Coastlands Preschool is situated by the beach in the peaceful surroundings of Coastlands. We believe that children need space to learn and grow so we provide significantly more indoor and outdoor space than is required. These spacious indoor and outdoor learning spaces ensure the children have plenty of room to engage in a wide selection of play activities.
Coastlands Preschool caters for children aged zero to five years old. We have three separate learning areas - one for infants and toddlers, one for toddlers and young children and one for young children. Each of these learning areas has two spacious inside areas and a large outdoor space.
We run transitioning programmes so children move easily to their next educational setting, whether that is going into the next room or entering school.
Values are embedded into the centre philosophy. These values help children develop respect, honesty, kindness and perseverance.
At Coastlands Preschool the ratio of children to staff is kept low and quality teaching is always in place. An low turnover of staff has ensured all of our children are familiar with their teachers. This has led to enriched relationships and a firm sense of belonging. Our Education Review supports this aspect of our centre.
We would love to see you, so come along for a visit, and see for yourself what a fantastic environment we have. We welcome you to visit any time, any day.
Our Philosophy
The Child
The child is at the centre of all that we do. Caring and nurturing relationships instil a sense of self worth and optimism within our tamariki. Our infants and young children are allowed to unfold naturally in an environment that encourages natural movement and growth, at their own pace. We recognise the urges that children have and provide opportunities for these to be carried out.
The Environment
We view the the environment in which our children play and learn as the third teacher. By providing resources to promote creativity, experimentation and open ended play, our children are limited only by their imagination. We appreciate the beauty of the natural environment and recognise the importance of allowing children to spend time in this, both in and out of the centre.
