Poppies Preschool is located in a beautiful character villa with a spacious rural setting where children can interact with the natural environment.

Our programme offers a balance of structured and free choice learning experiences that are appropriate to the needs of each child. Our programme will be delivered with guidance, support, understanding, consistency and care in our three areas: Nursery (0-2 years); Preschool (2-3 years) and Prepschool (3-5 years)

Our Prepschool kaiako and tamariki have been working hard taking care of their garden over the summer, the rain sure has been helpful to us keeping everything well watered. The sunflowers are getting bigger everyday and it won’t be long until we start harvesting and enjoying all our hardwork. The tamariki are incredible kaitiaki of their environment here at Poppies taking great pride in their work.

There’s dirt on my shirt, And leaves in my hair, There’s mud on my boots But I don’t really care. Playing outside is so much fun. To breathe the clean air, And feel the warm sun, To stomp in a puddle, Or climb a big tree Makes me quite happy, Just look and you’ll see.

We are looking for a gardener to help us out in the weekends. This would suit a retired person who lives close by.
The work includes mowing, weeding, trimming, sweeping etc.

***Meet the teachers***

This month we have welcomed a wonderful new kaiako in the Nursery, Ellie. Ellie has been with us for a few weeks, and the children have already developed a lovely bond.

"Hi, my name is Ellie! I have been teaching for the past 7 years and absolutely adore my job. I was a student here at Poppies Gardiners Road a few years ago when completing my certificate in Early Childhood. I am in my second year of study for my Bachelor of Teaching in Early Childhood. Over the past year, I recently took a small break to travel with my partner and family to Europe, England and America. I really enjoy getting to know each whanāu and love supporting tamariki to learn and grow each day! I can’t wait to join the Poppies team and get to know you all!"

The sun is out so you will always find plenty of water play here, and it’s always more fun to be in the trough rather than at it!
