Our Community

Our tamariki and whānau feel a sense of belonging at Busy Bees Lake Terrace, and we welcome new families in, to feel right at home too.  Our teachers live locally, in Burwood and surrounding suburbs, which supports our strong sense of community and comfortable and welcoming environment. 

Our Programmes

In addition to our regular early education curriculum, we offer our Kaitiaki Kids programme, a weekly excursion, run termly, allowing the children to venture out into our community visiting local parks, red zones, wetlands etc.
We also offer a before school programme, and liaise with local primary schools; coming together and host transition to school evening with the involvement of primary school teachers and principals.

Our Environment

At Busy Bees Lake Terrace in Burwood, our spacious centre environment offers separate indoor and outdoor areas tailored to each age and stage of learning and development, as well as areas where tamariki can come together to share tuakana-teina (older-younger child) interactions where wonderful teaching moments are shared.

Lunchbox

We are proud to be a lunchbox centre. This promotes independence as well as encourages self-help skills in preparation for school.  We encourage families to make healthy food choices and ensure their child’s pouaka kai (lunch box) meets centre guidelines as well as Ministry of Health criteria for Early Learning Services.

Our Curriculum

We are committed to follow the aspirations of the New Zealand National ECE Curriculum, Te Whāriki. Te Whāriki envisages kaiako in early learning settings working in partnership with parents, whānau and community to realise this vision. The expectation is that, in their early years, children will experience a curriculum that empowers them as lifelong learners, right from their early exploration of the world around them, through to preparation for school.

Testimonials

Staff are very involved with my daughter, I see them dancing, laughing and giving cuddles. Very supportive during transitions of rooms and toilet learning. There has never had a day she didn't want to attend - she looks forward to going every day, definitely part of our extended family. Soon to have another of my children with you guys, with a sibling discount! Beautiful and exciting environment, with new things to explore and learn about.

Parent Feedback

Ever since my son started attending, he has become more confident in his own abilities. He adores all his teachers and we hear endless stories of all the good things they teach him on a daily basis.

Parent Feedback

I have been really happy with the teaching and care my son has received in both the Preschool and Kindy rooms. My daughter is currently transitioning into the Nursery, and the teachers in there have been super friendly and caring towards her too. I feel sure that both of my children are safe and well cared for.

Parent Feedback

The teachers are amazing and they are really caring and thoughtful. My son feels comfortable with them and they have made hand offs easy.
