  It can only help in the future.  You did a great job.

Kind regards,

Ismat Malas

Dear Miss Leila,

I cannot thank you enough for the wonderful job you have done with Frederick so far...somehow you manage to make Math fun, and having fun the kids are making progress without even realizing it!  Frederick really enjoyed every single Monday afternoon at Math club, and we are surely registering for the next term.

Thank you again,

Ines Giumelli Graewert

Dear Miss Diane,

Conrad is learning French in a more intimate and academic setting which is a great supplement to the art curriculum.  Even though it is a long day he always seems fresh when I pick him up.

Thank you,

Dina Scheibye

Carsten and I are so happy that Conrad has the chance to speak, sing and present themes or other things for the class.  This is something that will definitely help his self esteem and he is always so proud when telling us in detail how and what happened!  Please provide as many opportunities for this as possible for Conrad.  And thank you both for being such great teachers.

My daughter Leah attended Pre-Nursery at The Children's Garden Green Community from 2008 until 2009 before we moved to Saudi Arabia.  Unfortunately we didn't have much choice regarding Nurseries there so we enrolled her in a school which she hated after just 3 days which made our and her life very difficult indeed to say the least.  She experienced a very miserable 18 months there until we got transferred back to Dubai.  We immediately registered both our daughters in The Children's Garden Jumeira and haven't regretted that one single moment.  Leah has been going to TCG Jumeira since January 2011 and until today not once has she resited in any way going to school in the morning.  Actually it's the exact opposite, she tells us over and over again how much she "loves" going to school.  We couldn't be happier.  What nicer gift can we ask for them, our girls being happy and enjoying their early education with the added bonus of learning 3 languages, music & art at the same time?  It's a unique system which works perfectly for both our daughters.  We can only highly recommend The Children's Garden to others who want age appropriate learning combined in a loving and secure environment where children are allowed to be children.  A huge "THANK YOU" to all the staff at TCG Jumeira for making Leah and Mariye's experience so positive each and every day.

My daughter has been at TCG Jumeira from Prenursery, Nursery and next year going to KG1.  She has settled so nicely, and has grown to be so fond of her school.  I think what makes TCGJ stand out from all the other nurseries is its unique set up of all the language options.  I agree that the children's minds are like sponges, and absorb so much at this age.  I never was a firm believer of this philosophy till I saw it with my own eyes through my daughter.  She is able to understand all three languages English, Arabic, and French now.  And I know this will all accumulate nicely together by KG1 and it will solidify.

I believe we could not have made a better choice than sending our kids to TCG Jumeira!  Both of our boys, Ben and Aram, are so happy and in turn this as parents obviously makes us very happy.  TCGJ has been a crucial institution in making our move to Dubai a successful one as the education of our children are our main priority.  We admired the speed with which TCGJ has managed to integrate both Ben and Aram, how quickly they felt at home and how much they love spending their day with you.  For us - and I quote Mrs. Ertl's mantra "Childhood should be a journey, not a race!" - TCGJ offers just the right blend of playing and learning, or better even: learning while playing.

Thank you all so much for taking such good care of our boys.

Jochen and Anabel Fall (parents of Ben and Aram)

It's been almost one year for my daughter at The Children's Garden Jumeira and I feel even more confident than ever that my husband and I chose the right nursery for our daughter.  The environment from the moment you walk through the gates is filled with creativity, warmth and fun.  There is an indescribable positive energy from the moment you arrive.  I feel confident each day I leave my daughter there that I am leaving her in a loving and caring and happy environment where she is safe and happy.  My thanks to the teachers and helpers and to Mrs. Ertl for her vision and commitment.

It took me months of researching, looking at more than 20 nurseries, to find the perfect one for Jude that combined a nurturing environment, innovative learning style, languages and high hygiene standards.  Today at the end of her first year at TCGJ I know I made the right decision, seeing how happy she is, how much she learned and most important how whole she is becoming as a child.  I look forward to bring her back to her second home next year.  Thank you for making this experience exciting and fulfilling for Jude.

The first time I stepped into The Children's Garden Jumeira... it was like I was actually IN a children's garden.  I could tell from the get go that a lot of effort and thought was put into decorating it... especially with art made by children themselves, and over the past year I have come to know that just as much effort is put into its curriculum and teaching.

The environment and the bilingualism were our main attractions.  Hamzah had had such an amazing time here.  He has enjoyed every single day and whenever we ask him who his favorite teacher is, he names all four/five of them.

Hamzah has learned so much and he has had a chance to explore so many things in such a short period of time, that I am truly amazed.

I have never heard of a sports day at such a young age... but TCGJ pulled it off amazingly and I was impressed once again.

I am the sort of mother who likes to know exactly what is going on in her son's day and the constant updates I get through email, pictures on your website, End of topic Celebration and Parent teacher meetings, twice a year, are things that a mom like me really needed.

Mahwash Fatima (mother of Hamzah in Arabian Tahr class)

For Eleftheria, TCGJ this first year was a window to a new life and a new world.  The school gave her the opportunity to start speaking three languages and through that make new friends in a new place living.  She enjoyed every single day and built her self confidence unexpectedly.  A special "thank you" to all the teachers (Ms Cathy, Ms Reshma, Ms Dalia, Ms Anne-Sophie and Ms Amelie) for helping in every aspect and always motivating her to try harder.

Thank you!

Magda Chatzipetrou (mother of Eleftheria and Niki)

Keeping parents informed is very important to us at TCG.  Ahmad's mother was one of many parents to write in after a Parent Information Evening to express their appreciation for all the work that goes in to creating such great results and happy, confident children.

Thank you for your amazing presentation today.  It felt so heart warming to sit on those tiny chairs and see you and the classroom from Ahmad's perspective.  We are all very thankful for your whole team's effort with my child.  His progress is astounding.

Thank you again.
