PHILOSOPHY
The first years of your child’s life is a time of magic and wonder. We understand the importance of these years, and dedicate ourselves to enabling them to grow, learn and develop in an environment centred on their happiness, security, capability and independence. Read more on our approach here
PARENTS
We recognise that parents and whānau are their child's first and more enduring educators. Our aim is to work in close partnership with parents to complement their approach to childcare. Effective communication means there is a two-way flow of information, knowledge and expertise between parents and staff.
HIGHEST STANDARDS
Both our Huntsbury and Dallington centres have highly, experienced and trained staff that regularly attend professional development courses. We offer higher ratios of staff to children than what the Ministry of Education expects. Our emphasis is on respectful, reciprocal relationships with whānau, caregivers, children and staff.
M.O.E SUBSIDIES
We are committed to offering, where applicable, the Ministry's of Education 20 hours of ECE funding subsidy. If your child is 3,4 or 5 the cost can be fully subsidised for up to 6 hours a day and up to 20 hours a week. To find out more please contact us.
