Busy Bees Pakuranga

At Busy Bees, we value every child and see them as unique and a special taonga. We understand that your child’s education and care is a priority and that choosing the right centre can be a big decision. We would be delighted to share in your child’s learning journey. You’re welcome to call or visit anytime.

We are open 7.00am – 6.00pm Monday to Friday.

Our Environment

At Busy Bees Pakuranga, we believe that as an early learning, we have an important part to play in our local community and a very special opportunity to positively impact the lives of our young tamariki in their early stages of development. We promote the development of active and confident learners who think, question, seek information and apply knowledge to the best of their ability. We have a beautiful large outdoor space, with age-appropriate area. The spaces are well-resourced for the development of each age group.

Our Rooms

Our space is made up of six rooms, supporting children at each age and stage as they progress.

Seedlings and Saplings – (0-2 years): Our nurturing environment is focused on fostering routines and building relationships. We facilitate age-appropriate learning and development opportunities for your little ones and work alongside you.

Sprouts – (3-4 years) In Sprouts we create an engaging and enriching learning experience tailored to the needs of this age group. Our focus is on ensuring equitable learning for all children as they actively explore and navigate their educational journey.

Shoots – (4-5 years) We offer a transition-to-school program that extends your little ones’ knowledge and introduces them to concepts and experiences they may encounter in a school setting.

Additionally, our centre features a separate Montessori-inspired room, where we seamlessly integrate Montessori principles and curriculum with our Te Whariki ECE curriculum, providing a holistic and well-rounded educational experience.

Regular Excursions

We offer regular visits to the library and our local primary school as part of incorporating our localised curriculum. We are also fortunate to have our very own mini hall, that we visit during centre operational hours to extend various learning experiences for our children.

Celebrations

We proudly celebrate all cultures that make up our centre community. We do this by recognising each individual child, their home and where they come from, and we incorporate these into our day-to-day centre curriculum. This is all part of developing a sense of belonging. We take pride in small centre traditions such as farewells when children are 5 and off to school!
