Little Climbers Early Learning Centre - Dannemora
Welcome to Little Climbers, Dannemora. We are in the heart of Dannemora, located just next to Willowbank Primary School.
We are a great team of qualified, trained teachers to support your child’s learning journey.
We consider our children and families to thrive by building strong, respectful, responsive, reciprocal relationships with them. We believe our relationship with children is the foundation for all other learning. We believe that Reggio Emilia inspired approach to learning plays a huge role in this. The programme sees children as active participants in creating their learning environment within a safe indoor/outdoor programme that fosters their well-being and independence.
We believe in providing a safe environment for children to explore their environment and interact with one another confidently. We have generous outdoor play areas which are separate for under 2 and children over 2.
Young children mostly communicate and express themselves through nonverbal communication; our passionate teachers, with love in their hearts, provide a nurturing environment. We provide unhurried routines and a calm environment for infants and young children. This helps to foster their emotional well-being and develop a trusting attachment relationship with the Kaiako.
In our preschool room, Kaiako supports young children in responding to challenges, taking risks, and undertaking new activities. Through our positive guidance policy, we promote positive behaviour in children, which in turn supports the development of their social skills. We encourage children to develop their strengths and abilities. This helps them to foster lifetime skills. We aim to gear children to become independent learners and foster self-help skills.
Our centre also offers a comprehensive transition-to-school programme. The programme helps build your child’s confidence, encourages independence and social interaction, and introduces structure into their everyday learning. The program includes visits to the nearby school where children get familiar with the routines of the primary school.

Dannemora Kindergarten
Dannemora Kindergarten is an attractive and stimulating environment for children. Our well-resourced centre with its beautifully designed outdoor area, backs on to Botany Downs Secondary College grounds.
The cohesive teaching team at Dannemora Kindergarten value input from the local community.
Families are involved in our many cultural events and are an integral part of the Dannemora Kindergarten community. Parents are welcome within our daily programme.
Our kindergartens have early childhood qualified and registered teachers. The teachers are dedicated to, and passionate about, early childhood education. Each kindergarten has a head teacher plus teachers and support staff. Quality learning programmes are based on the New Zealand Early Childhood Curriculum, Te Whãriki.
Our learning philosophy
For the past 110 years, the Auckland Kindergarten Association has been igniting young minds by encouraging them to explore their imaginations through play. For many of us, kindergarten was where we began our life of learning; it was where we started learning skills like sharing, tolerance, patience, respect and self-confidence.
We view children as capable, competent, life-long learners, and our philosophy encourages children to make their own learning choices, problem-solve and observe and explore at their own pace…with support from teachers, parents, wider whānau and their peers. We value the importance of child-initiated, play-based experiences. Our kindergarten teachers nurture your children’s interests and natural curiosity by working alongside them, expanding language and introducing mathematical and science concepts, as well as literacy, digital technology and sustainable practices.
Our centres have gardens and natural outdoor spaces where children can create, explore, be imaginative and expressive. There’s plenty of room to safely run about, being imaginative and physically active. In fact, the natural world is essential to free-range play. AKA encourages each kindergarten community to explore and enrich their diversity and uniqueness. Some have regular excursions into the local community; some are Enviroschool kindergartens that live and breathe sustainable practices; while others engage in long-term research on child interest-based programmes of learning.
As an organisation, we formally acknowledge the dual heritage of Aotearoa / New Zealand, and work to uphold the spirit and intent of Te Tiriti o Waitangi in each kindergarten. We are accessible, secular and welcoming to the wide diversity of tamariki and whānau who attend our centres, and value ongoing partnerships between teaching teams and leadership staff with families and whānau. We value ongoing learning for teachers, parents and whānau, and the sharing of knowledge, skills and attributes is fundamental to achieving the best learning outcomes for children. Teachers and staff can access collegial professional time to ensure that quality practice is enhanced so current theories of learning and development within New Zealand’s world-class Te Whāriki early childhood curriculum are shared and understood.
