Step into our vibrant and welcoming Pepe Room — a thoughtfully designed space where teachers and children come together to bond, play, and grow. Whether it’s curling up with a favourite storybook, engaging in sensory-rich activities, or creating lasting memories through imaginative play, the Pepe Room offers a safe and joyful environment for exploration and learning.

It’s more than just a room, it’s a place where curiosity is nurtured, meaningful connections are made, and every moment supports early development through play-based experiences.

Our Toddler Room is a vibrant, nurturing space designed to support growing independence and confidence.

Here, tamariki are encouraged to explore, make choices, and develop self-help skills in a safe and engaging environment. With age-appropriate resources, caring guidance from teachers, and plenty of opportunities for hands-on discovery, toddlers learn to express themselves, build relationships, and take those important first steps towards independence.

Our Preschool Room is a dynamic and inspiring environment where children build the skills and confidence they need for a successful transition to primary school.

Through a balance of structured learning, play-based exploration, and our unique Mountain Climbing programme, children are guided step by step to develop independence, resilience, and a love for learning. From early literacy and numeracy to social and emotional growth, every part of our programme is thoughtfully designed to prepare children for the exciting journey to primary school.
