The family-orientated room of Little Tuis is a calm and relaxing space for your infants in which they are supported in learning at their own pace with the help of our kaiako. We encourage our infants to showcase their unique personalities while gaining the confidence to be risk-takers and accomplish milestones that help them grow from dependent babies into independent toddlers.
We use Heuristic Play, Treasure Baskets, Sensory play, Music and movement, and different open-ended resources as the major learning tools. Our infants learn through respectful, reciprocal interactions with their teachers, with the environment, and with these learning resources, and surprise us every day.

Little Tuis (Infant Room)3 months - 2.5 years

Our preschool room is a hive of activity, with teachers setting up a variety of experiences to engage our tamariki. They enjoy being creative and expressing themselves through art, music, and dance.
We take pride in our partnership with Clayton Park Primary School, which supports us with our Set for School programme.
We are grateful that they welcome our 4½-year-olds into their classrooms. These visits help our tamariki build confidence and transition smoothly to primary school once they turn five.
