Our Story To us, family is everything, We are passionate about creating The Village Early Learning Centre to reflect the family values that were instilled upon us as we grew up in New Zealand. Spaces that are full of happy, nurtured and challenged children. Equally, we truly care about our team. We believe in a culture of gratitude and appreciation, and in valuing and celebrating teachers as well as children for their individual differences. We know that choosing an Early Learning Centre is hard. We also know that trusting your precious little ones in someone else’s care is harder. We aim to make the decision as easy as possible. We want to take away the fear and replace it with a feeling of security and excitement. We hope that you will enjoy the experience from the moment you walk in our doors. Come in and discover the difference. Tania van Velzen Owner

WELCOME TO OUR KIDS EARLY LEARNING AUCKLAND BASED CHILDCARE Our Kids Learning Centre was founded in 2008 by Anita Kumar, now expanded to four early childcare centres and known in the community for our commitment to quality Early Childhood Education and equal learning opportunities. Our Kids combines intimate community relationships, New Zealand’s Te Whariki curriculum, the principles of Pikler and RIE philosophies, and children’s play urges to form a progressive solution to learning. This ensures that their experience at our early childhood centre is a positive and engaging one, from the first moment they step into our day care until they begin their transition to school. OUR TEAM Our staff are selected for their knowledge of early childhood, their expertise in providing appropriate educational programmes, their compassion for children and their philosophy of education and early childhood development. Our teachers are qualified early childhood educators and undertake regular professional development to keep them abreast of the current trends in our field. Our teachers participate in a yearly appraisal programme where management and teachers can reflect on strengths, weaknesses and goals and plan for the following year. All qualified teachers are expected to maintain current Teacher Registration and first aid certification. Registration ensures that teachers go on to participate in professional development throughout their careers and that satisfactory teaching and knowledge standards are maintained. We undertake a series of safety checking steps when appointing all staff at this centre.

Kimberley Childcare

Quality childcare and early education We are proud that our Te Atatu centre holds a ‘well placed’ 3 year ERO review. Ko te manu e kai ana i te miro nōnā te ngāhere. Ko te manu e kai ana i te mātauranga nōnā te ao The bird that consumes the miro owns the forest. The bird that consumes knowledge owns the world At Kimberley Childcare Te Atatu, we firmly believe that every tamaiti (child) is a unique taonga (treasure), cloaked in whakapapa (descent/ancestry). We seek to nurture them in a fun, loving and caring environment – a whare (home) away from home. We are a multicultural centre that respects the diverse cultures, languages and identity of all and celebrates that everyone is a taonga (gift/treasure). About Kimberley Childcare We have two unique centres in Auckland. Our Greenlane centre is ranked in the top five percent of Auckland Childcares and is in a handy location near the Greenlane Roundabout, Countdown and McDonalds. Our Te Atatu centre is perfectly situated in Te Atatu South, near Countdown with an under twos and a preschool building well set out to cater to your child’s needs. Our kaiako (teachers) stand firm on the saying, “Mā te huruhuru, ka rere te manu.” “Adorn the bird with feathers so it may soar.” The bird’s feathers resemble the tamariki (children) being supported, nurtured, loved and cared for by strong, knowledgeable kaiako (teachers). This allows tamariki (children) to learn new skills as they are given qualities in life and learning that enable them to soar high in their new journey at Kimberley Childcare and for their future. Our focus is helping each individual with their potential through growing in a healthy mix of educational and recreational activities. Te Whāriki (the curriculum) makes a bold impact on the tamariki’s (children’s) learning and development helping them to grow confidently and competently from birth.

