A little about us

Kia Ora and Welcome to Discovery

Discovery Early Learning Centre is dedicated to providing opportunities for children to learn and grow in a supportive and fun environment.

Located in Kelson, we are a community-based centre providing quality early childhood education to the Lower Hutt community. We provide care and early childhood education for children of 2-5 years.

Our staff are qualified or in training early childhood teachers and have years of experience working in early childhood education centres.

Opened in April 2007, Discovery’s bright new purpose built centre has been established by the Discovery Christian Centre Trust.

Philosophy

At Discovery we welcome everyone as family, and we believe that every child is unique and a precious gift with God-given strengths and so…

Through loving relationships, we nuture the growth of each child’s spirit, body, and mind - taha wairua, taha tinana, taha hinengaro

Through beautiful natural learning environments, we invite tamariki to grow their sense of wonder

And with positive guidance children will flourish in an atmosphere of peace

nga tamariki ma hea taonga nga te Atua, Psalm 137:3

Something Different!

Join Us at Bush Kindy!

We regularly take our tamariki walking to a local bush area.  This is an opportunity to explore and connect with nature.  We are encouraging children to respect and be stewards of our natural environment.  Through Bush Discovery children develop:

  • Confidence to explore the natural world and direct their own play
  • Well-being and trust for themselves and others
  • An ability to take calculated risks
  • Perseverance and team work
  • A sense of wonder  and awe of God’s creation
