You have given our son such a wonderful start in life – it is hard to express our thanks and your report on him is so perceptive it makes me cry. You must know how much his stay at Iverna Gardens meant to him and to me, so much so that I was unable to hold my tears today although he managed much better! You have created a wonderfully gentle, creative and nurturing school – thank you.

My heart is breaking at the thought of my daughter leaving Iverna Gardens. Thank you for instilling the confidence, for providing the fun and opening her eyes to the world around her. She could not have asked for a better first school experience. You are wonderful. You have made her so happy these last two years. Thank goodness I’ll see you in January. I couldn’t be saying goodbye.

I am so grateful for all your wisdom and advice, for both my children. You have the most wonderful way of assuaging my fears and giving the best counsel. I have relied on you for so many decisions. My daughter has flourished at Iverna with you this year. With your care and patience she has come into her own and has been such a pleasure. Thank you for everything, for not worrying when I do and for always saying the right thing and showing her the way.

It is with a bitter sweet heart that I watch my child move from Iverna gardens. This was where, under your wonderful care and watchful eye, she truly blossomed. I am so grateful that she had you to help and guide her; she could not have got a better start. Thank you all for your energy and enthusiasm, your advice and wisdom. I couldn’t do it without you. Thank goodness we’ll be back for more.

We cannot begin to express our gratitude and appreciation to you for taking our son at Iverna and providing such a nurturing and loving environment for him. He has truly grown and flourished in every way since January. We have been constantly amazed and delighted with his happiness at school and know that he will have a solid foundation for his future learning. It is with much sadness and regret we have made the decision to return to the US. It is heartbreaking that he will not be able to complete another year at your school. After viewing other Montessori schools in the US, I have quickly realized that all schools are not alike. I commend you for creating such a fantastic school. We leave with many fond memories, I wish you all the best.

Your school is truly unique and offers children a glorious beginning to the ‘big world’ out there. I am deeply grateful that my daughter was able to attend and benefit from Iverna Gardens. Your ‘report’ on her captured the essence of her as a person. It is a report we shall treasure.
