The Pipi Room is designed to be a safe learning environment for our infants and provides a designated space where they are nurtured while they play and grow. They have their own dedicated outside play area to allow them to explore freely and safely.

Our Paua Room provides a learning space where toddlers can engage their curiosity and learn through play. Age-appropriate resources and modern play areas allow for children to explore and socialise while gaining new skills.

The Toddlers share an outside play area with the Kina and Mako Rooms to encourage tuakana-teina relationships.

The Kina Room is designed for our curious and capable 3–4-year-olds. This space offers a nurturing environment where tamariki can build confidence, develop early self-help skills, and begin exploring more structured learning through play. With a focus on independence and social development, the Kina Room lays the foundation for a smooth transition into the next stage of their learning journey.

Tamariki in this room also enjoy a shared outdoor play area with the Paua and Mako Rooms, encouraging friendships, collaboration, and tuakana-teina relationships.

The Mako Room supports our oldest tamariki, aged 4–6, as they prepare for the exciting transition to primary school. In this room, the learning environment is rich in opportunities for building leadership, problem-solving, and independence. Resources and routines are thoughtfully designed to promote school readiness while still embracing the importance of play-based learning.

The shared outdoor area provides further opportunities for collaboration with younger peers, helping to strengthen empathy, responsibility, and a sense of belonging.
