We provide a caring learning childcare environment that adheres to Te Whariki (the New Zealand early childhood curriculum) and our child care philosophy of child-led development. Some experiences are planned based on children’s interests, many are spontaneous and ideas from our children. All of them are fun.
Arts and crafts, music, dance, role play, dramatic play, construction, messy pay, sand pit, clay, dough, forts, racetracks, puzzles, games, stories, excursions … the opportunities to have fun are endless – and the learning is too.
Outdoor Environments
We believe that well-designed outdoor spaces stimulate the diversity of children’s play experience and contribute to their healthy development. We have generous outdoor play areas for our babies, toddlers and preschoolers, catering to the unique needs of each stage. Our outdoor area features trees, flowers and a vegetable patch – connecting children with nature and diversifying their outdoor experience.
Educational Resources
To encourage discovery and open children’s imaginations, we’ve spent a lot of collecting resources to aid this. From high quality wooden toys to natural materials and high-quality puzzles, children have a diverse range of resources to quell their curiosity. Contact our friendly team to know more about how every day at All About Children Marton looks like.
Ngā Puna (Under 2's)
Ngā Puna means “the springs” or “wells” – a source of life, energy and potential. This name reflects the early years of development, where tamariki are beginning their journey, forming foundational relationships and discovering the world through sensory exploration and emotional connection.
Ngahere (Over 2's)
Ngahere means “the forest” – a rich, diverse ecosystem full of life, learning and connection. This metaphor aligns with our older tamariki, who are branching out, exploring ideas, forming friendships, and engaging in more complex play and inquiry.
