Laugh and Learn is a privately owned, small purposely built centre designed for children aged 3 months to 6 years old.
We aim to be a ""home away from home"" for your child with a safe, exciting and nurturing environment with high-quality hand-selected resources. Our location is in heart of Pakuranga, on Cascades Rd backing onto Lloyd Elsmore Park.
Our Environment
Laugh and Learn has been designed and created by a team of experienced architects, engineers, early childhood consultants and Tania (Laugh and Learn's Director and a NZ qualified early childhood teacher) to ensure that the environment facilitates children's play and learning and caters for children of all ages and abilities.
We have two rooms:
'Tiny Tuis' room is for ages 3 months to approximately 2 years old and has an average teacher to child ratio of 1:3 and a maximum of 10 tamariki (children).
'Kooky Kiwi's' room is for ages 2 years old to 5 years old and has an average teacher to child ratio of 1:8 and a maximum of 24 children.
Our outdoor play area is a child's paradise where they can become scientists, explorers, creators and leaders in our nature inspired play space. It is a shared space for children of all ages to play together and learn together.
Both our indoor and outdoor play space's are equipped with a large variety of high quality resources which have been hand selected to ignite wonder, curiosity and imagination. Where possible we promote the use of natural resources and support New Zealand made products.
Settling You Child
Having your child/children starting in a new environment can be an anxious experience for both you and them, Some children take this step with confidence, others find it overwhelming and confusing.
Where possible we would encourage that any new children have at least three transition visits where you can come to the centre and spend time visiting alongside your child, giving them a chance to explore and become familiar with the centre and our staff.
It is also an opportunity for you to talk to our team about your child, their routine, interests, strengths, your aspirations and family values. meaningful interactions, experiences, and relationships.
