Infants
We understand that infants need regular, gentle moments of care throughout the day. From the very moment your baby enters our care, we hold each milestone close to our hearts. Our team is committed to providing a nurturing environment that fosters strong connections, trust, and loving relationships.
Here’s what life at our centre might look like for your pēpi, or infant:
- Kaiako working in partnership with whānau to align your child’s rhythms and rituals at the center with your family’s home life.
- Our team practice a form of primary caregiving, a nurturing approach that allows us to provide individualised attention to each child.
- Uninterrupted, unhurried moments for your child to explore and learn throughout their day.
- Plenty of sensory interactions with a rich blend of experiences to taste, touch, feel, and see, igniting curiosity and creativity.
- A learning environment that is centered around movement because we know that all learning begins with movement.
- Routine care moments that celebrate relationships, connection, enthusiasm, and aroha.
Let’s embrace and cherish every moment of your baby's
extraordinary learning journey together.
Frequently asked questions
Sleep and rest rituals play an integral role in providing outstanding care for every child. At Kindercare, each child will have a daily sleep and rest period, shortly after their midday meal.
We respect the personal choices of whānau in seeking professional advice, including Sleep Consultants, to establish individualised sleep and rest plans for their child, and, in partnership with parents, we will kōrero with whānau on sleep and rest aspirations. However, as we provide centre-based care, not all philosophies and practices around sleep/rest are aligned with the early childhood setting, or our commitment to Best Practice. To ensure optimal outcomes for each child, while they are in our care, our team are not able to accommodate those requests and requirements that do not support our commitment to Best Practice.
