A locally owned early childhood centre in Marewa, Napier, at 129 Latham Street, part of the Rockmybaby group, which also runs a centre in Havelock North. It takes tamariki from 0 to 5 years old, and the centre's aim is to care for and teach each child, with whānau involved in the child's learning. The group's view is that children learn through play, connection and curiosity, in a place where they feel safe and free to explore.
The centres describe a teaching approach built on strong, respectful relationships between children, whānau, kaiako and the wider community, with each child treated as a unique and capable individual. Families can call 0800 762 569 or email info@rockmybaby.co.nz.
