Meet the Pīwakawaka - Nursery team at St Albans
Pīwakawaka - Nursery Our classroom is set up to support 0-2 year olds to explore, achieve new challenges and grow and learn alongside each other. We have a nest space for our younger children/tamariki to explore with a kaiako away from the hustle and bustle of the busy toddlers. We love participating in messy play and painting experiences with the children/tamariki. We encourage independence through roll modelling and given the tamariki/children opportunities to lead. We love spending time outside when the sun is shinnying and getting out on trips in our community. Our team - Tracee is the head-teacher of this room and is currently on maternity leave, returning in the new year. She has been teaching for many years across a wide range of ages of children/tamariki as well as teaching overseas.
