Our children are cared for, loved and safe in our nurturing setting. Families are always welcome, we have an open door policy and cherish partnerships with parents and whanau.

Our team of professional and skilled teachers instil a love of lifelong learning within our children. We are passionate about providing the best start in life for our tamariki, making a positive difference in the community. 

PLAY

Play time allows space for discovery and learning through self driven exploration of the wonders and workings of our world. Play engages a child's mind and body in imaginative activities where natural learning happens. In group play children work as a team and explore various social roles.

LEARN

We nurture and encourage that sense of individuality so that each child will develop within his or her own framework. With this approach and by providing an exciting, creative environment, our goal is to help each child develop competency in all aspects of his or her person: in the social, emotional, intellectual, creative selves that make the whole child.

GROW

Our programs reflect the belief that every child is unique and special, a balance between exploratory play & structured learning is paramount to your child’s development. we foster independence and creative thinking at the earliest stages, providing just what your child needs at each developmental stage.
