Heather,  you are doing an amazing job!   My mother thinks Boston is way ahead of his 12 cousins in manners, neatness, consideration for others and just general grown up attitude.   I very much attribute this to school.  Obviously we work on this at home but I know it’s MOSTLY school.   You should see his room.  It has to be absolutely spotless at all times.  He won’t go to bed without everything being put away and boy oh boy, everything has it’s place.   LOVE IT!

Sending your toddler to school for the first time has got to be one of THE most stressful, heart breaking moments a parent can go through, ok not all parents, maybe just the overly protective softies like myself.
 
From the moment I opened the gates at Singing Forest I knew I had found a home away from home for my daughter. Not only was I able to phone a million times a day to check if my daughter was ok,  Heather completely understood my feelings and emotions and helped me overcome every sing…
Dear Andrea, Heather and the Singing Forest team
I would like to extend my greatest gratitude for the beautiful work you put in educating and raising my Melo.
She has grown to be a smart and independent little girl. As a result of your contribution in her growth I can relate to the saying “it takes a village to raise a child”  – the Singing Forest team has been such a positive influence in her development.
I’m sure I …
I am so grateful that my son Oscar was able to join Heather and her crew at Singing Forest. I was absolutely confident that he was in the best possible hands and the staff always went above and beyond nurturing and stimulating my child, enabling him to reach his full potential. He is now at Chartwell House Montessori Eco School. Thanks so much Heather, Andrea and Ruth!!! Elise Kreusch  
Emma and Ben are both proof of all the things you and your team are doing for our little ones. Emma started off with you when you were looking after a handful of kiddies at your house, and five years on, she graduated from Singing Forest as a confident, aware Grade R. Heather I believe without a doubt Emma would never have flourished in any other school, as she did at Singing Forest. In her Grade R year, which was a little more challenging for her, you and your team took the time to find out wha…
Our eldest daughter has been at Singing Forest for three and a half years and our younger daughter for 7 months. I have been so happy with the school, standard of teaching, quality of teachers and friends that they have made. As a parent one is often nervous of sending one’s babies to be cared for by others and I can honestly say that from the first day the staff at Singing Forest have put my mind at rest. A few years down the line my daughter has a genuine love of learning and natura…
Dear Heather and all Adin’s Teachers,   An Inspirer, an Empower, an Engager and a Friend.  These characteristics are just a short sample of the many you and your team demonstrate with all of your students, including Adin, every single day. Too often we progress through the ‘ropes of life,’ and do not invest the time to express our gratitude and authentic value for the support you so eagerly share for our growth, as not only for your students at your school, but also as global citiz…
It feels like my baby is leaving a part of his family. It has been a wonderful year for him and I still believe bringing him to Singing Forest this year was a good move and we are happy with all he has learned, just sorry it was so short.
Thank you Heather for the excellent service you are always giving. And May God Pour His Blessings over you and your entire family. We are so grateful to have someone like you whom we can always count on, trust and believe in with our little souls who we …
My son joined The Singing Forest for his (2nd) Grade 0 year.  Everything that his previous school got so badly wrong with him (and his mum!), Singing Forest just naturally did right. They truly work with the individual and understand that we are all different and embrace this!  I have never felt any pressure as the parent to sort things out, only good communication and a genuine need to sort out any issues that may crop up.  Another very important aspect for me was the timing of parent evenin…
 
Hi Heather,
I wanted to drop you a quick mail to say thank you so much for the get well card Kuval made for my mom. She wanted me to tell you she appreciates the thought. She was in tears when he gave it to her.
Thank you again
Warm Regards
Parmeshia
