About Us

Our philosophy acknowledges that every child is unique and requires total acceptance in order to develop their full potential. We acknowledge our partnership with families in providing a successful programme that promotes high self esteem, empowerment to learn and have respect for boundaries that operate in an effective group environment. The Centre operates within two distinct groups the infants and toddlers and the preschoolers. The Infants &Toddlers and Preschool programmes are available on display in each area and are based on the principles of Te Whaariki – the Early Childhood Curriculum. This reflects the holistic way children learn and grow, focusing on the individual child and their relationships with the world around them.
