Anuhe Room (0-2 Years): We emphasize the importance of creating an environment enriched with love, kindness, nurturing, and responsive care. Our goal is to activate and unleash the full emotional, intellectual, and spiritual potential of children by fostering an authentic setting grounded in respectful practices.

Purerehua Room (2-6 Years): As your child progresses into the toddler stage, you’ll observe heightened independence and a growing curiosity. Our environment encourages curiosity, allowing children to express themselves through creativity and language. These preschool years serve as a crucial preparation phase for school and lifelong learning. We seamlessly integrate school readiness and desired learning outcomes into our daily activities, exposing children to diverse learning opportunities encompassing nature, literacy, numeracy, science, emotional development, confidence-building, social engagement, and more.

The decision of when to enroll your child is ultimately in your hands as parents. However, to secure a spot, we recommend enrolling from birth. This allows us to provide you with an approximate start date tailored to your family’s needs.

We take enrolments from 0 months.

We participate in the government scheme offering 20 ECE Hours, allowing children over three years old to utilize these hours at the Centre.
