Melodies preschool provides a high quality standard of care and education to children aged 2 -5 years
We are a small boutique preschool that provides a unique programme which includes specialist music, dance, drama and art sessions. We also deliver Gill Connells Smart Steps programme to ensure children have the best opportunity to learn and develop through movement. Our small roll and high teacher to child ratio allows teachers to develop strong nurturing relationships with children and whanau and allows the child to follow their interests and grow and learn at their own pace. Melodies preschool is a wonderful place where your child can truly learn, explore and have a wonderful time to their full potential.
Philosophy
Every new experience is an opportunity to learn and grow; childhood is the most critical time to build physical, mental and emotional foundations for their future learning and development.
At Melodies Preschool we have dedicated, qualified, experienced staff to ensure a safe, kind and friendly environment, where your child has the opportunity to grow and develop a love for life long learning. We believe that children learn and develop through practical experiences and provide a wide range of high quality resources and facilities where children can explore and discover at their own pace.
Within our programme we adopt Te Whariki Early Childhood Curriculum, Carl Orff’s Approach for teaching music,dance and drama and also your child’s individual interests to create fun, meaningful and holistic learning experiences.
Since the beginning of time, children have not liked to study. They would much rather play, and if you have their interests at heart you will let them learn while they play; they will find that what they have mastered is child’s play.
