Quality Childcare, Exceptional Environment
Cherry Grove Childcare has been established to provide what we as parents wanted our children to have in a childcare facility – space to grow and explore, with nurturing, passionate teachers who would support our tamariki to reach their full potential.
At Cherry Grove we believe that every child is born with an innate sense of curiosity that needs to be fostered emotionally, socially, and intellectually. We have designed Cherry Grove to be a place of wonder and discovery. Our teachers recognise that early childhood is a very precious time for children, and understand that every child is unique. Cherry Grove places importance on working in partnership with parents to achieve their aspirations for their child.
Building relationships with our parents and whānau allows us to work collaboratively to best support each child's interests, unique abilities, and cultural diversity. The strong partnerships we have with families is something we are very proud of at Cherry Grove. Children have a wonderful sense of belonging here which empowers them to explore and develop.
At Cherry Grove there are plenty of opportunities to discover and understand your child’s learning style. We have a desire to work alongside you as the parents, to support your child to establish worth and self-confidence, and to nurture their social relationships and create an environment of questioning and discovery.
The environment at Cherry Grove Childcare and Family Centre has been specifically designed to cater for the needs of children from 0-6 years of age. We have nine different inside areas that recognise the importance of providing appropriate group size to allow for more stimulating, responsive, and supportive interactions for infants, toddlers, young children, and their teachers.
Over 80% of our teaching team are fully qualified and will be present to help greet and settle your children on arrival. In partnership with parents, teachers have daily routines which promote calm and settled environments that build trust and anticipation. At the end of each day one of your child’s room teachers will be available for feedback on highlights and joys from the day and to farewell your family until they are next at Cherry Grove.
The outside space of Cherry Grove is unique in Hawke's Bay for early childhood education – it is huge! It is specifically designed so that children have opportunities to run, kick balls in open space, venture into sandpits, play in the loose parts carpentry zone, let their imagination run wild, or to simply sit quietly and contently in the shade of our trees.
