Little Woods Nursery and Preschool is offering Welcome Bay children quality care and education based on the practices of Waldorf Education and the New Zealand Early Childhood curriculum. Manager Kylie Potton and teachers at the nursery and preschool say Little Woods believes daily life experience is the “curriculum” through which children experience healthy life rhythms and enriching creative play experiences. “We aim to provide a warm, secure homely environment where each child and their family are treated with affection as part of the Little Woods extended family.” Kylie says because children learn through imitation, teachers will engage in purposeful work
while providing a loving and harmonious environment through gentle speech and singing. Children will be provided with wholesome organic lunches including morning and afternoon tea. Each day teachers prepare fresh baked bread buns with the children to have as morning tea. The nursery caters for infants and toddlers from six months to two-and-a-half years old and the preschool caters for children from two to six years old. A variety of enrolment options are available including genuine free 20 hour Early Childcare Education sessions. WINZ subsidies are available. Now open, the nursery and preschool runs from 7.30am – 5.30pm from Monday to Friday.
