Our environment is warm and inviting, designed to promote independence, responsibility, self-help skills and social development. The centre’s inside and outside areas have spaces that incorporate the integration of all curriculum areas. Children are surrounded by their friends who are of similar ages where they build strong friendships and learn from one another.
We provide a beautiful, large and natural outdoor setting that encourages curiosity and discovery. Our kaiako have close connections with all the tamariki, whānau, and the local community. Every day, we help children develop strong social skills and a sense of responsibility.
Our preschool offers opportunities throughout the day for tamariki to be involved in contributing to the curriculum helping to make decisions about what is set up and sharing their ideas. Kaiako work alongside the children to set up an environment which is challenging, provides curiosity and active exploration. Children’s self-help skills are very important at this stage and children are supported to go to the toilet on their own, wash hands, dress themselves, serve up their own morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea as well as get involved with washing their own dishes after their meals and tidying up their areas of play.
Our sister centre, Busy Bees Kerikeri Nursery is conveniently located within walking distance of our centre and provides exceptional care for children aged 0-3 years old. As tamariki reach the next developmental stage, we collaborate closely to ensure a smooth and thoughtful transition between our centres.
