We believe that our Daycare centre should be a place where children develop a strong sense of belonging and feel valued for who they are. At the Grange we have built our curriculum on the understanding that when children feel physically and emotionally safe they are able to explore, discover, build relationships, develop their passions and interests, learn and develop with and alongside others.
Our Early Learning Centre is particularly convenient if you are looking for warm and loving childcare in West Auckland and live or work around Sunnyvale, Henderson, Glen Eden, Glendene, Kelston or Te Atatu.
Why Choose The Grange?
- We are a small privately owned, family run centre with only 37 children, so your child won’t get lost in the crowd.
- We are a well established centre which has proudly been running for over 25 years in the Sunnyvale Community.
- In 2018 The Grange Early Learning Centre was reviewed by the Education Review Office (ERO) and received their highest ranking of a 4 year Very Well Placed review. 4 year reviews are only achieved by Centres consistently showing outstanding quality and we are the only centre within a 3km radius to achieve this.
- We grow our own fruit and vegetables and work hard at being environmentally considerate.
- stable, loving and caring staff that chose this career for all the right reasons.
- An early childhood qualified owner (This means that the owner knows how to run a quality centre where children and staff always come first.)Our unique programmes
- Excellent ratios and teachers
- 1:3 for children under 2 years of age.
- 1:6 for children over 2 years of age
.
We also offer daily activities and programmes like:
- Music for young children classes, baking, gardening, science, sports (gross motor skills) 2 year old programme (focuses on language extension through age appropriate activities), literacy, maths and an 'out and about' programme where the children visit local parks and libraries every Friday (4 year old children only).
We offer sensory play, reading and other enriching activities daily (as well as water play during the warmer months). We believe children should be given a balance between free play and the option to join in a wide range of activities to extend their interest. Our outdoor area was landscaped with the children's ages and stages of development in mind. We have real grass, lots of trees and bushes for the children to explore.Our natural outdoor play space is HUGE (much larger than the government requirement) and made of natural materials, with real grass. Just like an old fashioned ‘kiwi backgarden’.
