We are very proud of the new space designed for high quality, culturally responsive care and education. We are excited to establish this service in the Papatoetoe community for kids and whānau. 

The Community KIDS Vision

We really believe in giving our Community KIDS a high quality, culturally responsive early learning experience.

Our vision is for kids from all communities to participate in early childhood education and to be ready for a successful life-long learning journey.

New Zealand is a naturally beautiful and wonderfully diverse place to live. Parents bringing up their children within our communities have the same aspirations of raising happy, healthy and positive Community KIDS.

We share these aspirations with parents, and provide a rich and diverse education and care programme based on Te Whāriki, the New Zealand curriculum.

Our hope is to make early learning accessible to everyone and we offer 20 ECE hours and assistance with WINZ subsidies with focused support for Community KIDS with special educational needs and other priority groups.

We also offer FREE SCHOOL TRANSPORT and our "WHĀNAU FIRST FEES POLICY" ensures that our service is accessible and affordable for everyone.

Welcome to Little Pohutukawa Preschool

Our beautiful modern space is designed & licenced for a maximum of 125 children aged from 0 months to 5 Years old!

Our large open plan indoor space is light and sun filled with a fabulous outside area and wonderful sandpit for creative construction, Little Pohutukawa really is the perfect place for discovering and learning both inside and out.

Our experienced team of professional Early Childhood Educators strive to ensure each and every child at Little Pohutukawa LOVE their time at preschool and has their individual needs met with love, patience and understanding. Our teachers encourage children to think for themselves, make decisions and work towards their own solutions, by expressing their own ideas and feelings.

We work together closely with parents and families to ensure all of our children are happy, healthy and fulfilling their absolute potential for learning. We feel it is a privilege to play such an important part in nurturing and guiding your children through Little Pohutukawa Preschool soon,

The foundation of Little Buddies Learning Centre is centered around the child and their learning. We will provide all children with a calm and peaceful environment where they can have fun, play and learn. Our approach to education for our young Tamariki is based on the foundation of the principles, strands and goals laid out in the Te Whariki.

Filled with wonder and joy each child should have an environment where they can explore uninterrupted both in the indoor and outdoor areas. Free access to stimulating resources for children is extremely important as this is the way for them to be the owner of their own learning journey.

We believe that when children are provided with unstructured, child-driven and unexpected opportunities of play settings, they have a chance to discover more about themselves and others. This also allows them to grow their skills and learn to interact in a constructive way as well as build relationships and resilience. This resilience will allow the child to have the capacity to rebound from adversity stronger and be more resourceful.

The role of an educator is not to instruct a child on what to do, instead is to observe the child and allow them to experiment in their own way, making mistakes and finding new solutions. The teacher will encourage the child to pursue interests by focusing on what the child enjoys and create an environment of learning while the teacher observes. While focusing on their holistic development the teacher will help them build their empathy, tolerance and trust towards others in the face of adversity.

It is important to create awareness and educate the children about their impact on the environment. We will incorporate environmental education into daily routines and encourage practices where the children have an appreciation for their natural environment providing a platform for ongoing new learning.

A child’s whanau is extremely important in their development and we will build a partnership with the parents and whanau, working together to achieve their aspiration for their children, whilst encouraging them to participate actively. Each whanau also brings in their own cultural perspective adding to the diverse culture of our centre where we respect everyone. In order to protect and encourage participation we will celebrate their first language, cultural values and traditions within the centre. This is also our commitment to the principle embedded into the Treaty Waitangi to protect our bi-cultural and multi-cultural community.

Transition is always about change. Adjusting to change is a major experience in a child’s life and so we aim to make every single transition as smooth as possible for children and parents. This will also have a special emphasis on transition to school for our young learners so that they continue to be positive lifelong learners who are positive and confident towards change.

We’re so happy you popped by!

Here at Dream Catchers’ Preschool, we believe in a strength-based approach in our teaching. We are committed to child-led learning, and provide inspiring provocations (set-ups) that engage and cater to a wide variety of learners.

Each child is a unique taonga (treasure) to cherish and nurture. With appropriate guidance from teachers, children learn from us and thrive in a calm learning environment. In turn, teachers can learn a lot from children too! Our patient teachers will go the extra mile to ensure all children feel welcome, safe and have a sense of belonging here.

Each child is different and brings with them a unique set of knowledge and life experiences to Dreamcatchers’. Our strong and trusting relationships with children and whānau (family), enable us to work with you to help your child reach their full potential.

Our Reggio and/or Montessori inspired provocations and resources engage and empower children. This empowerment allows them ownership of their learning and fosters an intrinsic curiosity of the world around them.
