The Heart Behind Home of the Brave
Nau mai, haere mai ki too maatou whaanau! Welcome, welcome, welcome to our family at Home of the Brave!
At Home of the Brave, we are more than just a team—we are a whaanau, that bring together a collective of passionate educators, each bringing our own unique talents and strengths to create a warm and nurturing environment for your tamariki.
Our team is dedicated to supporting the growth and development of every child, ensuring they feel safe, valued, and encouraged to explore the world around them. Leading our centre is our amazing Centre Manager, Waveney, whose energy and vision are the driving force behind our vibrant learning environment.
Kylie, our Head Teacher, brings her wealth of knowledge and nurturing spirit to guide the team in creating intentional, meaningful learning experiences. We’re proud of the kaiako who weave together learning opportunities that celebrate each child’s individuality.
From the creative play with Jess, to outdoor adventures with Adrienne, learning how to be a kaitiaki from our 'green fingers', Glenda; and language-rich experiences with Monica, each tamaiti is given the space to thrive, discover, and grow with curiosity.
Our whaanau and community are at the heart of everything we do, and we’re always here to listen, support, and share this beautiful learning journey with you. “He waka eke noa” We are all in this together. As a team, we move forward together, creating a space where tamariki, whaanau, and kaiako all thrive side by side!
