HeadStart Childcare provides the highest quality childcare and education for children aged from 2 to 5 years old. We are a small exclusive and long established centre with qualified teachers who have been an integral part of our centre for years. We offer a multi-age learning environment where the goal is to build confidence in younger children as well as enhance their language and behavioural skills alongside maximising intellectual potential. Meanwhile, older children benefit from multi-age grouping because it allows them to ‘mentor’ younger children, which builds on their sense of responsibility, and empathy skills.
Our children benefit from establishing long lasting relationships with the same teachers and children for their entire time with us, without the unnecessary stress of moving rooms every year which some centres need to manage.We aim to provide the highest quality childcare to best serve the children and families in our community to grow them into well-rounded, happy and confident learners.
Everyone is welcome. HeadStart is a unique place. It’s a place where your tamariki can explore and grow holistically, in a safe environment that is supportive, caring and stimulating.
Our longstanding teaching staff care deeply about all the children in our care. Your child’s emotional, social, cognitive and physical wellbeing is our primary focus and constant consideration in the programme we provide. Sharing information is key to meeting the needs of your child, so we take the time to build respectful and reciprocal relationships with you and all important family members in your child’s life.
Our philosophy
As an early childcare centre, we believe true holistic development is best achieved through a curriculum of child-led learning and discovery, community awareness and individual acceptance.As a culturally minded and community focused centre, we welcome children of all ethnicities and all levels of ability. Our programme reflects this in the choice of activities, celebrations and learning objectives to provide a rich tapestry of experiences for your child. For you we believe it’s about knowing your child is receiving the best quality childcare and early education possible. For us it’s about nurturing the minds, bodies and hearts of the future.
