Welcome to Minnows!
Minnows is a small, friendly, early childhood education centre, located in the heart of Omokoroa. Designed to have a home-like feel inside and out, our centre adjoins a large paddock and is near Cooney Reserve offering ample space to run around and explore. Our qualified teachers provide a high standard of childcare and preschool education for 0-6 year olds, including a school readiness programme for the older children.
Our Philosophy
We strive to be sensitive to the needs of the whole child (physical, emotional, social, cultural, spiritual, and developmental) in how we care for all the children who are under our care. We aim to be consistently responsive and solicitous to their individual needs and requirements. We endeavour to demonstrate sincere warmth, caring and respect in order first to build a trust so that each child feels secure and then to encourage and provide scaffolding that enhance each child to grow as a competent and confident learner who develop a strong sense of self and in turn develop a high positive self-esteem.
We acknowledge parents as being the first educators of their children and the importance of working together for a positive learning outcome for their children.
