Dearest Renita, Shafiek, Allette and all the staff (past and present) of Step Ahead Kindergarten

As first time parents, it was with heavy hearts that we brought our almost 2yr old Kavish to Step Ahead in 2009. We did not know what to expect or how he would adjust to life away from home. He took to it like a duck to water and we struggled to adjust much more than he did. That easy transition from home to school and the next 3 years which saw him grow in leaps and bounds can only be attributed to all of you and the special care you took.

When Vaishivi started there in 2011 we didn’t have to think twice, knowing that she would be in good hands. It is hard to believe that 5 years have gone by so quickly and it is now with heavy hearts that we bid you farewell.

When we dropped them off at school in the mornings it was as if we were leaving them with family and we had no need to wory about their wellbeing during the course of the day. This speaks volumes about the manner in which you have cared for our “babies” and we are eternally grateful for that. We would like to thank you for all that you have taught Kavish and Vaishivi, for looking after them with motherly love and for going beyong the call of duty in preparing them for the years ahead.

We will miss the sports days, grandparents days and concerts but most of all we will mis all of you. Thank you for all those special memories which we will always cherish.

We wish Step Ahead every success for the future, and to you the special people who keep it going, we pray that you will all be blessed with the good health, energy and strength to keep doing that which you have done so well for our family, for many more families to come.

With love and best wishes

Venesh, Padma, Kavish and Vaishivi Athimoolam

Under the care of Step Ahead staff my boys grew and got a solid foundation. You guys are doing a wonderful job. I am grateful to you all. It gave me peace of mind to know that I was leaving my children in a safe and secure environment daily.

Once again, Thank you all for you kindness and love. Tyler will come to visit, he is going to miss the friends he made

Love, Tatum, Lyle, Luke, Tyler, Quanton
