Clever Kids New Plymouth

This is a final goodbye from the team of past and present from the last 4 years of Clever Kids.
Thank you for your support of our business. It has been a privilege to work with your children and help them to increase their skills and confidence in their abilities. Our motto has always been ‘Every kid is a clever kid’. Every child has strengths which need to be tapped into to empower them to succeed in life.

A special thank you to Donna Stratton, our remarkable office manager, who provided students and parents with a safe, welcoming environment, a chat, and lollies. She has worked for Clever Kids for 11 of the 15 years we provided our tuition service in New Plymouth.

I will personally be continuing to continue my work with SPELD, working with dyslexic students.

Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas and a restful and safe summer break.

Angela Hey

Term 4 is well under way now and it's great to see all our students back and working hard. 🤗
Term 3 didn't go quite go to plan with yet another lockdown to navigate around.
Covid-19 has had an impact in many ways and it is with great sadness that we have made the hard but necessary decision to close Clever Kids Education at the end of this term.
Clever Kids has been helping children in Taranaki for the past 16 years and we have loved being able to get to know and work with children over this time.
We would like to thank all our past and present clients for your loyal support over the years and wish you and your children all the very best of the future.
Regards
Angela and Donna
