Exploration and learning lives here… in an environment that is stimulating and challenging and where creativity is encouraged during your child’s crucial developmental years.

Led by an experienced team of highly skilled and nurturing teachers our environment reflects a genuine love for children.

If you’re looking for an Albany Daycare, MyKindy Rosedale is a child care centre that offers high quality care for children aged 3 months to 5 years. 

Our North Shore child care centre is based around the Reggio Emilia Approach and the Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) Quality Framework. The Reggio Emilia Approach is based on the belief that children are natural learners who learn by exploring and interacting with their environment, while the ECEC Quality Framework ensures that our practices meet or exceed national standards.

We offer healthy meals to our children, with a focus on fresh local produce. Our native bush nature trail allows our children to explore nature while learning about sustainability and biodiversity, as well as connecting them back to their indigenous roots. Our purpose built facilities follow best practice guidelines for early childhood education and have been designed so that children can move freely between indoor and outdoor areas throughout the day.

Welcome to Busy Bees Apollo, where we embrace a Reggio Emilia-inspired philosophy to cultivate curious minds! Our focus is empowering tamariki to direct their learning while ensuring they feel supported and safe. We understand that life is busy, so we have an open door policy so you can stop in when best suits you. Pop in today and meet the team!

Our Rooms

Our Fern room (Ages 0-1 Years) is based on building loving and trusting bonds, our kaiako work closely with families to understand infant cues and develop a routine that supports children’s natural rhythms. When tamariki are ready to progress, they will head into the Nikau room (Ages 1-2 Years), and utilise sensory play, outdoor exploration, music, and movement to create a fun, interactive atmosphere whilst maintaining a focus on the love and care that infants need to thrive.

The Kowhai room (Ages 2-2.5 Years) is designed to help our tamariki balance the desire to be independent with the need to be nurtured and cared for. Our next room is Manuka (2.5-3 Years), where our kaiako support the unfolding autonomy of the older tamariki to encourage the child’s emergent personality to blossom.

Our Pohutukawa room (3-4 Years) supports the tamariki with social and emotional competence at a time when they are ready to engage in meaningful play with others. The Kauri room (4-5 Years) is where tamariki start to become more aware of their upcoming transition to school, our resources are reflective of the mediums children will be using at school. Kaiako observe and converse with children to develop projects based on their interests.
