Under 2 years

Kowhaiwhai Room

The Kowhaiwhai Room is a calm, sensory-rich space where our youngest learners can explore. With soft play areas, beanbags, and open-ended resources, children are encouraged to explore their surroundings. Outdoors, they enjoy their own deck with fun resources like trucks and foam shapes for climbing, helping them develop their motor skills.

Over 2 years

Koru Room

The Koru Room is a lively and engaging space for toddlers and young children. Here, they can get creative with dress-up, role-playing as doctors and nurses, or dive into building projects with construction toys. The outdoor area is perfect for big adventures, from sliding down the slope to playing in the sandpit and water areas.
