intimate, personable, caring school. The teaching
and support team are professional, loving, and
fun people to work with, and we trust our son in

gone through and learning that has taken place.
Also really appreciate the space and respect they
offer to each child for their individual learning
process and development. Thank you so much for
a great year and positive transition to school for
our son.”

8. Testimonials
“The perfect soft entry for toddlers into a drop-off learning environment as you can rest
assured the Rain Trees team will do everything to make your child feel safe, loved and
both mentally + emotionally understood. Isabella has had a blast and I'm so glad she I
had found this hidden gem just down the road from us. Parent involvement is so
welcome and the smiles and chatters during pick-ups and drop-offs is truly because Rain
Trees has managed to build a strong community within the school with things like bake
sales, fundraisers, parent volunteers etc. who really do give great helping hands to the
children.”
