Children learn best when learning is meaningful and playful
Choosing the right early childhood centre is a huge decision;
perhaps even one of the most important choices you will make for your child and your family.
You need to be certain that your child is cared for in an environment that fits well with your family values, provides natural educational opportunities and develops confidence, friendships and self-awareness along the way.
Most of all, you want your child to be happy, cared for and to have fun.
At Natural Steps we believe we meet those challenges. Our carefully thought-out curriculum, experienced team and well designed centres are here to support and nurture the children in our care, working with you to give them the best possible start in life.
About Us
Natural Steps Early Childhood Centre was founded in 2009 by Early Childhood teacher Maria Anstis, who has been in the education industry for 35 years. Maria holds a nursing qualification, worked overseas as a nanny and has an early childhood teaching qualification. Her passion for best practice in early childhood development is based on extensive study, experience and an ongoing professional development with groups within New Zealand and worldwide. Natural Steps is a member of national and international childcare organizations and Maria attends and presents at national and international conferences.
As a mother of two children it has given her valuable insight from a parent's perspective. The Natural Steps philosophy has its roots based firmly in this commitment to developing the whole child with strong communications with parents.
