Visits to Our School

Child at Street 11 receives many distinguished visitors. The presence of visitors in the Centre is important for the development of the process of children taking responsibility for their own learning. Children are driven by their curiosity and imagination and they learn best in relationship-driven environments.  When a visitor comes to the Centre, the child views the visitor as someone who cares about his or her learning, views and knowledge. Children learn when they listen and are listened to. When adults listen to children’s views, children feel loved and valued. A school has a powerful influence on this process and children will value the relationship of listening within the school, as well as the wider world.

“Having visited the Child at Street 11 Childcare Centre today, my wife and I are deeply touched by your very professional approach to childcare and making small pre-school children self-reliant and confident. Your good work for them until they are ready for Primary School needs to be continued in their initial years in Primary School.”

I still feel emotional when I remember my visit to the Child at Street 11 school: I was able to appreciate the competent and passionate commitment of all those working there, sustaining and supporting the right of children to an education of quality, including through their dialogue – which is constantly renewed and for which we are grateful – with the Reggio Emilia Approach.

“It was so heartening to see the children perform the life of Anne Frank. What happened to Anne Frank shall never ever again happen to other children. The children of this kindergarten gave me a lot of hope.”

‘’Thank you for initiating the Child at Street 11 production of the Anne Frank Diary.

I have seen this important book been staged many times and in many countries outside of Israel, my homeland. It is still spine-tingling for me, and the children despite their young age seem to get somewhat into the unimaginable reality of the horrific lives of Jews during that period in Europe”.

Voices from The Parents

“We first sent Zayn to Child at Street 11 when he was only 8 months old. The teachers are always patient with Zayn and take care of him with so much love. The most surprising to us was that Zayn was able to follow the dance steps during the graduation ceremony. We thought he’ll just stand/sit or even cry on stage. This must have been putting a lot of effort to make this happen! Really appreciated it and thankful to the teachers for their efforts in creating a wonderful environment for the children.”

“My experience working with the school is great. The teachers are very friendly and take initiative towards my kid. It’s not easy to take care of my kid as my kid has learning needs.. But the teachers work with us by asking us how to handle him so that they can handle him better. The determination of the teacher to take care of the kids is wordless. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the principal and the teachers for the effort that you all have put in.”

We can see that he enjoys the school activities, especially the excursions. He is always happy when the teachers accompany him while waiting for us. Till today, Ryan has learnt to sing songs, write a few letters and numbers, draw simple shapes and speak English well. We believe that these are all the efforts and hard work by the school teachers.”

"Child@St11's infant care centre exceeded our expectations in caring for our little one. Within days of enrolment, they sent us a photo of our daughter beaming with joy, which instantly assured us that she was in great hands. The teachers also went above and beyond by sending our daughter a lovely dress during the Christmas season, which was a heartwarming gesture that we will never forget. We are grateful for the love and care our daughter received at Child@St11 and highly recommend them to any parent looking for a nurturing environment for their child."

“The first day of school for Deyan were like riding a bicycle up and down the hills. Sometimes he was calm and receptive to the school and the new norms and at other times anxious and expressive wanting his mummy and daddy to comeback to fetch him home. However, the teachers at Child at Street 11 and us together managed to calm his nerves and now he is happy to go to school. The next big achievement was making him wear the uniform and that he has come to accept too. Thank you teachers for your hard work and perseverance. "
