For Families
Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi engari he toa takitini
I come not with my own strengths, but bring with me the gifts, talents and strengths of my family, tribe and ancestors
Welcome to home-based childcare!
Early Childhood Education
Your child's teacher will plan a curriculum that supports "play-based learning". They provide uninterrupted time and spaces so your child may develop social, cognitive and emotional skills through their own interests and in creative and innovative ways.
Play based learning
A child's future can be greatly influenced by their attitude towards learning. Our educators are skilled in providing learning environments and opportunities that encourage open-ended play based learning. Learning through play teaches creativity, which is fundamental to growing intelligence and the ability to problem solve. When children are able to take their time and make multiple attempts before achieving success, they build resilience and other important skills needed later in life.
Build self esteem
Your child already knows how to play and our educators know how to set the scene at the child's level, playing and providing encouragement of new ideas, even ideas that don't make sense to us. This fosters and boosts children's self-esteem and equips them with the tools they need to succeed academically and socially.
Create a love of learning
Whether indoors or outdoors, at home or out and about in the community, our educators will guide your child to uncover their interests, celebrate their uniqueness and instill a natural love of learning.
Choosing an Educator
You are entrusting your child to another and we want to help you make a decision that is right for you and your family. It is important you choose an educator that you and your child are comfortable with, one that fits with your values and requirements.
We carefully select our educators based on experience, qualification, prior learning, proven skills and personal attributes. We look for passionate people who love working with children and their families.
Your child will be learning in a small group setting, with no more than 4 children at any one time. They will receive all the care and cuddles they need to thrive.
