Te Atatu South Childcare Centre

Welcome to Te Atatu South Childcare A small early childcare centre, with lower numbers. Allowing us to provide your child with exceptional childcare and education where your child is our main focus. Family Based Childcare Te Atatu South Childcare is a family-based, privately-owned daycare West Auckland has come to know and trust. Located at 1 Vera Road, Te Atatu South, we are big enough to provide a wide range of experiences to develop your child’s potential, but small enough to know each and every child, and their family. Quality Childcare Children learn best when they work at their own level of understanding and competence, and when they are allowed to explore and discover for themselves. We know building trust between family/whanau and staff is the key. The stronger this partnership the happier your child will be. We work with above average ratios of qualified teachers to ensure they receive the best level of care. Learning Environment We know learning through play is essential for children to develop social and cognitive skills. Our environment and teaching team provide stimulation, meeting the individual needs of each child. We believe that when tamariki are treated with honesty, respect and dignity, they will become trusting and responsible individuals. We believe that continuity of care is essential to the children’s development. This makes us a leading practitioner of childcare Auckland-wide, and we continue to strive to give your children the best possible environment.

Our Philosophy

At Te Atatu South Childcare Centre, we believe that, through everyday experiences, the tamariki will develop social competencies which will support them in future learning success. We value that the early years/childhood is a crucial period for this to evolve. Partnerships between the centre and whanau will help each child achieve a sense of belonging within the centre. We value that time spent through open communication and interaction will build positive, reciprocal relationships and friendships between tamariki, kaiako, parents and whanau and the wider community. We provide a rich learning environment where kaiako work and learn together to support each child’s holistic development. As tamariki play and interact with their peers and kaiako they will be provided with a wide range of options and experiences to explore throughout their day.. Tamariki will have time to speak and to be listened to. The tamariki will be empowered to be competent, capable learners. We believe our environment is inclusive of all people, and is emotionally and physically safe. We believe that when tamariki are treated with honesty, respect and dignity, they will become trusting and responsible individuals. We will provide a stable nurturing environment that allows the tamariki to develop their over all well-being. We believe that continuity of care is essential to the children’s development. These are the elements of our philosophy which we believe have made us a reliable member of the community and provider of childcare in West Auckland.
