This is a calm room for out littlest tamariki - we implement the RIE philosophy: a relationship-based approach of respectful, responsive, and reciprocal care is foundational to an infant’s early relational health and overall development. RIE is rooted in child development, backed by science, and supported by real world experience. It is focused on relationships, primary caregiving and predictable consistent routines.
Our environments are calming and comforting spaces with muted tones and resources available at children's level.

Discover our unique rooms
We offer three distinctive rooms tailored to your child's developmental stage: Infants, Toddlers, and Preschool. In each of these thoughtfully designed spaces, we are licensed to accommodate up to 25 children. Every child in our care receives personalised attention through individualised learning plans - based on their learning needs and their whānau aspirations, and they have access to a diverse and stimulating array of resources and opportunities to support their growth and development.
Infants
Toddlers
Our toddlers room is an organised space with resources set up and available for children to access themselves for their budding independence. Toddlers are a busy age, and purposeful activities are planned to extend their learning and invite their curiosity. This room is also a calm and comfortable environment with muted tones to allow focus and time to rest when needed.
Preschool
We support our preschoolers growing awareness of themselves as learners, their increasing capacity for language, inquiry and understanding of differing points of view. We provide opportunities to experience new challenges, participate in long term projects and ensure our children and families make a smooth transition to school. We provide resources for their self access and implement predictable and consistent routines.
