My name is Natasha Musinguzi, and my daughter has been part of Tonza Play from the very beginning. Before Tonza officially opened, we participated in playgroups organized by parents and Teacher Bridget.\n\nMy daughter joined playgroup at one and a half and transitioned to Tonza Play just after her second birthday. Since then, Tonza Play has been the highlight of her day! The structured play and learning activities have helped her grow in confidence, develop athletic abilities, and build strong social skills\u2014all while introducing her to critical concepts and skills for her development.\n\nThanks to the wonderful teachers and nurturing environment, my daughter has grown in ways that amaze even strangers! I\u2019m so grateful for the care, dedication, and love the Tonza team brings to early education and I can\u2019t recommend Tonza Play enough!\"<\/div> <\/span> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>

My name is Rachel Nyatworo, also known as Mama Mesha.\n\nWhen did your child join Tonza play?<\/strong>\nMesha was one of the first kids that joined Tonza when it opened in Jan 2024.\n\nWhy did you choose to enroll your child in a playgroup? What are the benefits?\nAs an only child at home, I wanted Mesha to interact with other children and learn how to socialize with peers and people outside our immediate family. I also wanted him to be engaged in more constructive activities, particularly ones that involve physical movement to help stimulate brain development. One of my biggest hopes was that his eating habits would improve, and I\u2019m happy to say that Tonza Play has played a significant role in this.\n\nWhy did you choose Tonza Play?<\/strong>\nChoosing Tonza Play was an easy decision for me because it felt like a home away from home. The facilities were welcoming, and I appreciated the variety of play stations that Mesha could explore. My initial interactions with the teaching staff reassured me that he would not only learn but also thrive in a nurturing environment. I was confident that Mesha would be encouraged to be himself while engaging in activities like dress-up, music, and games that would help foster his imagination and creativity.\nWatching Mesha grow more confident over time has been a joy, and I credit Tonza Play for providing such a positive and enriching experience.\n\nHow has your experience been at Tonza Play so far?<\/strong>\nOur experience at Tonza Play has been wonderful, and we are truly grateful for all that the team has done. The administration is always accessible, and they make a genuine effort to address any questions or concerns we have. Tonza has been instrumental in preparing Mesha for his next steps, and we truly believe that the transition would not be the same without the positive experiences we've had here.<\/div> <\/span> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>

My name is Nunu, Yozuwe\u2019s Mum.\nWe enrolled Yozi at Tonza Play in January of 2024, when he was just 14 months old. At that age, we were looking for a safe and nurturing environment where he could socialize, play, and learn. Playgroups are so beneficial at this stage - they encourage social interaction, help develop communication skills, and foster independence in a fun and engaging way.\n\nWe chose Tonza Play because of its convenient location, trustworthy management, excellent facilities, and well-rounded curriculum. The classes are not crowded, the children get the attention and care they need to thrive.\n\nOur experience at Tonza Play has been wonderful so far. Yozi is always happy to go to school, he is very fond of the staff which speaks volumes about the warmth and care that they give. The teachers and caregivers are not only lovely and attentive but also great at communicating with parents. We have been thrilled to see Yozi hitting many developmental milestones early in the stimulating and supportive environment at Tonza Play.\nWe are enjoying being a part of this community and would highly recommend it to other parents.<\/div> <\/span> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>

Before joining TONZA Playgroup, Arel was very reserved and struggled with social interactions. He wouldn\u2019t play with other children, was fearful of people, and would often cry if anyone simply looked at him. He was so attached to his nanny that he wouldn\u2019t go anywhere without her or his comfort blanket.\n\nSince enrolling in TONZA, the transformation has been incredible. Arel has become more confident, started engaging with other kids, and is now comfortable around new faces. The nurturing and supportive environment at TONZA has helped him overcome his fears and build his social skills in ways I never imagined. I\u2019m so grateful for the positive impact this playgroup has had on him!\n\nMarion Mbabazi Byengoma<\/div> <\/span> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>

From the time we joined Tonza, our house has been filled with jolly songs that have been taught to our daughter by very committed and driven teachers. What is particularly noteworthy about Tonza Play is the personal attention given to each child, which results in progress reports that address not only my child\u2019s early learning skills but her behavioural growth as well.\n\nTonza takes playbased learning to the next level, offering a fun, active and child-friendly atmosphere every day.\n\nWe are confident that as our child grows, Tonza will provide an environment that feeds and nurtures her curiosity for life. More importantly, they will keep us informed and involved at every step of her development journey.<\/div> <\/span> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
