Our daily routine is a mixture of free play, group activities, meals and quiet times.

Kidzone is a mixed-age early learning centre, where tamariki learn and grown with each other, creating tuakana/teina relationships that support and empower them to learn and grow.

Our Victorian villa has a great mix of indoor and outdoor spaces

We have indoor and outdoor spaces that cater to the children’s needs, so we always have engaging play, no matter the weather! Sleep rooms, kitchen space, outdoor play spaces...

My favourite lunch is vege dhal and rice. And cheesy pasta. And sandwiches. And strawberries!

Sleep and quiet time is structured and nurtured

We have a separate sleep room for our youngest tamariki. There are also sleep spaces for children aged 2-3 years old, and a quiet space to have a rest in the middle of the day for our older children who don't need a sleep in the day
