Tiere (Cherries) Room0-1 years old
Kerepe (Grapes) Room1-2 years old
Here we provide a dynamic, nurturing environment that supports the rapid growth and development typical of this exciting stage. Children in this age group are naturally curious and eager to explore, and our carefully designed space encourages safe movement, hands-on discovery, and increasing independence.
Our experienced kaiako take the time to build strong, trusting relationships with each child, fostering a secure base from which they can confidently engage with the world around them. Through play-based learning, familiar routines, and intentional teaching moments, we create meaningful experiences that support language development, social interaction, and emerging self-help skills.
We pay close attention to each child's interests and developmental needs, tailoring our approach to nurture their sense of agency and belonging. In this supportive setting, children are encouraged to make choices, express themselves, and form connections—with people, materials, and ideas—laying the foundation for confident, lifelong learning.
Aperekoti (Apricots) Room2-4 years old
Our programme offers a vibrant, engaging environment where rich, play-based learning supports every aspect of a child’s development. At this stage, children are becoming more expressive, social, and curious about the world around them. We nurture these emerging skills by providing hands-on experiences that spark imagination, encourage exploration, and promote guided discovery.
Our qualified and caring teachers create meaningful learning opportunities that foster communication, collaboration, creativity, and confidence. Through play, storytelling, art, music, and movement, children are encouraged to express themselves, build friendships, and develop a strong sense of identity and belonging.
As children grow in independence and begin to make sense of their experiences, we support them in developing the foundational skills—social, emotional, cognitive, and physical—that will prepare them for the next stage of their learning journey.
Pītiti (Peaches) Room4-5 years old
We offer a specialised school readiness programme designed to nurture independence, resilience, and a genuine love of learning. In a balanced setting where structured activities blend with ample opportunities for free play, children explore and develop essential skills in a supportive and stimulating environment.
Our carefully planned activities build early literacy and numeracy through interactive storytelling, group reading sessions, and engaging numerical games. Problem-solving is encouraged through age-appropriate challenges and hands-on projects, while everyday tasks support the growth of self-help skills that foster independence.
By integrating both guided learning and creative exploration, our programme not only builds academic foundations but also nurtures curiosity and confidence. This comprehensive approach helps each child transition smoothly into primary school, equipped with the social, emotional, and cognitive tools they need for success in their next learning adventure.
