Loving care and education since 1999
You want the very best for your child, and so do we!
We know how important it is that your child receives both loving care and an innovative learning environment while they are away from you.
Talented Tots was founded in 1999 by mother-of-five Tina Kennedy, with the mission to provide high quality education and care in safe innovative learning spaces. Tina continues to lead us in delivering this mission.
Since we first opened all those years ago we have established two more centres and become skilled at creating learning programmes and care routines that successfully support children to become happy, secure life long learners.
We proudly employ teachers with whom we would entrust with the care of our own children and grandchildren, and we are hand-on-heart proud of the quality and commitment of our teaching and leadership teams.
Philosophy
Our philosophy is based on the principles and goals of Te Whariki, the New Zealand Early Childhood Curriculum.
Our staff and centres acknowledge and value the principles of The Treaty of Waitangi and ensure the success of all learners including Ministry of Education identified priority learners: Maori, Pacifica, Infants and Toddlers.
We aspire for all children to grow up as competent and confident learners and communicators, healthy in mind, body, and spirit, secure in their sense of belonging and in the knowledge that they make a valued contribution to society.
We believe children learn and develop in an environment where they are happy, secure and that they enjoy themselves through being exposed to a wide range of learning opportunities, alongside warm caring staff. This in turn will promote the holistic way that children learn.
We believe that early childhood experiences promote the well being of the parents, family and child, and will increase the opportunity for success throughout the child's life.
Each centre has an individualised teaching and learning philosophy statement displayed in the centre foyer.
This centre caters for infants, toddler and young children in two separate rooms and outdoor play areas. This ensures optimum safety for our youngest learners.
Each room has a Head Teacher who will work closely with you to develop an individual plan to support your child's transition and learning at the centre.
Children enjoy warm nutritious meals and snacks provided by our centre cook and the relaxed unhurried routines in the centre. Being close to the local community our older children often visit the library enriching their love for reading and books.
Upon enrolment you will have access to your child's online learning portfolio where teachers regularly post learning updates and photos of your child for you to enjoy and cherish.
