Our Ruru and Takahe environments prioritize creating gentle and relaxed daily routines tailored to each child's developmental stage. Our focus is on nurturing trusting relationships among children, educators (kaiako), and peers to ensure that every child feels at home here. We provide two spacious rooms within our nursery designed to accommodate unhurried routines suitable for children under two years old. One room is specifically dedicated to infant care, where we honor individual routines in collaboration with parents. Our dedicated nursery team fosters nurturing bonds with all children, emphasizing calm and supportive environments that encourage learning through play, tailored to each child's unique interests and developmental needs.
