Whānau, where life begins and love never ends.Our philosophy
Partnership between children, teachers and parents is the heart of what we do.
We believe trusting, reciprocal and respectful relationships empower our tamariki on their learning journey, in a diverse community. Each child is capable, unique and competent.
We offer a culture of creative spaces where every child, like a pikopiko fern, unfolds their hundred languages of learning. Te Whāriki, New Zealand’s early childhood curriculum, is embedded into everything we do.
Two rooms, one philosophy.
When your child is ready to move up, they spend a little more time in the next room each day, until they’re playing, eating lunch and resting there happily.
0 – 2 yearsUnder twos
A calm, caring room for our youngest children. When you enrol, we talk with you in detail about your baby’s development, sleeping and eating, so we can care for them the way they need.
2 – 5 yearsPreschool
Our Preschool room is for children from two to five. We build their confidence to take risks, complete tasks and make their own decisions in play and learning, and to become leaders in their play.
Learning happens indoors and outdoors.
Sandpits and outdoor equipment are checked for safety, and small walks and excursions happen from time to time. Pack gumboots and a raincoat in winter, and a sunhat in summer.
Notes from our families.
At our Parent’s Orientation and Open Day in August 2020, families wrote to us on paper hearts for our Parent’s Voice wall.
We fell in ♥ with this place as soon as we set eyes. The teachers were warm & welcoming. Amanda was very accommodating. We are sure our baby will find this “home away from home”.
Very grateful for providing a home away from home for Alayna ♥ Looking forward to her new experiences and the lovely friends she makes. Goodluck to the teachers, she is a naughty one 🙂
My kids are very happy in this daycare. Very nice place, bright and great facility. Keep it up! All the best!
