Home away from home experience
At a time when many early childhood operators are building larger centres, we’re going the other way. We have built a new centre for a smaller number of children maintaining a focus on quality care for a roll of 10 under two’s and 20 over two’s.
Our centre and facilities are purpose built
Right down to controlled temperature, solar power, woollen insulation, mercury free lighting. Small Wonders has been architecturally designed to create a very stable and safe child care environment.
Hands on owner managed centre
Small Wonders is owned by Peter Williams & Helen Novak. In the past Peter has owned a number of ECE Services and Helen was involved in Home Based Services. Peter & Helen are passionate about providing a high quality childcare offering to our local community.
We practice sustainable design
Small Wonders is environmentally friendly and “Going Green” will be a key focus in the everyday activity in the Centre involving the children.
Our educators are passionate and committed to supporting families in their early learning childhood journey. And our centre is custom built to enable them.
Well positioned centre
We’re located on a quiet street close to Raumati Beach Village and other amenities such as the beach, and Raumati Gardens.
We’re close to the local Primary School (Raumati Beach School) which is an advantage when children are transitioning and for families with children of different ages; there is also another primary school in Raumati South which is approximately 3km away.
We are also in easy walking distance to Kapiti College and the new Performing Arts Centre.
There is great access to public transport with a bus stop directly outside the centre – buses travel from the Paraparaumu Railway Station to Raumati Beach shops every 20 to 30 minutes in peak hours and hourly at other times.
Within the centre
We have crafted a perfect environment for early childhood learning. The building has been designed to maximise indoor outdoor flow . The building itself is powered by solar energy making the centre self-sufficient in electricity. We use double glazing, woollen insulation.
Every health and safety precaution has been designed into our centre. We have easy to clean and fire retardant surfaces, lead-free paints, mercury free fluorescent lighting and low energy usage for all our electronic equipment and appliances.
