Little Parrots is an early learning and childcare centre at 32 and 34 Gloucester Road in Mount Maunganui, Tauranga. It offers play-based learning built on Te Whāriki, the New Zealand early childhood curriculum, with learning shaped to each child's interests and culture. The centre describes itself as home-like, with a focus on whanaungatanga and strong relationships between teachers, children and whānau. It says its ratios give teachers time to build relationships with each child, and that it invests in teacher professional development.
Families can log in to a secure whānau portal, which uses the Discover Childcare platform to show a child's sleep, care routine and feeding, and share learning stories. Parents can send notes to teachers through the platform. The website also says the centre is run with a strong focus on community, with families invited to celebrate milestones together.
