A parent's perspective:

"*Making the move to Simba has been incredible. The change in my almost 4-year-old with his engagement, learning and discussions on his day has helped me learn more about him and raised my expectations on what early childhood education should be.

The amazing staff have fabulous experience and have a focus on mindfulness and inclusion. I feel my voice is also heard with what I want for my child with parent collaboration sessions."*
