Snells Beach is home to our established and peaceful Mahurangi preschool. With extensive outdoor spaces both upstairs (for 1-3 year olds) and downstairs (for 3-6 year olds) stimulating imaginative play and learning, the centre is spacious and ideal for all ages.
Our excellent, experienced teaching teams will be ready to welcome you to our Snells Beach Centre at any time. The centre has two separate learning environments, one caters for children between 1-3 years-old. The other caters for children between 3-6 years-old. The indoor to outdoor flow at the centre is ideal for children with an extensive range of areas available for play activities from baking, to painting, woodwork, games and reading.
Children should learn at their own pace and with plenty of free play, so our teachers engage the children on their level – observing, noticing, recognising and responding to what the child is doing.
The structure of the day is organised in such a way as to maximise a variety of learning experiences and to support individual styles of learning.
Each day we have a time together on the mat where stories and songs are shared, and at the end of the day music and phonics. Each mat time is highly interactive and creates a platform for relevant activities to follow.
We provide a high level of flexibility and options available for families. Choose your session times, take children out of preschool for the school holidays with no charge, and we allow for two makeup sessions per term.
