Our Toddler room is the next best place to home for our thriving 2-5 year olds, offering knowledge, exploration, discovery, friendship and laughter, which is all so beneficial to their early development. We also offer meals and care for under 3s which kindy doesn’t.

OUR PHILOSOPHY
We believe that it is vital to children’s learning and development to provide a child centered environment. It is important to us that children feel safe, secure and are happy to engage in rich, respectful learning experiences. We encourage children to participate and experience a vast range of learning, from literacy and language to physical and emotional development. We respect tangata whenua and the Treaty of Waitangi through a bicultural programme which is also open to multicultural planning. We believe in providing open communication with parents and whānau to support their hauora (well-being) and provide children with strong foundations that enrich children’s learning and development through their journey of discovery throughout life.

Sustainability
At KatiKids we believe every little bit helps to ensure sustainability for our precious future generations.
We introduce sustainable habits and practices to our children by encouraging recycling, and growing our own veges in our very own KatiKids garden.
As a centre we use Storypark, significantly reducing the amount of paper used for forms and newsletters.
We use local suppliers and partners where possible, supporting the sustainability of businesses in our community.
