Age Groups

 

Preschool ~ 2 - 5 years

Our team of qualified and experienced staff are passionate about providing an environment that is fun, stimulating and educational, where children feel confident to explore, take risk and are able to achieve personal goals.  We believe that children learn by doing and being engaged with their everyday world around them.

Our dedicated teachers are committed to building strong relationships with children, families and whanau.  We work alongside you and your child in a collaborative way to ensure we are meeting your child’s individual needs.

We value the diverse cultures that represent Rainbows and are dedicated to the Christian beliefs and values that Rainbows was built upon.

Explorers ~ Birth - 2 years

Our dedicated team of nurturing teachers are passionate about providing an environment that is loving, stimulating and educational, based on Christian values.  They work alongside you and your child in a collaborative way to ensure we are meeting your child’s individual needs.  

We believe that children learn by doing and being engaged with their everyday world around them.  They experience the joy of playing and learning while being cared for by qualified and loving teachers.   We run a child – initiated programme where we document their individual learning and base our planning around this.
 Care times are handled in a calm and caring manner showing respect and sensitivity at all times.  Self help skills are supported and encouraged. We follow a primary care routine that enables our younger children to have a one on one bonding with a chosen teacher who can follow their care routine from home.

We thank you for the privilege of caring and educating your tamariki.
