Quote from our Philosophy
"At Sunflowers ECE, we believe that every child is unique and will be inspired to learn! We encourage creativity, exploration, curriculum structure and learning through play. We strive to foster a lifelong love of learning in every child."
Our Teachers
Our teachers are highly qualified and experienced professionals who are passionate about working with babies and young children. They undergo regular training to keep up-to-date with the latest teaching methods and practises, and are dedicated to providing the best possible care and education for each child.
Our Preschool
At our centre, we provide a nurturing, inclusive, and stimulating early learning environment for children from birth to five years. Our programme is guided by Te Whāriki, New Zealand’s early childhood curriculum, which supports each child’s holistic development through meaningful play, positive relationships, and engaging learning experiences.
We believe children learn best when they feel safe, valued, and empowered. Our programme supports social, emotional, physical, and cognitive growth while building the confidence and skills needed for a smooth transition to primary school.
Babies
Our babies’ programme provides a calm, loving, and responsive environment where infants feel secure and cared for.
We focus on:
- Building strong, trusting relationships with teachers
- Supporting emotional security and wellbeing
- Encouraging sensory exploration and discovery
- Supporting early communication and language development
- Providing individual routines based on each baby’s needs
Our teachers work closely with families to ensure continuity between home and centre, supporting each baby’s unique rhythms and development.
Toddlers
Our toddler programme encourages curiosity, independence, and confidence as children begin to explore the world around them.
We focus on:
- Supporting social and emotional development
- Encouraging language, communication, and self-expression
- Providing opportunities for active play and physical development
- Helping toddlers develop independence and self-help skills
- Guiding positive behaviour and problem-solving
Through play-based learning and gentle routines, toddlers develop confidence while forming friendships and learning to work alongside others.
Preschoolers
Our preschool programme prepares children for a successful and confident transition to primary school while continuing to foster creativity and a love of learning.
We focus on:
- School readiness skills, including early literacy and numeracy
- Building confidence, resilience, and independence
- Encouraging positive problem-solving and decision-making
- Supporting social skills, friendships, and teamwork
- Providing transition-to-school experiences and routines
Children are supported to become capable, confident learners who are ready for their next educational journey.
Our Approach
Our licensed early learning centre provides a programme that supports each child’s holistic development, including their social, emotional, physical, and cognitive growth. We believe children learn best through play, so we offer rich opportunities for exploration, creativity, and meaningful hands-on experiences that build confidence and curiosity. Our structured daily routines provide consistency and predictability, helping children feel secure, develop independence, and understand their environment.
We place strong importance on building respectful, trusting relationships with families, recognising that working in partnership supports the best outcomes for each child. Our centre also promotes health and wellbeing by participating in programmes that support good nutrition and healthy development. We provide reliable, high-quality care for families and support access to government initiatives such as 20 Hours Free ECE, helping make early childhood education accessible while preparing children for lifelong learning.
Our Commitment
We are committed to providing a safe, caring, and inspiring environment where every child feels a strong sense of belonging. Our goal is to support children to grow into confident, capable learners who are ready for school and life.
