Our tamariki and whānau feel a sense of belonging at Busy Bees Terrace End Early Learning Centre, and we welcome new families in, to feel right at home too. We offer nutritious, home-cooked meals and a huge backyard play area for our tamariki. Our teachers live locally, which supports our strong sense of community and comfortable and welcoming childcare environment. We aim to promote the development and learning of each child, through positive partnership with parents and open communication at all times for family, tangata whenua, whānau, and community.
Our Team
Our experienced and approachable team of kaiako create an amazing atmosphere where children feel loved, safe, and cared for. Through quality interactions, laughter, and open communication, we foster a sense of belonging and ensure each child receives tailored care and education to suit their individual age and stage of
development.
Our values guide us in supporting children's learning journeys. Through nurturing relationships, fun, integrity, and creativity, we foster an inclusive environment. Kindness, encouragement, and empathy are evident in our interactions and our kaiako promote independence, offer positive redirection, and encourage children to extend and challenge themselves.
Excursions
Regular excursions enrich the learning journey of children by strengthening their connection with their local community. Through local walks and trips, children embrace these valuable learning opportunities with excitement, fostering a sense of curiosity and a deeper appreciation for nature and the world around them. We value the importance of hands-on learning and strive to create memorable experiences that ignite curiosity and spark a lifelong love for exploration.
Heart Foundation Awarded
We are extremely proud that we have received a Pā-Harakeke Tohu Manawa Ora | Healthy Heart Award from the Heart Foundation for the amazing things we do here to promote healthy food and physical activity.
Our inhouse cook provides freshly made meals for children each day using our Nourish menus and recipes. We believe that through nourishing food, children are fuelled to thrive physically and mentally, whilst enjoying the benefits of coming together and connecting as a group at mealtimes.
Fruit Trees and Vegetable Gardens
Our centre has vegetable gardens and fruit trees. These gardens help tamariki learn through hands-on activities, encourage them to work together to plant and harvest, and teach them where food comes from. They also help children develop a love for nature and care for the environment.
We are committed to follow the aspirations of the New Zealand National ECE Curiculum, 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.
