Freedom to explore, climb, investigate, create and simply enjoy being outdoors.

There’s something magical about seeing the world through a child’s eyes. 💚

What happens if I put this here? 🤔

Curiosity is at the heart of learning! Through hands on exploration, tamariki are free to experiment, problem solve, and discover at their own pace.

Sometimes the best learning happens when little hands are simply given the space to explore. 🤎

We dressed in yellow, played with yellow, created with yellow and even enjoyed a whole YELLOW DAY! 🌻💛✨

A huge thank you to our wonderful Scallywaggs whānau for getting behind our yellow day!

💛 Together, we can brighten someone’s day.

Learning begins with a question, grows through exploration, and comes alive through play.

What are they wondering about today? What will they discover next? 💭

Curious Minds in Action

Through open-ended play, our tamariki explore, create, and discover at their own pace. Our curiosity led the way as they investigated different textures and materials, building creativity, confidence, and problem solving skills through meaningful play.

We value the process of learning just as much as the outcome, because every curious mind deserves the opportunity to wonder, explore, and grow.

✨ Curiosity sparks learning, and play brings it to life.

Did You Know?

If someone in your household receives a Disability Allowance through Work and Income (WINZ) and your family meets the eligibility criteria, your child(ren) could be entitled up to 50 hours of subsidised childcare per week.

This funding can be used for:

✅ Early childhood education
✅ Before and after school care
✅ School holiday programmes

If you think your family may qualify, pop in and see Andrea or Sarah. We’d be happy to provide more information, answer any questions, and help you with the application forms.

We’re here to help our whānau access the support they’re entitled to.

For our youngest tamariki, every story is a chance to explore, discover new words, and build a lifelong love of reading. One page at a time. 📚✨

Trust grows through connection.

Strong relationships create the foundation for learning. Through shared experiences, kindness and collaboration, our tamariki build confidence, develop a sense of belonging, and create friendships that help them thrive.

🌿 Every connection is an opportunity to learn and grow.
