Childcare options in Pakuranga

We are a community-based kindergarten offering full and half-day sessions for 2 to 5-year olds. Children’s early years are crucial to their lifelong development, so we understand that choosing a kindergarten for your child is an important decision. We believe in holistic education that encourages every child’s emotional, physical, intellectual and spiritual growth.

Our highly qualified teachers work with small groups of children to explore and build on ideas. “We encourage children’s natural curiosity and guide them to learn and discover more each day so they can become confident, resourceful, imaginative, life-long learners”.

We know how important it is for YOU to develop relationships with the people taking care of your little ones. We encourage whanau involvement with parent teacher evenings, regular newsletters, and fun family events.

Our mixed-age centre provides a place of connection and collaboration, allowing our younger children to be inspired and challenged by the older children, while our older ones learn to share their skills and take responsibility for others.

At Farm Cove Kindergarten our vision is to create a community of learners in an environment of care and respect. Our environment is unique and provokes creativity, sustainability and inspirational thinking.

Our outdoor area is natural and allows children opportunities to explore the environment, climb, run and use their imagination

Literacy, numeracy and science concepts are appropriately and purposefully integrated throughout the programme at Farm Cove Kindergarten.

Farm Cove Kindergarten is situated next to Wakaaranga Primary School.  We are involved with the junior department of Wakaranga and visit the school for special events.

We also have children going on to other schools in the area.  Sunnyhills Primary, St Marks, Pigeon Mt Primary, Elm Park Primary.

Farm Cove kindergarten has four fully early childhood qualified and registered teachers.  Our kaiako/teachers are dedicated to, and passionate about Early Childhood Education, and to the wellbeing, and education of the tamariki/children.  Our quality learning programme is 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.

• Feel confident, develop responsibility and a sense of independence

 Welcome to Trinity Kindergarten! We hope that your association with us will be a long and happy one. Trinity Kindergarten aims to develop a healthy mind, body and spirit in every child. We strive to build a sense of belonging for the child and their entire family. We base our programme upon the principles of the Christian faith to ensure that all children get the opportunity to experience Christianity in their daily lives.

Trinity Kindergarten is a non-profit organisation and a registered charity managed by a Trust. We are privileged to be situated on the grounds of the beautiful Trinity Methodist Church in Pakuranga.

Our kindergarten provides a nurturing, safe and caring environment as an extension of your own home environment.  We want your child to “grow up as a competent and confident learner and communicator, healthy in mind, body and spirit, secure in their sense of belonging and in the knowledge that they make a valued contribution to society” in accordance with the principles of the New Zealand Early Childhood Curriculum, Te Whāriki.

At Busy Bees, we value every child and see them as unique and a special taonga. We understand that your child’s education and care is a priority and that choosing the right centre can be a big decision. We would be delighted to share in your child’s learning journey. You’re welcome to call or visit anytime.

We are open 7.00am – 6.00pm Monday to Friday.

Our Environment

At Busy Bees Pakuranga, we believe that as an early learning, we have an important part to play in our local community and a very special opportunity to positively impact the lives of our young tamariki in their early stages of development. We promote the development of active and confident learners who think, question, seek information and apply knowledge to the best of their ability. We have a beautiful large outdoor space, with age-appropriate area. The spaces are well-resourced for the development of each age group.

Our Rooms

Our space is made up of six rooms, supporting children at each age and stage as they progress.

Seedlings and Saplings – (0-2 years): Our nurturing environment is focused on fostering routines and building relationships. We facilitate age-appropriate learning and development opportunities for your little ones and work alongside you.

Sprouts – (3-4 years) In Sprouts we create an engaging and enriching learning experience tailored to the needs of this age group. Our focus is on ensuring equitable learning for all children as they actively explore and navigate their educational journey.

Shoots – (4-5 years) We offer a transition-to-school program that extends your little ones’ knowledge and introduces them to concepts and experiences they may encounter in a school setting.

Additionally, our centre features a separate Montessori-inspired room, where we seamlessly integrate Montessori principles and curriculum with our Te Whariki ECE curriculum, providing a holistic and well-rounded educational experience.

Regular Excursions

We offer regular visits to the library and our local primary school as part of incorporating our localised curriculum. We are also fortunate to have our very own mini hall, that we visit during centre operational hours to extend various learning experiences for our children.

Celebrations

We proudly celebrate all cultures that make up our centre community. We do this by recognising each individual child, their home and where they come from, and we incorporate these into our day-to-day centre curriculum. This is all part of developing a sense of belonging. We take pride in small centre traditions such as farewells when children are 5 and off to school!

Nau mai, haere mai and welcome to Pakuranga-Rahihi Playcentre

Playcentre is unlike any other early childhood education organisation. At Playcentre, both children and their parents / caregivers attend.

At Playcentre children get the opportunity to learn and explore in a fun and safe environment.

The curiosity and creativity of our tamariki is nurtured in a way that allows them to learn about themselves and their world.

Your child will be given a chance to explore, create, climb, read, sing, experiment, play music, wear costumes, have their face painted (or do it themselves!), garden, do carpentry with real tools, bake and cook, build sandcastles, swing, slide, dance, spend time in nature and get messy.

The activities change every day. Playcentre parents all bring different skills, interests, and cultural backgrounds to add to the rich learning environment.

We welcome families with children aged 0 – 6 years. Mixed age play allows your children to engage with others older and younger than themselves. Pre-schoolers learn how to communicate, share and negotiate with empathy for their younger peers.

At Playcentre, families come together and lifelong friendships are formed.

We welcome you to visit any time during the year. You are entitled to three free visits so come and check out what we do – we would love to meet you and your family!

At Riverhills Early Learning Centre our foremost belief is in Whanau (family). Our most important approach to teaching and learning is to ensure that our families experience a sense of belonging. Our tamariki (children) feel safe and secure the moment they walk through the doors of our Early Learning Centre.

We have a team of passionate and dedicated professional teachers who are open, friendly, fun and exciting individuals. We believe in helping each other, providing positive guidance, extending one's learning through professional development and a commitment to succeeding in being a great teacher. We follow this by the Fish Philosophy in the Workplace. The fish philosophy has four key principles: Choose Your Attitude, Be Present for others, Play at work, laugh, dance, have fun and Make Their Day by including others in your fun working environment.

We value collaboration as vital to the success of our programme and see ourselves as a multi-cultural ‘community of learners’. We also embrace a bi-cultural curriculum in collaboration with our whanau. We further believe that children are confident and capable learners; that begins at birth. Being a mixed aged centre our curriculum supports children to set the pace for their own learning and develop according to individual and group interests. Along with the use of Te Whāriki, we incorporate aspects of the RIE Philosophy and the Reggio Emilia Approach into our programme.
