Three animal whānau, one big adventure — each group has its own kaiako, colour and rhythm, matched to your child’s age and stage.
Nursery [age?]
Little Elephants
Our littlest learners deserve the gentlest start. Little Elephants is calm, cosy and unhurried — a nest for babies to feel utterly safe.
Days follow each pēpi’s own rhythm — sleeps, kai and cuddles on their schedule, not ours. Gentle sensory play, waiata and fresh air fill the waking hours.
Busy, curious and wonderfully messy — Little Rhinos is built for toddlers on the move.
Big feelings get warm support, growing independence gets cheered on, and every day brings sensory play, mud, paint and puddles. Language explodes here — we feed it with stories, waiata and te reo.
Confident, capable and curious — Little Lions get ready for school the way children learn best: through play.
Early literacy and numeracy grow through games, projects and real questions. Lions practise friendship, leadership and sticking with tricky things — the skills that make school feel exciting, not scary.
