We believe in providing a caring and supportive environment to enhance a child’s learning, through awareness and understanding of individual needs. We aim to provide high quality education and care for 2-5 year olds, within a welcoming environment. Our aim is to bring a sense of home life to centre life.
Our emphasis is on respectful, reciprocal relationships with whānau, caregivers, children and staff. Open communication is of most importance and we encourage family to be as involved as they would like to be in their child’s learning and development at Buttercups Preschool. We look forward to building a special nurturing environment, where children are empowered and have a great sense of belonging, as they explore their current interests.

Although free play will be a large part of the daily routine, we will promote an understanding and respect for boundaries, which work effectively within a group environment. It is essential for children to know what to expect and what is happening next at any given stage throughout their day. This avoids possible anxiety or concern for children, especially when settling at Buttercups.
Many activities will be on offer daily, for example, baking, messy play, science exploration, and art to name a few. Photos will be taken daily, to enable us to share with you what new experiences your children partake in and to document their individual learning. Learning stories and photos will be available for families to find online through the Infocare software. Profile books, including these stories and photos, will also be available. These will be in a hard copy version in the classroom at Buttercups, for the children to view at their leisure.
Please feel free to email, or phone if you have any queries. We look forward to hearing from you.
