Our philosophy

At Learning Adventures Katikati we are the heart of learning. Our Kaiako support the development of our children who are independent, self-reliant, kind and caring, with a strong sense of their community. Learning Adventures children are known for their ready-for-life confidence. 

Our Rooms

Learning Adventures Katikati has separate rooms for different ages and stages, enabling us to deliver safe, nurturing and age appropriate learning experiences for all our children. 

Tipu Room

In our under 2s room we base our care on providing the best experience for each individual child. Every child has been raised with a different routine and this is reflected in our teaching. Our indoor environment is gentle and nurturing and feels like a home away from home.

Kea Room

Our over 2s environment allows for a  mixture of fixed and fresh learning opportunities. We provide our children with the opportunity to explore, investigate and make discoveries. We have a separate kai area that allows for uninterrupted learning experiences.  Our children are active participants in their learning and use their interests to support their learning and development.

School Readiness Room

Here our children gain enthusiasm and confidence around concepts such as literacy, science, and maths as these are incorporated in their play environment. Our tamariki leave us eager, curious, brave, full of wonder and with a sense of responsibility about their next learning adventure.
