Above and Beyond The Lakes

Our CURRICULUM

We believe children should be immersed in love and childhood is a time for fun and exploration.

Our values are strongly embedded in our practice and because we believe children should be immersed in love, we love unconditionally and intentionally seek the wellbeing of all those associated with the centres. We therefore become intentional in every aspect of the curriculum. Nothing is done by default or without thought and reflection. From the way we create our environment to the resources we choose, how we do our assessments, our interactions with children, whānau and each other are all weighted against this intentional response to promote wellbeing.

It is with this in mind that we have examined theory and current practice in Early Childhood and have chosen to place emphasis on creative thinking and arts based learning at Above and Beyond, as we believe this encompasses a very intentional response to the wellbeing of children and society as a whole.

With the increased knowledge available through IT there is a greater need than ever to process and analyse information, rather than memorizing and rote learning and this requires an ability to think in innovative and productive ways.

Arts based learning recognises the contribution of the arts in developing this level of creative cognitive functioning.

Our fantastic centre at The Lakes, Tauranga, includes a purpose built private kindergarten, providing the best in early childhood education. Well established in our Lakes location, we thoroughly enjoy being part of this Bay of Plenty community. 

At Above and Beyond we immerse our children in love, inspiring them to imagine and create in a safe environment.

Our specially designed facilities feature three unique areas tailored to your child's developmental age that lead into spacious outdoor environments, giving them the freedom to run and explore. We have developed an arts based programme to encourage your child to be creative with their skills and experiences as they develop.

Well established in the Lakes community and already full of amazing children, our Lakes centre epitomizes some of AA Milne’s most well known quotes, with the children and families having a strong sense of friendship and belonging. Although available spaces are limited, please contact us if you would like to have a look around or have questions about enrolling your child.

Tauriko Tots

Tauriko Tots is an independently owned childcare centre in the heart of the Tauriko Industrial area.

The centre has risen out of our desire to offer exceptional childcare, education and support to our local businesses, residents and their families by having a place where children can be close to their parents. We will be striving for a hub where children will learn through exploration, wonder, discovery and creativity all delivered with a dose of aroha.

You will experience a relaxed and friendly learning environment where children and families/whānau can bring their own personalities, abilities and skills to share in an unhurried and caring environment. 

Our vision is to prepare all children for their transition to school, teaching them to feel confident whilst forming positive relationships and gaining independence and resilience.  Encouraging them to self-manage their belongings and personal needs will develop confident and competent learners in all areas of their learning and interests.

We have created a fairy tale castle for our Tauriko children, symbolic of the value we place on children and creating a sense of wonder and awe for all who visit. The playground is equally astonishing, with a bike track, water fountain, and a massive environment with big trees, giving the children plenty of space to run and play. Teachers use the environment to set up a range of activities for the children to explore throughout the day.

Welcome to our Castle, a place where kings and queens, knights in shining armour, heroic princes and princesses will come to laugh, learn and play.

Tauriko Playcentre

Nau mai, haere mai and welcome to Tauriko 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!
