| What an awesome great learning experience for Montessori Cosmo City Pre School! Kerry was absolutely good with the learners, very kind and she engaged with the children at their level. The children were excited to learn about the information she passed on them on the origin of the company right throughout to the tour to production. Overall it was a beautiful experience, everyone was happy and comfortable including our driver! The goodies are appreciated so much. Thank you Douglasdale Dairy Farm for a wonderful experience. Kerry you are a star! |

Thank you Douglasdale Dairy and Kerry for making our outing, educational, engaging and most importantly fun. I look forward to visiting your establishment in the future.

| Hi Kerry and team, we had such a lovely time yesterday. Many of our kids have not had an opportunity like this before, especially feeding the calves. Kids could not stop talking about the trip and when asked what pasteurization is, all hands went up in the air, and remembering the temperature at which it is done. You really accommodated them on their level for which I am eternally grateful. Thank you for you dedication and part in educating our children. Thank you also for the lovely gifts you gave us. You made their day truly special. Lots of Love, Elmarie and Desmond. |

| Dear Kerry
Thank you so very much for hosting the Grade threes from Curro Rivonia in such an efficient relay visit.
The information you provided was valuable in bringing the theme of production and dairy processing (as well as your recycling processes) to life for the children. The enthusiastic manner in which you presented the information resonated with them and upon their return, they excitedly discussed what they had learnt and reproduced their own flow sheets of the production process.
We look forward to booking our new Grade threes for a 2025 visit.
Kind Regards
Deborah Ayers

| Our Grade 3's came to spend the morning at the diary, and they had the most wonderful time. They learned so many interesting facts about the milk production process and loved seeing it all in action. The highlight of the visit was being able to feed the calves, Ben and Dale! Kerry was so kind and accommodating with our girls and their many questions. We loved having our snack in the beautiful garden before we headed back to school carrying a most generous goodie bag. Thank you for such a special morning! |

| We had a lovely time, Bolivia PreSchool children came back home very excited and couldn't wait to share the news of what they were doing. Warm welcome from you and end of the day present really made our day and parents couldn't stop thanking you. Only one hazardous place that hurt one of my kids on the butt on the play ground at the end of the bigger slide,there is a hole with popped up rocks with sharp ends that i think guys that are taking care of the garden should fill it with sand and grass to cover the rocks. But other than that the visit was very fruitful. I thank you once again. |

| Kerry is so wonderful with the children. She talks to them on their level, provides visual aids to help the learning process and lets the children get involved, which is the best way for preschoolers to learn.
There are jungle gyms for the children to play on at the end of the tour and balls and mini frisbees were put out too.
The parents and children were gifted goodies bags, which was a lovely finish to the day. We are coming back again on Thursday with another class. I highly recommend. |

| Our recent visit to Douglas Dale Dairy with the preschoolers was an exceptional experience that beautifully combined education, interaction, and pure fun. The tour was not only informative but also highly engaging for the children, providing them with a unique opportunity to learn about dairy farming in an interactive and hands-on manner.
Educational and Informative Tour
From the moment we arrived, it was clear that Douglas Dale Dairy had put significant thought into making the tour educational and accessible for young children. The guides were knowledgeable and presented information in a way that captivated the preschoolers' attention. They explained the processes involved in dairy farming, from cow milking to how the milk gets processed and packaged in the factory. The children were fascinated by the machinery and the step-by-step explanation of how dairy products are made.
Factory Visit: A Highlight
The visit to the dairy factory was a highlight for many of the children. Seeing the large machines in action and understanding how their favorite dairy products are made was both exciting and enlightening. The guides did an excellent job of making the factory environment accessible and interesting, ensuring the children remained engaged throughout.
Interaction with Baby Cows
One of the most memorable parts of the tour was the interaction with the baby cows. The children were thrilled to have the chance to feed and pet the calves. This hands-on experience allowed them to connect with the animals and understand the care that goes into raising them. The delight on the children's faces as they interacted with the calves was truly heartwarming and made this part of the tour particularly special.
Outdoor Fun and Play
Douglas Dale Dairy also offered plenty of space for the children to run around and enjoy themselves. The open fields provided a safe and expansive area for the preschoolers to expend their energy. The jungle gym was another fantastic addition, giving the children a chance to play and explore in a structured environment. It was a joy to see them running, laughing, and making the most of their time outdoors.
Sweet Surprises
To top off an already wonderful day, the dairy provided gifts for the children. These gifts were a delightful surprise and a lovely way to end the tour. The children were excited to receive something to take home, which added to their overall positive experience.
Community Building
We are incredibly grateful to Douglas Dale Dairy for offering this experience at no cost. Their generosity and commitment to community building are truly commendable. By providing this opportunity, they have created lasting memories for our preschoolers and fostered a deeper connection between the children and their community. Douglas Dale Dairy has shown that they are not just a business but a valued and active member of our community, dedicated to supporting and educating the next generation.
Conclusion
In conclusion, our tour at Douglas Dale Dairy was an outstanding success. The combination of education, interaction, and play made for a perfect day out with the preschoolers. We deeply appreciate the effort and care that went into planning this tour and the warm hospitality we received. Thank you, Douglas Dale Dairy, for an unforgettable experience that has enriched the lives of our little ones.

It is easy for them to understand the video clip and it definitely feels good to see them in those white coats, as they make their way to the factory.
The play area is another highlight for them, it provides the space to run around and develop their gross motor skills.
