Creative Minds Childcare Centre Henderson

Animal play at Creative Minds Childcare Centre sparks imagination and creativity! Through our carefully set up table experiences, tamariki explore animals, create stories, and engage in meaningful play together. These experiences foster language development, social skills, and curiosity about the world around them!

Exploring creativity in new ways 🌿✨ Our tamariki are discovering how natural materials can transform their play dough creations — fostering imagination, curiosity, and connection with nature 🌼🪵🍃

Splish, splash, and smiles all around! Our tamariki are exploring through water play — building curiosity, creativity, and a sense of wonder. Our tamariki also discovered a new twist on water play — washing toy cars! They’re exploring cause and effect, teamwork, and the joy of caring for their toys while having loads of fun 🌈✨ 

🌱 Our tamariki are learning to care for the garden — nurturing plants, growing patience, and fostering a lifelong love for nature. We were also able to enjoy some of our delicious lettuce in our sandwiches! 🌼💧

Where are we? We are conveniently located close to the Henderson shops and easy access to the motorway.

Kapa Haka fun with Rangeview Intermediate ✨️
To kick start our Te Wiki o Te Reo Maori we enjoyed a fun filled morning with our Rangeview Kapa Haka whānau!
We were welcomed with a beautiful Karanga, and then spent some time speaking of our fond memories from past visits with one another. Our tamariki were treated to gorgeous waiata, poi dancing and a Haka that blew us all away!
Our tamariki gave a brave performance with their own poi and Maori outfits too!
Nga mihi Rangeview Intermediate Kapa Haka. Not only for your Manaakitanga but also for the treasured gifts received. We truly appreciate the Ako that was shared between us! We look forward to our next visit e te whānau!

Today Kaiako Lisa kicked off Harmony Month by teaching everyone about the beautiful Island of Niue.

We look forward to celebrating the cultures of all kaiako and tamariki over the coming weeks.
