In our under-2s space, we focus on creating a warm, responsive environment. Infants are encouraged to explore and engage through sensory experiences that build trust, confidence, and a strong sense of belonging.

"Teaching the Magic of Waiata"
Taonga and Pipi RoomUnder 2's
Paua Room2-3 years old
Our 2 to 3-year-olds enjoy activities that support their growing independence and developing language skills. Through a mix of imaginative play, sensory experiences, and guided exploration, we help these young learners make sense of the world around them.
Moana Room3-4 years
Children in this age group are building friendships and becoming more involved in group activities. Our 3 to 4 years old programme is designed to encourage collaboration, problem-solving, and early literacy and numeracy in a playful and supportive setting.
Tangaroa Room4-5 years old
As children approach school age, our focus shifts to building the skills they need for the next big step—our Set for School programme. This programme emphasises routines, social skills, and early literacy and numeracy concepts, laying a strong foundation for success at school. We introduce group projects and more structured activities to help children gain confidence and develop a love for learning.
