Brainwaves Preschool

Welcome to Brainwaves Preschool, a beautiful boutique early childhood centre in Silverdale, Auckland, licensed for children aged 3 months to 5 years, and open between 7:30 am and 6:00 pm, Monday to Friday.

At Brainwaves, we see children from a new perspective.   We recognise that every child is smart - it’s just how they are smart that is different.  Some are gifted with language, some with numbers and logic.  Others connect naturally with those around them, have a strong sense of self and some relate intuitively with nature.  Physical movement is the language of some, while others live in the world of colour and art. Some of us move through the world led by music and sound.

Our vibrant and inspiring programme is based on the knowledge that children are natural learners, each developing in their own way, at their own pace, following their own interests, and developing their own inherent strengths.

We aim to offer every child a rich and unique learning experience to give them the best possible start in life and let each child set his or own pace, crafting their own unique journey.

Our values are deeply embedded in all we do:

• We hold love and care as our first languages. Everyone is valued, respected and heard
• We believe all learning is integrated and interconnected and unique for each child
• We value and embrace diversity, individuality and each child’s developmental journey
• We ensure that our environment is appropriate for each child’s developmental stage
• We are child led, encouraging children to take initiative and experience freedom for active exploration and purposeful play.

These things are important to us.   We aim to:

• Provide an atmosphere which supports a child’s natural love of learning
• Create an environment where potential is nurtured and each child discovers their unique personality
• Nurture a sense of wonder and inspire imagination
• Follow a holistic approach that encompasses a child’s mind, body and spirit
• Foster respect, love and care for the natural environment
• Support each child’s growing awareness of their body, feelings, thoughts and attitudes
• Consistently maintain a high quality learning environment where happy, confident and lifelong learners are created.
