Village Green Early Learning Centre

Opening Early 2025 - Enrol Now!

A space where imaginations run wild, Remuera’s first nature-based early learning centre.

You’ll find us nestled in the heart of Remuera, a thoughtfully designed Early Learning Centre; purpose-built to inspire and nurture young minds.

We’re here to provide our tamariki with an exceptional start in life, while offering parents and whānau peace of mind, knowing their little ones are receiving top-quality care and education in a well-equipped facility, guided by a caring team of qualified educators.

We believe that nature is an invaluable teacher, fostering children's learning through play in a natural and relaxed setting. Here at Village Green, we prioritise the holistic development of each child, encouraging them to explore and grow at their own pace.

As a family-owned centre, we value the collaboration with parents, understanding the importance of working together to create a nurturing, fun, and stimulating environment for our tamariki.

Pā Harakeke /Flax Nest - Infants

A glimpse into Pā Harakeke, our room for zero to two-year-olds at Village Green. Within the Flax Nest our dedicated educators provide a nurturing and loving environment where our infants feel happy, safe & secure.

Through primary caregiving, our infants build a respectful, trusting and empowering relationship with their carer to enable them to be confident and competent learners and communicators.

Our physical space is calm but stimulating with a beautiful and natural outdoor area where our infants are able to interact and explore freely at their own pace.

Papatūānuku Playhouse / Earth Mother Playhouse - Toddlers

Providing an environment that sparks curiosity, independence and social competence is crucial for the development of our toddlers.

In the Papatūānuku (Mother Earth) Playhouse at Village Green, our educators ensure that each child feels a sense of belonging and that their emotional well-being is being nurtured. This supportive environment fosters the confidence needed for our children to learn social-emotional skills, develop their verbal communication and build relationships with one another. It’s important to encourage our toddlers to develop a positive disposition to learning early on so we stay attuned with the individual interests each child develops.

Our educators set up rich learning experiences based on these ideas, capturing our tamarisks’ curiosity, creativity and imagination.

Ngahere Noho / Forest Haven - Preschool

Within the Ngahere Noho (Forest Haven) room at Village Green, our educators provide quality early learning experiences to empower our preschool children as they begin to realise their potential and build a strong foundation for later learning.

Through a broad range of individual and group experiences and a play-based curriculum, our Ngahere Noho tamariki develop learning dispositions such as curiosity, wonder and perseverance.

Social competence is a key focus. Promoting independence and self-help skills forms the foundation for preparing children to become life-long learners. Children are supported to take responsibility for their own learning and are encouraged to share it with those around them.
