Busy Bees Hamilton East

Welcome to Busy Bees Hamilton East

Our teachers are passionate about encouraging children's creativity, supporting their emerging social interactions, and celebrating their individual successes. We cater for tamariki up to six and we are open from 7.00am-6.30pm, Monday to Friday.

At Busy Bees Hamilton East, our kaiako encourage open-ended learning through the provocations they provide within the centre environment. The identity of the capable learner is visible throughout the centre. Strong relationships with children and their whānau are fostered and we actively work towards engaging with the local Hamilton community.

Manuka | 0-2 Years

Our children in Ruma Manuka are growing quickly. Every week, we see them developing new skills, challenging themselves, taking risks, and forming closer friendships. Our planning is centered around 'Te Whare Tapa Wha', with a focus on taha tinana (physical well-being) as the first pillar.

Kowhai | 2-3.5 Years

The Kowhai room focuses on helping your child build relationships with others and a sense of belonging while they embark on their journey toward independence. We encourage and support this through participation, observation, exploration, and social interaction. At this age, children are active, curious, and beginning to make sense of the world.

Pohutukawa | 3.5-5 Years

The Pohutukawa room's planning focus is on fostering social competence which we are integrating into different learning areas such as language and literacy, motor and coordination skills, arts and crafts, science, numeracy, self-help skills, music, and movements. Kaiako continually observe and converse with children to develop projects based on their interests.
