CountryLife Educare

Welcome to CountryLife Educare, a home away from home located at Wellington, Woodburn Drive, 83a in New Zealand. As an establishment and point of interest, we pride ourselves on providing a nurturing environment for children aged 10 months to 5 years old.

At CountryLife Educare, we understand the importance of outdoor play and exploration. That's why we offer plenty of outside space for children to engage with the natural environment, fostering a love for nature and a sense of adventure.

Our mixed-age learning approach, known as tuakana-teina, is a cornerstone of our institution. This approach encourages older children to mentor and support younger children, creating a strong sense of community and collaboration.

Our daily programme is tailored to each child's individual interests, strengths, and capabilities. We believe in providing an environment and curriculum that promotes risk-taking and creativity. Through child-led discovery and enquiry, we strike a balance between academic and social learning.

Independence, self-help skills, self-esteem, and problem-solving abilities are actively encouraged and nurtured at CountryLife Educare. We prioritize the development of confidence in one's own culture and identity, while also fostering an understanding and respect for others.

We value the partnership between our centre and home, recognizing the aspirations held by parents and whanau for their children. These aspirations are incorporated into our programme and individual goals. Our passionate team takes a warm and holistic approach to empower each child with the skills they need to become confident learners.

If you're interested in learning more about our CountryLife Programme, we invite you to get in touch. A member of our team will be happy to arrange a visit and guide you through our enrolment process. We understand that every family has different schedules, and our flexible programme will adapt to meet your child's needs.

As an added bonus, we have an onsite cook who prepares delicious homemade meals daily. We even have our own veggie patch and serve natural homemade yogurt, ensuring your child receives nutritious and tasty meals.

Our operating hours are from Monday to Friday, 7:30am to 6:00pm, providing flexibility for working families.

At CountryLife Educare, we believe that children thrive when their uniqueness is valued and when they are provided with support and opportunities to grow emotionally, socially, and creatively. By building on each child's strengths, interests, and curiosities, we guide them to explore the world around them and develop new abilities while forming close relationships.
