At Busy Bees Te Kauwhata, every child is valued as the unique taonga they are.
Our passionate kaiako nurture each child’s creativity, support their growing social connections, and celebrate every milestone and success along the way.
We understand that choosing the right place for your child is a big decision. That’s why we focus on building trusting relationships with whānau and creating a warm, welcoming environment where children feel safe, confident, and inspired to learn.
We would be honoured to be part of your child’s learning journey.
Our team is made up of passionate and experienced teachers who are warm, welcoming and naturally caring people. We see all children as individuals, valuing each unique stage of life, show them respect for who they are and providing equal opportunities to ensure the best possible start in life.
Our centre offers wonderful, safe and fun outdoor spaces where children are provided with a range of diverse resources, including natural gardens and environment visuals, whilst enjoying the fresh air.
Intentional activities and provocations are set up daily throughout the centre, providing calming and inviting spaces, where you'll often hear children, whānau and kaiako engaging in meaningful conversations.
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.
