Kindercare Greenhithe

Kia Ora,

Welcome to Kindercare Greenhithe! Children flourish through care and positive interactions. Our warm, nurturing and inclusive atmosphere encourages them to thrive.

You’ll find learning spaces in our centre specifically designed for tamariki to investigate and explore. Additionally, we provide an inquiry and play-based learning environment, carefully constructed to achieve the best learning outcomes for every child.

With our team of highly qualified early childhood educators, our balanced approach is centred around developing happy, confident young learners as we prepare them for their transition to primary school.

We value forming positive and genuine relationships with our tamariki and their families as we strongly believe a sense of belonging is vital for them to learn and grow. I look forward to meeting prospective families, and thank you for entrusting your child to us. We take this responsibility very seriously and will do everything possible to support you and your child (or children) as you become a part of our family in Kindercare Greenhithe.

Arohanui,
Kelly Quah
Centre Director / Pou Kaitiaki

Why Choose Our Centre

Simply put, it’s because we offer outstanding early childhood care and learning. But here are a few other great reasons:

• Our operational hours allows us to provide flexible options to suit your family’s needs, with full-time and part-time care.
• We slow down for children, through unhurried interactions and respectful care, to enable children to develop at their own pace.
• Kai is included. We provide lunch, as well as morning, and afternoon kai. Tamariki enjoy high-quality plant-based whole-food meals cooked on-site and prepared with love.
• Our centre is well-resourced to allow for imaginative play, and to lift the lid for possibilities to learn through moving.
• Your child will have opportunities to develop their social-emotional competencies like resilience, persistence, organisation, confidence, cooperation through our You Can Do It! Program.
• We value your partnership in working together to align your child’s life at the centre with their home life.

About Our Care

We see children as capable and confident individuals. So our care and learning program is designed to encourage them in their natural development, with love and respect as core values within our centre community. Focusing on social emotional and foundational skills, we aim to provide tamariki with opportunities to discover, strengthen and extend their abilities.

We are intentional about fostering strong, reciprocal, and trusting relationships because we understand whanaungatanga is the foundation for providing safe loving care and education. With a team of long-serving Kaiako to provide stability and continuity of care, our centre is noted for families returning with their younger children because of close connection with whānau.

Our three rooms offer age-appropriate activities throughout the day, designed to meet the needs of infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. We work in partnership to meet whānau aspirations, where your child can feel empowered to make friends and embark on new adventures.

We understand that families have different childcare needs, and we would love to discuss them with you. This enables us to provide a tailored approach to your child’s care, learning and fees, to support their growth. We are confident your family will find Kindercare Greenhithe to be a home away from home, and where your child can thrive in their early years.
