ABOUT US

Our Centre

What makes us different?

We provide excellent childcare and education in a friendly, relaxed environment and focus on working with you, the families, to provide great outcomes for your children. Our bi-cultural education programme is second to none and we work continuously to further enhance it. Each teacher is responsible for observing a small number of children and developing a tailored programme to extend upon the interests of each child. We also have shared learning experiences, including mat times and excursions, that build social competence as well as a semi-structured program for our 4-year-olds to help them prepare for school. In addition, we have excellent staff to children ratios, well above of Ministry of Education requirements. We usually operate with 1 staff member for every 3-4 babies and 1 staff member for every 6 preschoolers. Finally, our charges are very attractive. You can book for just the hours you require rather than being limited to fixed sessions and we will work with you to make sure you get any assistance from WINZ (or other funding agencies) to minimise your total costs.

Partnership with parents:

We aim to create a positive partnership with parents to deliver the best possible educational outcomes for your child. In summary, our aim is to provide excellent care and education for your children, to always have the best interests of the child at heart, and always be good to deal with.

Babies

Our new, purpose-built childcare unit offers infants and toddlers a nurturing, secure and spacious environment to grow and learn. During their time with us your child will be given an abundance of learning opportunities with both child and educator initiated experiences and activities, as well as spontaneous and planned outings.

Our centre is staffed by educators who share a common goal of helping individuals reach their full potential at their own pace. We supply nutritionally balanced snacks and meals and cater for all food allergies. We also supply bottles, cows milk and nappies for under 2s as part of our service to you.

You will need to supply any milk formula that your child may need throughout the day, and supply at least two sets of clothing for your child daily. We communicate and consult with parents through a notebook system until your child is 18 months old. We complete a daily diary about your child and we always try to catch up with you for a chat to discuss your child, what they have been doing for that day and any requirements that they may need.

Preschool

Our Preschool caters for children aged between 2 and 5 years old.

3-5 year olds

We provide a child-initiated learning environment, which is designed to equip your child with the skills that help them in their development toward the new entrant educational system. We have a very good rapport with local schools and they often comment on how well our children settle and progress throughout their schooling.

We provide a child-centred learning programme based on your childs’ interests, designed to encourage your child to be a confident and competent learner. Children experience opportunities for local excursions and current community events. The children are offered other spontaneous and planned experiences throughout the day, plus they are encouraged to make their own choices and have a voice in what they would like to do. Educators follow and extend on the children’s interests.

Children in this unit are encouraged to become independent with a range of self-help and self-care skills, which enable them to grow up to be self-motivated learners. We have numerous play spaces both indoors and outdoors as you can see in our photo gallery. We also have semi-permanent shade covering on some of our play spaces to allow year round play on both hot summer days and during light rain.

2-3 year olds

Within the preschool we have dedicated teachers focused on children from 2-3 years old. These educators provide a balanced programme consisting of aspects from both childcare and preschool. This will help your child to settle when they transition and also prepare them for moving up to the preschool when they are ready.

Toileting and other important self-help and self-care skills are practiced and fostered at this stage. Your child will be kept busy with activities and experiences appropriate for their level and individual needs, preferences and interests. Free choice and mat times are scheduled, yet flexible enough to work around the individual and/or group needs.
