Gladstone Park Early Childhood Centre
Gladstone Park Early Childhood Centre, for children aged three months to five years, offers a warm, stimulating, fun and family-focused environment where your baby or pre-schooler will be nurtured and cared for by experienced and qualified staff.
The purpose-built centre, located beside a park, provides a safe and exciting environment for children. The small group of babies and toddlers have a separate area where they can safely and confidently explore and grow. The older children play and work together, experiencing activities that promote their development. In this area, the 4 year-olds meet daily to increase skills, especially numeracy and literacy, that will support their confident transition to school.
Gladstone Park Early Childhood Centre is easily accessible from Auckland's CBD, major routes and motorways and has convenient off-street parking for safe pick up and drop off.
Philosophy
As a team we focus on;
Providing safe and stimulating environment
Our goal is to make all children feel safe and cared for while at the Gladstone Early Childhood Centre. Our dedicated teachers are committed to creating a welcoming environment where children are encouraged to become eager learners, empowered to ask questions and find their own answers as well as having fun and interacting with other children.
Respecting individuality and honouring emotions
We strongly believe that all children are capable and competent individuals. We respect their individuality and honour their emotions. Children are important to us, therefore we are focused on being sensitive to their feelings. We encourage them to express their emotions by listening to them and making an effort to understand them.
Supporting cultural diversity
We encourage children to cherish their own cultural identity and be mindful and respectful of other children’s cultural background by providing respectful and non-judgemental environment.
Our programme is based on the New Zealand early childhood curriculum policy called
Te Whaariki.
Enrolment
Before making a decision to enrol your child, you are warmly invited to phone up and make a time to be shown around Gladstone Park Early Childhood Centre. If this is not possible, when we receive your completed enrolment form, we will talk to you about your child starting.