The Grange

(09) 837 2007

Welcome to The Grange A home away from home The Grange Early Learning centre is a small, homely centre catering to a maximum of 37 children. It is operated and managed by a fully registered and trained Early Childhood teacher with 20 years of teaching and managing experience. We are the only centre in a 3-kilometre radius to receive the highest ranking from the Ministry of Education’s review office. The Grange has an outstanding 25-year reputation and is well known in the community. We pride ourselves in creating a home away from home, not just your children but also for you. We do this through various parent events throughout the year. The owner and manager of The Grange knows what it takes to give your child a truly memorable experience filled with joy and discovery. Over the span of her impressive 20-year career, she has worked in a variety of both small and large centres, using her acquired knowledge and skills to develop her own set of unique programmes and routines, each catered to your child’s individual needs. Here is what makes The Grange different from the rest: We have a maximum of 8 children under the age of 2 In other childcare centres, most rooms for children under the age of 2 generally have 12 – 15 babies and toddlers. Unfortunately, these children are often left to their own devices, regardless of the number of teachers that are appointed to supervise these rooms. This gap in supervision is particularly worrisome, especially if the centre’s outdoor area is easily accessible. A crowded room of young children also means that their sleep area will always being used, resulting in the disruption of your child’s routine (i.e.: your child will most likely be woken up whenever another child is put to bed or wakes from a nap). The overcrowding of these rooms also poses a significant challenge for the centre’s teachers, who simply don’t have the time to learn about each child’s needs or interests. Primary caregiving is often implemented to solve this problem, but the results are far from perfect. What happens to your child before or after their primary caregiver’s shift has ended? What happens when their primary caregiver is away for the day or has left the centre for good? From experience, this solution causes more issues and has the potential to make the problem it’s supposed to solve even worse. We don’t have a separate room for 2-year-olds Having a separate room for 2-year-olds may sound great on paper, but in practice, fails spectacularly. At the age of two, children begin to observe how others around them behave and consequently try to mimic the perceived behaviour. This is an age of intense learning and exploration, so it is crucial for children to emulate the right actions. Rooms that consist only of 2-year-old children (or children who have just turned three) are the most chaotic, as these children are witnessing and then copying unfavourable behaviour such as biting, pulling, pushing, putting objects in their mouths, and throwing toys. At The Grange, we believe that mixed age groups are the best for creating positive role models. When two-year-old children interact with 4-year-old children, they begin to demonstrate more mature behaviour, which results in positive outcomes for all our children. The Grange’s qualified owner works with the children daily and is here because she cares Very few childcare centre owners are Early Childhood qualified. Throughout her 19 years of experience, The Grange’s owner has seen first-hand how a lack of knowledge in the field can negatively impact both teachers and children. A qualified childcare manager makes all the difference, as they understand what is needed to make a centre thrive. Only a qualified childcare owner will understand the need to have a second safety gate, have an extra teacher for special circumstances, implement better teacher to child ratios, reduce the number of children per room, etc. Unqualified centre owners simply don’t know what it’s like to work as a teacher, and many of them are not on-site daily, which means that they cannot properly assess a centre’s real needs or apply a budget that will provide quality care for the attending children. A backyard-style playground Our outdoor space was designed by a landscape artist who has also been trained in Early Childhood, which means that our playground was designed with children’s need in mind. Unlike many other centres, The Grange values a natural environment for children. You will notice that we have real grass and plenty of trees – just like your backyard at home. We even have our very own pig that we can feed! A stable team that is here for all the right reasons Due to an extreme shortage of trained teachers in Early Childhood, teachers often move from centre to centre, seeking better pay. As a result of this constant teacher turnover, both children and parents end up feeling unsettled and insecure, never quite knowing who their teacher is or how long they will stay at the centre. But at The Grange, we do things differently. The centre’s owner develops strong, lasting relationships with the teachers she works with, treating them as friends more than colleagues or subordinates. She places her teachers’ needs above her own, and in return, asks that they simply do the same for the children. Through this philosophy, she has created job satisfaction and a positive environment where everyone feels respected, valued, appreciated, and genuinely cared for.

He’s having so much fun, and the teacher is not only kind and gentle with the kids, but she’s going to teach them things like brushing their teeth, potting training, etc. That’s amazing. Having only four kids at one time means they’ve become great friends, and the kids just love each other. Highly recommended daycare school!” – Morgana
