Settlement Road Early Learning

What makes us unique?

We provide opportunities for children to explore, discover, create, and imagine by providing innovative learning experiences in our wonderful indoor and outdoor learning environments. Our amazing playground is large enough to contain many native trees to give us natural shade and fresh air. We love harvesting fresh fruit and vegetables from our several fruit trees and kitchen garden that our children lovingly nurture through regular watering and removal of weeds. We also work together with KidsCan to provide a nutritious morning tea, lunch, and afternoon tea for each child.

We are a play-based, child-led kura and believe that each child is an individual. As educators, we value and develop each child's strengths, interests, skills, abilities, and knowledge to extend their learning. Our passionate and dedicated team work together in nurturing each child's growth and education and upholding manaakitanga with our tamariki, whānau, and community.

We are a culturally rich and diverse early learning centre. Our respect for individual differences underlies all that we do. We design a local curriculum based on whānau aspirations that reflects the values and extends the richness of the diversity of our children, staff, and families. We support smooth transitions, be it from home to the centre or vice versa. We work hard to ensure that all our tamariki feel a sense of belonging and that our centre is their home away from home.

Reuse, reduce, and recycle! We are part of the Enviroschools programme.
