We are a beautiful and aesthetically designed new facility situated in the heart of Hastings. We offer exciting yet calm and engaging environment. Our building is modern, spacious and has separate activity areas and rooms for children from 3 months to 6 years old. Our outdoor play areas are custom made to mirror our educational curriculum and split into various age appropriate areas to augment learning for all children.

Our Philosophy

“Ko te ahurei o te tamaiti árahia o tátou mahi”. Let the uniqueness of the child guide our work

At Cribs2crayons, we believe:

• In a play-based programme where teachers use children’s interests as a vehicle to facilitate their learning

• In empowering children by supporting them to make their own choices and lead their own learning

• Each child is an individual whose preferences, culture, language and identity should be respected and celebrated

• Relationships are the foundation for learning, therefore we strive to build caring, trusting relationships with our children and their whánau

• Parents and whánau are part of the centre, and will be encouraged to share in the daily programme

• Our teachers are learners too, and will engage in regular professional development to ensure practices are current and of the best quality
