Dear Ms Marian, You have been very nice and kind to Maryam.  You are such a sweetheart, thank you.  You have been a very big part of Maryam's daily life.  Maryam says that you are like Mummy but with "yellow hair"!  I wish you all the best of luck and we've been very lucky to have you as a teacher, you will be missed.

Dear Mrs Marian, I just wanted to tell you that I will never forget my favourite teacher.  I am so happy we had the chance to meet.  Little Gems has been a warm and friendly place to learn with you as my techer.  You are truly going to be missed.  Love and hugs,

Dear Ms. Rebecca; You have a wonderful personality & are a very kind teacher, you can not imagine the change and difference you have made in Danial, he is now a more confident child and showing a lot of interest in learning & school. This would not happened without you. You are an ideal teacher, personally I was surprised with the way you have analyzed my son’s personality & the how much you have contributed in improving him, you helped him to overcome his shyness. You are a star!!! What you have done was noticeable, so thank you very much & wish you all the best with your career. Regards,
Mr. & Mrs. Murad, September 2010

Dear Mrs Eleanor and all the wonderful people at Little Gems; It is without doubt, that one of the best decisions we ever made in Bahrain was sending Shannon to Little Gems for the first foray into her school life. Shannon spent two wonderful years in Little Gems; we cannot praise all the teachers and staff enough for their constant support and encouragement. Mrs Adele, Mrs Maggie and Mrs Christine have helped Shannon settle in quickly and happily into school life. Thank you, Ms Ina, for your wise advice on health and safety issues and not forgetting the 'magical' plasters which Shannon loves. Thank you so much everyone at Little Gems for the kind and caring environment. It will be strange not to go to Little Gems when Shannon starts 'big school'. We are sad to leave Little Gems and will miss you all.
Kee, Ying and Shannon Wong, July 2010

Dear Ms Elea; Just a short note to say happy holidays to you and the family. Rakan has been so happy at Little Gems, he has flourished from a baby to a young man in such a short time. A big thank you to everyone at Little Gems for making a difference, and for making Rakan's time at school a happy one. Kind regards,

Dear Elea, Ariette and everyone at Little Gems; Thank you for a fabulous Little Gems experience. 3 years and 2 kids later we are still smiling. Who knows, if we are still in Bahrain you'll definitely see our third in September 2011 Inshallah. All the best for the future,
Saad & Natasha (Omer & Mustafa Abdurrahman's parents), July 2010

Dear Mrs Benson; I just want to say that my son, Muhammed Mercer, has had a great time this year with Mrs Nicky. We have seen him develop a lot, with lots of support and guidance from Mrs Nicky and Little Gems. It is such a shame we'll be leaving as in September Muhammed is joining St Christopher's to be with his 3 sisters. We have another boy, Yousuf, aged 6 months, and we'll be sure to enrol him with Little Gems when he's old enough. All the best,
P.L Mercer, July 2010

Dear Ms Christine; words cannot express how happy we are for our precious angel Armani to have you as her teacher. In the short while that she has been under your wing at Little Gems we have noticed her confidence grow and her 'strong personality' being channelled purposefully - and for that we thank you sincerely. In the short while that she has been under your care we have noticed her transition from a toddler to an independent child and you've done an excellent job, and for that we appreciate you sincerely. Most importantly, Ms Christine, being expats in a land foreign to us, you have been a 'constant figure' to Armani and as such, have become equivelent to a member of our small family on this island. For the love and affection you have given Armani you will always hold a special place in our hearts, eternally.
Suresh and Reshym Chaytoo, May 2010

Thank you so much for teaching Callum whilst at Little Gems. He has really enjoyed it, mixing with others his age as he has always been at home and we were anxious about his start. He comes home and says he's been painting, colouring and cutting with so much enthusiasm and excitement, we have been so pleased. Ms Maggie, Cheryl and team you are a real credit to Little Gems. Thanks once again,
Ian and Vicki, April 2010

Dear Mrs Marian; Tony, Billie, Sam and I will miss you when we return to New Zealand, you've been the best teacher. I'm so glad that both the kids got to be in your classroom. Thank you,
Teresa, April 2010

My husband, Jasmine and I would like to thank you all for all your hard work. Jasmine loves school and it's easy to see why. You have provided her with an inspiring and nourishing learning environment. Jasmine is so fond of all her teachers who have shown her such special attention. We will miss you and all the wonderful staff at 'the little school down the street'. Please continue to do all the amazing work you do for these "little gems".
Karen Lin, April 2010

Dear Mrs Benson, I'd like to take this opportunity to say how pleased we have been with our experience of Little Gems this year. Miss Nicky is a wonderful teacher with incredible energy and I have been so impressed by her caring attitude towards Chloe. She manages to combine classroom discipline with a great sense of fun. The Sapphire team of assistants are also excellent and I have really appreciated their kindness and commitment. It has been the ideal start to shool life for Chloe - she couldn't have enjoyed herself more.
