Discover our unique rooms
Our centre has three separate classrooms, each arranged to support the different ages and stages of our tamariki. With dedicated spaces for infants, toddlers and preschoolers, we’re able to offer environments and experiences that genuinely match where each child is at in their learning journey. Alongside this, our newly renovated outdoor playground provides a large, generous space for exploration, play and discovery. Together, these spaces help tamariki feel secure, build confidence and engage in meaningful, age-appropriate learning as they grow.
Our NurseryUnder 2's
Our Toddler Room 2- 3 years old
The Toddler Room caters for children aged approximately 22 months to 3.5 years of age. This room provides children with a great stepping stone to leading their own learning, through opportunities to form strong relationships with teachers and peers. The teachers support a child-led programme, supporting learning and social development through a variety of experiences and activities, using their learning environment to build confidence, have fun, and to empower them to challenge themselves, take risks and extend their current knowledge, interests, skills and abilities.
Our Preschool RoomOver 3's
Our Preschool Room caters for children aged approximately 3.5 to 6 years old. Through the close relationships they have formed with teachers and peers, children in this room are encouraged to be responsible, respectful, and contributing learners. The children lead their own learning, and are very resourceful, practical learners who are eager to learn, and who are encouraged to actively explore their environment, under close supervision and with a degree of controlled risk.
These children engage with teachers, and work independently in our Set for School initiative, which is immersed throughout the daily programme and routines, with resources readily available to them
