Small-group experiences for babies and young toddlers
Birth to 2 years
Infants & Toddlers
Our Infants & Toddlers Centre offers small-group care, familiar routines, and responsive relationships for babies and toddlers from birth to 2 years. Kaiako work closely with whānau so home rhythms, sleep, kai, settling and learning feel connected.
Individual sleep routines planned with whānau
Nutritious morning and afternoon tea provided
Calm, well-resourced rooms and outdoor play
Centre rhythm
Care, kai and communication that feel connected to home.
We provide morning and afternoon tea and ask whānau to provide a healthy lunchbox. Children's individual sleep schedules are followed in consultation with parents and whānau.
"Infants' and toddlers' learning and wellbeing are very well supported through nurturing and respectful relationships. Children play and learn in a calm and well-resourced setting."
