The Ara Tuhura Room is designated for children aged between 3 months - 2.5 years old.
We allocate a teacher to take personal responsibility for the child’s overall well-being during the settling period. The teacher will then become the child’s key educator.
The teachers keep a record of your child's daily routine using a diary (My Daily Routine) until they turn 1 year old.
The infants' and toddlers’ environment includes a baby gym to support the growth and development of our youngest children.
During the transition to Ara Tipu Room (Preschoolers), the teachers work closely with the preschool teaching team and the child’s family/whanau to ensure a smooth transition process.

Our learning areas are separated into two spaces within the centre, each designated to specific age groups. Clear windows and outdoor fences help maintain a visual connection between the two areas and the learning that takes place within these areas is reflective of the stage of development of the children.
Ara Tuhura Room(Infants & Toddlers)
Ara Tipu Room(Preschoolers)
The Ara Tipu Room is designated for children aged from 2.5 to 6 years old.
Our preschool room supports the children to become independent and confident in their abilities though play-based learning. We support the children to learn essential skills such as self-help, language and communication, numeracy and literacy, sharing and turn and social skills taking through play.
Our unique teaching initiative develops the skills needed to ensure a smooth transition to school for your child.
We organise a graduation event to farewell and celebrate each child's transition to school. We acknowledge the child’s achievements, learning, development, and the contribution they have made within the centre.
