TESTIMONIALS
Wow, What a year my son had at K.A.S.I.A Preschool. Max arrived the first day with separation anxiety but before we knew it Max was a well-adjusted boy. It was all thanks to Ms. Kerry-Ann and staff who provided the tools to teach Max life lessons of confidence and independence. From that point on, Max grew and learned so much at K.A.S.I.A Preschool and soon became a leader with helping younger kids in his class. Even though his time with Ms. Kerry-Ann is over, Max continues to speak of all the things he learned under her caring guidance.

Our children attended K.A.S.I.A for 2 year. It is an amazing school. Kerry-Ann and Ashleigh are amazing. Kerry-Ann has done an outstanding job of creating an environment that has allowed our children to grow intellectually and socially. We (and they) will always fondly remember their time at K. A. S. I. A.

My daughter spent a wonderful year at K.A.S.I.A. Her language, self confidence and independence changed substantially as she spent more time at the school I cannot say enough positive things about K.A.S.I.A. I will definitely be sending my second child to this school as well.

While the Fenwick boys are no longer a part of the KASIA family, we are grateful that all three boys had a chance to begin their learning at KASIA, and we know that they are better off having been with you. You have a natural way of teaching the preschoolers, and it is such a wonderful place to learn. I always loved peeking in just before pick up and watching the boys with you, in addition to watching the cute videos you would send on a daily basis. You are a beautiful soul and I hope your light keeps shining for many years in our community.

K.A.S.I.A Preschool has been an awesome experience for my son Kerry-Ann’s style and love of teaching is quite simply the best I have ever experience! Both my kids have developed close relationships with their first teacher Kerry-Ann, and this has set both of them on a path of loving school and loving to learn. I always fell completely at ease leaving my children in Kerry-Ann’s care and believe that they both have had a very special start in their educational journey because of the very special opportunity to be taught by Kerry-Ann. My son and daughter still ask to see Kerry-Ann and always remember the special times they had with their very first teacher. I cannot recommend K.A.S.I.A Preschool highly enough!
