Childcare options in Tauranga Central

Our Three Learning Areas – Nursery, Toddlers and Preschool

All of our Learning Area ages are approximate as tamariki transition at a pace that suits their individual needs.​

Nursery

Teacher/Child Ratio: 1-3

Our Nursery Area focus is to provide a nurturing and safe environment where your child can reach their milestones with the security of knowing their teachers/kaiako are close at all times. Our kaiako work closely with whānau to provide a similar routine to that carried out at home in regards to sleeping and eating patterns. We also provide exciting indoor and outdoor experiences, in spaces designed and resourced specifically for our babies.

​Toddlers

Teacher/Child Ratio: 1-4

When your child transitions into our Toddler Area, we encourage your child to build on their routines and independence. Teachers remain close at hand to guide and support your child to develop their communication and social interaction skills, through daily activities built into their programme. Our goal is also to encourage their individuality and interests through a wide range of planned and spontaneous indoor and outdoor activities.

Preschool

Teacher/Child Ratio: 1-6

In our Preschool Area, our goal is to inspire curiosity to help your child want to learn. Our teachers promote independence through planned individual and group indoor and outdoor activities. Our Four Year Old Programme focuses on preparing your child for their transition to school.
