Joyce Fisher Preschool Offical Opening

We would like to thank all who came along to celebrate the official opening of the Joyce Fisher Preschool on Friday 25th November 2016.

A special word of thanks to our guest speakers:

• Hon Peseta Sam Lotu-Iiga – MP for Maungakiekie

• Dr Tom Marshall, Chairman – Cochlear Implant Foundation of New Zealand

• Robert Lerner, Trustee – Joyce Fisher Charitable Trust

• Henry and the Optican Family

Schools and preschools can be noisy and therefore difficult learning environments for children with a hearing loss. The Joyce Fisher Preschool aims to overcome these obstacles with small child to teacher ratios. And staff are trained specifically in language stimulation and development in order to facilitate the transition to school.
