Ako is such an amazing wee preschool. My son absolutely loves going to preschool every morning, he is so happy and always has a smile when he sees his friends and teachers. Marcel’s key teacher, Olivia is awesome, he is very lucky to have her as his teacher, role model and friend. Rachael and Andrew have done an amazing job since taking over.

When I first started Isla at Ako daycare, it was all new for her, and she cried. As Isla has been there for 4 months she has taken a liking to Sally and is now very comfortable and settled into daycare. I feel happy to drop her off knowing that she is happy, cheeky little girl and also being able to talk to Sally about Isla’s days at preschool puts my mind at ease too.

I love everything about AKO. My wee boy is thriving there. Rachael and her team are so understanding with his needs and really have taken a personalized approach to caring for him. They are happy to answer my 100 questions at every pick up which I really appreciate. My boy doesn’t want to come home when I go to pick him up! He talks about day care at home! This is our second day care and is the right one for us 🙂
