We are a community based not-for-profit organisation, proud to be providing quality and affordable early childhood education in the Franklin and Counties Manukau areas for over 60 years. Our kindergartens and early learning centres provide high-quality environments that reflect the local community. We are New Zealand owned and operated and provide more qualified staff, equipment, learning opportun
ities, ICT, excursions and large attractive educational environments. All full-time teachers are fully qualified and registered, who are passionate about their work and who are kept up to date through on-going professional development. Qualified teachers are critical to excellence in early childhood education. Through building warm and nurturing relationships with children, teachers foster children’s skills and success as a learner. We provide experiences and resources that will ensure your child will have the best learning tools to meet the challenges of the 21st century. Our indoor and outdoor environments are attractive, challenging and safe, with a focus on natural spaces and materials. These surroundings support a child’s natural instinct to learn through creation and discovery. We value play as the foundation for learning for young children, and our programmes are designed to encourage learning through exploration, problem-solving, sharing, and inquiry. We acknowledge the dual heritage of Aotearoa New Zealand and the Treaty of Waitangi (Te Tiriti o Waitangi) incorporating Te Reo and Tikanga Māori as a living culture and language is integral to our programmes. We work in partnership with parents, family and whānau because you know your children better than anyone, and we know that children benefit most when their family is involved in their learning.
