Child Lead Education

We value a child lead education where tamariki are listened and responded to in a nurturing and encouraging way, and they are trusted to make decisions regarding their learning journey along the way.

Our Rooms

Our emphasis is always on play, believing that learning should be fun. We work in collaboration with families and our community to nurture children’s growth and development so they can learn and discover in a positive secure environment.

Infants (under 2's) - The Nursery

Our Nursery is a home-like modern lounge room which caters for infants under the age of 2. Our Nursery has been developed to create a sense of warmth and security from which our youngest children can begin to explore their world. Every child is valued and in order to ensure a successful start to your child’s education journey teachers will establish a relationship with you ensuring your child’s routine is similar to home and all their care-giving and emotional needs are met.

Young Children (2-6yrs) - Tamariki Nui

Our Tamariki Nui Room has a dedicated Art Studio as well as a variety of play and learning areas to meet the needs of the inquiring minds of our older children.

Transition to School Programme

Our Tamariki Nui Team are in the beginning stages of developing a Transition to School Programme. We are very grateful to have support from our local primary school and with the expertise of Kara and her Primary background and Emma and Hayleigh with their Early Childhood knowledge we are very excited to be developing a programme where tamariki are introduced to school concepts in a fun and inviting way, making their transition into the school environment much easier for them and their whānau.
