Busy Bees Feilding

Gladstone Street Puddleducks’ are proud to have served the Feilding community for 20 years and are excited to open our new purpose-built Centre here in our fabulous neighbourhood and are welcoming viewings and enrolments now for your child’s early learning journey.

At Gladstone Street we are committed to offering the best education and care for your child. Our primary care for infants and toddlers from your degree trained teachers is second to none, along with great teacher to child ratio will give your child a great sense of belonging and wanting to be in our Centre. We value free movement philosophy which means your child will not be strapped into any devices and allowed to physically develop in their own time, in their own way. Along with your child’s own bed, with quality linen, nappies, bibs, wipes and nutritious food prepared daily by our onsite chef (with morning and afternoon tea and a full cooked lunch), we are your one stop Centre.

In the preschool environment we trust that your child will lead their own learning where our teachers intentionally observe what your child’s current ideas, urges, fascination and interests are and work to support extending your child’s thinking and excitement for learning, in partnership with you the family.  Everything that our early learning setting does is guided by NZ’s ECE curriculum which aligns itself with the NZ curriculum for when your child continues their learning journey after graduating here at Gladstone Street. Our fun @ four programme which is offered to all four years olds is a fun journey for your child’s thinking and wonderment for learning will be provoked and celebrated.

Our commitment to our land, community and families are paramount, we wish to be as sustainable as possible, growing kai, learning how to be kaitiaki (guardians) of te whenua (the land). With reusable nappies, wipes, flannels for hands and faces and our own wet bag, our environmental footprint will be low, and your child will become an advocate for the environment.

As we are in close proximity to the CBD your child will be active within our neighbourhood.  We have connected with local businesses and we will have many walking trips and things to do.  Along with sessions of pilates and fun football, as a Centre our Kaupapa (philosophy) is to have the heart of the child, is central to all that we do.

So enquire now, contact us for an appointment to view your new Centre and be part of a wonderful early learning journey.
