Olive Tree Early Learning Centre is a boutique early childhood centre providing quality care and education for 35 tamariki (children) each day.
We are open from 7am – 6pm, Monday to Friday, 52 weeks of the year.
Conveniently located on 45 Cascades Road Pakuranga, we invite you to book a visit to see why your child should be a part of our Olive Tree whanau (family).
Olive Tree Early Learning Centre is a place where children love to play, learn and grow.
Known for symbolising peace and friendship, an olive tree represents our approach to teaching and learning- respectful practice supported by meaningful relationships.
Manaakitanga
Children are at the heart of it all. Love and kindness is the life force behind everything we do and we aim for each child to feel respected, valued and cared for. In our supportive and welcoming environment children and whanau feel a strong sense of belonging.
Whakamana
Each child is empowered to have a strong sense of mana which they are respected and celebrated for. Children are viewed as capable and confident learners and are supported to be the best they can be and reach their full potential.
Whanaungatanga
Teachers place emphasis on connecting meaningfully with whanau. Through warmth trust, support and kindness, teachers establish respectful and authentic relationships with whanau that hold each child’s best interests at heart.
Mana Aoturoa
Children are empowered to learn through play and meaningful engage with their environment. Children are encouraged to explore, discover, find a sense of wonder in their world, and thrive on their learning journey.
Te Whariki is the early childhood curriculum that guides our practice at Olive Tree.
We view curriculum as including all the experiences, activities and events that occur within our early childhood centre. We value the principles, strands, goals and learning outcomes of Te Whariki as being the oar that steers our waka (boat) to educational success, including a love for learning.
To encourage educational success our intentional teachers holistically plan, facilitate and reflect on children’s learning, sharing and celebrating success with parents and whanau. We are proud to use Storypark as a tool to share your child’s achievements with you.
