Little Light Educare is an early learning centre at 7 Wookey Lane in Kumeū, Auckland. Its programme is guided by Te Whāriki, New Zealand's early childhood curriculum, and draws on the ideas of Reggio Emilia and Emmi Pikler. The centre's learning spaces use natural materials and open-ended resources, with indoor and outdoor areas that work together for movement, sensory play and contact with nature. Children are encouraged to make choices and solve problems at their own pace.
Families are involved in the centre's life, and children take part in local outings and community projects. The centre provides nutritious meals, and its new-enrolment offer includes quality nappies. Families can book a visit to meet the team.
Recent news: a new-enrolment offer of three months free was advertised on the website.
Our pick in Kumeū for a family who want a Reggio Emilia and Pikler-inspired centre close to nature.
