A little about us

At Busy Bees Katikati, we value every child and see them as unique and a special taonga. We understand that your child’s education and care is a priority and that choosing the right centre can be a big decision. We would be delighted to share in your child’s learning journey. You’re welcome to call or visit anytime.

We are open 7.30am - 5.30pm Monday to Friday.

Our Environment

Our approach is guided by the uniqueness of each child. We recognise that every child is different, and we strive to meet their individual needs by creating a safe, nurturing, and challenging environment. Our philosophy, "Ko te ahurei o te tamaiti, arahia ō tātou mahi," embodies our belief in this approach. We are a centre that values community involvement and cultural diversity. We endeavour to get tamariki out into the community as much as possible and take regular trips to the local park and library, where we participate in community events such as Matariki and Christmas parades. We also teach the importance of taking care of our environment by picking up rubbish in our community.

Our centre has a large backyard providing endless opportunities to explore the natural environment! We are proud of our multi-cultural environment and celebrate the uniqueness of our centre and everyone within it. We are confident that our centre will provide a warm, welcoming, and stimulating environment for your child to grow and learn. Please don't hesitate to contact us to arrange a visit and see what we have to offer.

Rooms:

In our Ponga Pepi Ruma for tamariki up to 2 ½ years old we understand the importance of nurturing and providing a safe environment for your little ones. Our caring and experienced teachers create a nurturing environment to support your child's social, emotional and physical development.

Piwakawaka Tamariki is our preschool Ruma for children aged 2 ½ to 6 years old. Our programme is designed to encourage and support children's curiosity, creativity and love of learning. Our team of experienced teachers facilitate play-based learning, where your child can explore and discover at their own pace.

Our School Readiness Programme is designed to prepare our 4-year-old tamariki for their next big adventure - primary school. Our relaxed two-hour daily session from 10 am to 12 pm, focuses on early literacy and numeracy skills, developing social and emotional well-being, independence, listening, following instructions, and self-confidence.
