Testimonials
It is so unique in the way it is set up for kids! You get such a sense that they feel honoured and respected by such rich activities and performances that are created just for them.
My class will most remember the quality of the act we saw. It was superb. Absolutely memorable for Kindergarteners. They laughed their heads off.
I have such great memories of the Festival after going every year for 20+ years of teaching.
