Additional hours are available at a rate of $4 per hour, or $5.25 per hour if you have attested any of your 20 ECE hours at another service.

Our institution celebrates the cultural diversity of our community through our practices, environment, and program. We believe in supporting children and families to develop a strong sense of well-being and belonging. Our goal is to foster active, self-directed learners who are confident and successful.

Our qualified staff carefully plan programs that align with the early childhood curriculum, ensuring that children are competent in various areas such as numeracy, literacy, nature and science, computers and technology, creative arts, and more. We also prioritize social development through activities like child friendships and trips.

Throughout the day, children engage in mat time where they share information, stories, songs, and participate in movement, drama, and waiata (Māori songs). We also have designated times for morning tea, tidy up time, and farewells.
