Busy Bees Papamoa Beach

Busy Bees Papamoa Beach is a renowned establishment located in the beautiful coastal town of Papamoa, New Zealand. Situated just moments away from the pristine Papamoa Beach, our center offers a unique and enriching learning experience for children during their early years.

At Busy Bees Papamoa Beach, we prioritize creating a stimulating, safe, and nurturing environment for your children to learn and grow. The sound of waves crashing onto the shore can often be heard in our center, providing a serene backdrop for their educational journey.

Our passionate and dedicated kaiako (teachers) place a strong emphasis on building a sense of community among our tamariki (children) and center whānau (family). Every Friday, we gather in the 'Hive' as a center to have fun and celebrate recent events, fostering a strong sense of connection and support among our tamariki and kaiako.

We understand the importance of nutrition in the development of young children. That's why our kitchen, the heart of our daycare center, is led by a talented chef who creates healthy, well-balanced, and nutritious meals. Our food is minimally processed, avoiding recipes high in added sugar, and instead utilizing fresh, real, and wholesome ingredients.

As part of our focus on independence and self-help skills, we have a special Lunch Box Day where children have the opportunity to prepare their own meals. This promotes independence and prepares them for their future school years.

Our center is divided into different age groups, each designed to cater to the specific needs and interests of the children. In our Nest space for children aged 0-2 years, we prioritize settling-in processes, messy play, and art activities to nurture their natural curiosity and development.

The Hive, for children aged 2-4 years, focuses on cause-and-effect activities that develop social and emotional skills. Our child-led curriculum and individual development plans ensure that each child's interests and curiosity are nurtured.

In the Bumblebees room, for children aged 4-5 years, we encourage autonomy and choice in activities, allowing them to pursue their interests and develop self-help skills. We also organize excursions to support their pre-literacy skills and provide a mini primary school experience that promotes independence and responsibility.

We understand the significance of the first five years of a child's life and strive to provide a nurturing and supportive environment that prepares them for their future journey. Our dedicated staff goes above and beyond to ensure every child feels welcome and loved.

Don't just take our word for it, here's what one parent had to say: "I love that you use natural materials for learning and let kids learn at their pace, no pressure. Have always been friendly and made me feel comfortable all the time. Keep up the good work!"

At Busy Bees Papamoa Beach, we believe in providing the best possible start to your child's educational journey. Come and join our buzzing community today!
