Our Centres
128 Archers Road
We have a 2 level centre which has an infant unit , toddler and pre-school area.
Our Baby area caters for children 3 months to 2 years old. As stated in our philosophy, we endeavour that our little ones have opportunity to build trust, ensuring that they have time for uninterrupted play and that they have the freedom to explore. We are licensed for 13 under two's. Babies are transitioned into the unit over a two week period before starting full time at the centre, at no charge. This time is important for our families, teachers and little ones to get to know one another in an unhurried fashion. We follow each child's routine as to what they do at home.There is also a separate outside area for the little ones to explore. Each day we fill in a log in which you will find information as to what your child has eaten ,how they have slept and what little discoveries they have made.
Our over two area is licensed for 25 children and have 3 teachers. The older children's creative endeavours are valued and the natural environment plays a significant role in fostering children's exploration and learning. We have a large outside area with a huge slide and double sandpit.
146 Sunnynook Road
Our Sunnynook home away from home is our bigger hub. This consists of 3 seperate rooms - our Babies, Toddlers and Preschoolers.
There is nothing more precious than to be in an environment where you hear lots of laughter, this gives you warm fuzzies, fulls our hearts knowing that we have happy Little People, this is what you will hear while walking around our Sunnynook home. It is our mission to ensure that all our Little People walk on a path that encourages them to have a love of learning, a love of themselves and who they are, and a love for one another.
Our Babies and toddlers share their outdoor environment making it an easy transition between rooms as they already socialize with one another.
Our Preschool hub is a bigger space, preparing our tamariki for school. Our children are encouraged to work alongside each other, learning the skills of respect, kindness, social skills and relationships. The kaiako work together ensuring that the curriculum is around our child’s interests.

Nutritious catered cooked meals
Children are able to explore the environment and we strive to meet their varying developmental and learning needs. The children experience many tactile opportunities, literacy, numeracy, the outdoors (which includes water, sand and carpentry), block building,family play, art, crafts,puzzles and many more...
Our curriculum is centred around play and the children choose areas that interest them. Our teachers support this interest by noticing, recognising and responding to the learning that is taking place. This is done through discussions with the children and this interest is then extended upon.
Our Mission is to Provide and maintain a stimulating learning environment which is 'a home away from home' for the children and their families.
