A home-based childcare service with its base at Thyme Court in Flat Bush, Auckland, which places children with home educators in their own homes across Auckland. The service says the home is the first place where children are nurtured, and that the home educators work alongside visiting coordinators, who are experienced and qualified. Each child's programme is designed around their interests, strengths, needs and culture, and the service values open communication between educators, parents and whānau.
Visiting coordinators make home visits from a registered teacher, to support both the family and the child. The curriculum covers music, dance, art, stories, maths, science, nature, literacy and numeracy, and the service says it aims to build real-life skills, confidence and social skills. Families can ring 021 101 2210 or email info@twinklestars.co.nz to ask about places.
