A family-owned early learning centre on Albany Highway in Rosedale, taking children from babies through to preschool age, 0 to 5 years. Each room is set up for the age and stage of the children in it, from the layout and play equipment to the bathrooms, sleep spaces and daily routines. Babies have their own room with a focus on movement and close, one-to-one interaction. Toddlers move through a relaxed room that builds self-help skills, and preschoolers follow a play-based programme that introduces literacy, numeracy and social and emotional skills. The centre decides with each family when a child moves up to the next room, so the timing suits that child.
The teachers are qualified and experienced, and many of them are parents too. The centre takes a holistic view of each child, covering social, intellectual, physical and emotional growth, with plenty of imaginative play and outdoor time. Enrolments are open now, and a visit can be booked by phoning 09 415 1665.
