About All Saints Early Learning Centre

All Saints Early Learning Centre is an early learning centre on Ponsonby Road in Ponsonby, Auckland, run as a not-for-profit, community-owned and teacher-led centre. Its programme follows Te Whāriki, the national early childhood curriculum, with a strong influence from the Reggio Emilia approach out of Italy, treating each child as a capable, confident learner rather than someone simply being minded through the day. The centre environment is set up as a learning tool in itself, with teachers working alongside children as co-constructors of knowledge rather than instructors, and a stated commitment to nature, sustainability and respecting the bicultural heritage of Aotearoa New Zealand. Parents and whānau are treated as part of the curriculum too, with their input and perspectives folded into how the centre runs. On Ponsonby Road in Ponsonby, this centre offers that community-led, Reggio-influenced approach to early learning.
