Bright Beginnings Mt Roskill

• Beautiful centre located in Mt Roskill

Our purpose built childcare centre, which is located at 143 White Swan Road has been running for over a year now. The location is very strategic as it is easily approachable from Mt Roskill Hillsborough, Lynfield and Blockhouse Bay.

The early learning centre incorporates restoration of Turret House (Brooks House), which was on site since 1913. Turret House is now in the loving hands of the children of New Zealand.

The centre is licensed for 105 children, with a license for 25 children under two years of age and 80 children over 2 years of age. The children at the centre have the opportunity to spend time in the Manuka Room (0 to 2 years), Kowhai Room (2 to 3 years) Pohutakawa Room (3 to 4 years) and Kauri Room (4 to 5 years).

The teaching team is strongly inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach. Our centre environment is very unique and acts as the third teacher for the child. The educators encourage open-ended learning through provocations they provide within the centre environment. The identity of the capable and competent learner is visible throughout the centre. Strong relationships with children and their whanau are fostered and we actively work towards engaging with the community.

Projects are explored as vehicles of learning. These projects originate from children’s conversations, ongoing interests and open-ended provocations.

We welcome you into our beautiful learning space.

Feel free to call and speak with our friendly team to book a visit.

Current Learning Possibilities:

We welcome back and wish all our Whanau a Happy New Year. We look forward to our 2021 journey with our families. 2020 was a turbulent year which has impacted on each and everyone in some form or another. Our relationships between family and Kaiako become a vital point to maintain effective communication throughout these times.

The teaching team, alongside the families and children, will continue to focus on the concept of Relationship, extending it to the wider community, for this year.

Our Tamariki are settling back into the centre after the Christmas Break and sharing all the lovely holiday pictures and stories of all the adventures.
