Gingerbread Cottage is a homebased childcare service licensed by the Ministry of Education Regulations. We operate under our umbrella Organisation, Edubase. Our qualified Early Childhood Education Visiting Teachers work closely with each family to provide for the individual needs of the child placed in our care. Our teaching team are committed and passionate about providing quality care and education for preschool children.
Our aim is to enrich the learning of each tamariki we form strong community connections, developing links within the home and the learning environments of our Kaiako. Tamariki learn respect for people, places and things, shaping Aotearoa and developing an appreciation of New Zealand’s dual heritage. We continually strive to develop knowledge and an understanding of the cultural heritages of both partners to Te Tiriti o Waitangi – supporting a holistic approach to learning which is guided by our NZ Early Childhood Curriculum, Te Whāriki.
Educators offer comfortable, small group sizes, fostering respectful and reciprocal relationships, promoting tikanga Maori within their practice.
