Belong, Believe and Be yourself
If you believe in sense of belonging, believe in your child and believe that your child can take a lead of their learning by just be him/herself, then come and visit us to know more about it as we share the same vision as you.
Murphys Park is an authentically beautiful, purpose-built boutique centre where we welcome children and their whānau to our respectful and supportive learning environment where their sense of belonging, uniqueness and cultural heritage is acknowledged, celebrated, and sustained by a professional, experienced and friendly teaching team.
We believe that for having a great sense of belonging, relationships are vital, hence we provide the learning environment where children can experience positive relationship building through child-led space where they can make choices, take challenges, explore ideas and the natural world around them, and at the same time feel nurtured, safe, and well cared for, within a play-based context. For us, every child is genuinely capable, creative, and inquisitive with infinite potential. Our children are at the forefront of everything we do here, and we genuinely believe in our children and in their potential and capability to take the lead of their learning and to develop their own learning theories with the support of their parents and teachers.
For children’s long-term success and achievement, we work in collaboration with parents/whānau by involving them in their child’s learning and development journey.
Our beautiful centre is divided in five age-appropriate rooms, each tailored to meet the needs of children at every age and stage of learning.
Our learning journey starts from our precious Piwakawaka room, which is dedicated to infants from 3months to 1 year old. Having a separate room allows for our Pepi to explore, learn, grow and develop at their own pace within an environment designed and catered towards their current abilities and development by a primary caregiver.
Our Kiwi room can take tamariki from 1 year to 2 years old. At this delicate stage, our under2’s toddlers are quite observant and nurturing adults who will respond to their needs. We have individual and group plans to support our tamariki’s physical, social and language development.
Our Kea room is specifically designed for our curious explorers aged 2-3 years. The purpose-built room will thoroughly support the learning and development of toddlers through a rich supply of resources. The environment will support the development of peer friendships during these early years which will set up a strong foundation for our toddlers.
Our Pukeko room is specially designed for our active explorer 3-4years old, where we provide more educational challenges than other rooms while still within a play base fun and age-appropriate setting. We focus on teaching them to take responsibility for their own learning by taking a lead and by providing a stimulating and challenging environment to explore, experiment, discover and to develop problem-solving skills in an imaginative, supportive and playful way.
Our Tui room is specifically for children who are about to start school. They are supported in discovering creative and critical thought processes and are provided with stimulating, challenging and purposeful experiences that introduce children to early concepts of maths, science, art, reading and other curriculum areas. Our Be school ready programme help children to become familiar with the new routines they will find at primary school, like mat-time, managing their lunchbox, self-help skills, taking care of their personal belongings and how to use a pencil properly so they can progress their writing skills, as well as developing essential skills in communicating with others.
All our rooms are equipped with high quality, focused resources designed to spark curious minds and to connect them to the natural world around them. Our internal environment is connected to different age-specific challenging outdoor areas, to encourage physical outdoor learning for children. The outdoor area is inviting, challenging and provide different curriculum areas for children to learn and explore & be themselves.
We understand that choosing an early childhood centre is a big decision. We assure you that you and your child will enjoy your time with us. Visit us today to know more about our Unique centre.
