Stems FROM HOME Christchurch - Homebased childcare

Welcome to Stems FROM HOME Christchurch! We are a reputable home-based childcare institution located in Canterbury, Christchurch. With two branches in East Auckland/Franklin and Canterbury, we have been serving families since 2011.

At Stems FROM HOME, we prioritize tailoring our childcare options to suit the unique needs of your family. Our dedicated team of In Home Educators is committed to supporting your child's learning and development in a safe and loving home-based environment.

We understand the importance of individualized care, which is why we maintain low adult-to-child ratios and offer flexible hours to accommodate your family's schedule. Our comprehensive childcare programs include free Stems Playgroup, music and movement group, swimming, gym class, and nature explorers sessions. These community programs enhance your child's learning experience and provide opportunities for socialization.

To ensure effective communication and involvement, we provide you with a daily diary created by your child's Educator, a monthly learning story, and a monthly learning portfolio entry. Our trained and registered teaching team conducts personalized visits to ensure your child receives the best care and education.

We also offer various subsidies, including the 20 hours Early Childhood Education (ECE) subsidy for 3, 4, and 5-year-old children, as well as WINZ child-care subsidies for eligible families. For our Educators, we provide a resource subsidy paid fortnightly, allowing them to enhance their home learning environment.

Choosing the right childcare provider is crucial, and we strive to be the trusted choice for your family. There is a significant difference between home-based childcare and QUALITY home-based childcare, and we are committed to providing the very best for your infant, toddler, or young child. Our MoE licensed and quality provider status ensures that all our Educators have at least a Level 4 qualification in Early Childhood Education.

As an owner-operated service, our team consists of trained teachers and parents who have also been home-based educators. We are passionate about what we do, placing the children at the center of all our decisions. We believe in the power of outdoor exploration and authentic learning experiences, valuing both the children and the environment as teachers.

Don't just take our word for it! Here's what one of our satisfied parents had to say: "Steph and the team are fantastic. We struck gold when we were connected to our son's carer. She is truly amazing. Our little boy was not responding well to daycare at all. It was awful. Once he started with her, he immediately began to grow in confidence and has simply thrived. No more tears, just lots of smiles and lovely experiences. We all couldn't be happier!"
