All About Children is a family-owned group that is professionally run by a team of passionate individuals within the New Zealand early childhood education industry. Over the years we have grown, along with the children in our care across multiple locations around New Zealand, to a place of profound appreciation and understanding for the magic that is early childhood.
Creativity, freedom of expression and child-led explorative play are at the centre of everything we do. We believe the minds of children are wonderous and need little in the way of moulding. Our role is to provide a nurturing, loving and inspiring environment where every child can thrive and reach their full potential.
Our philosophy
At All About Children Sylvia Park, we pride ourselves on ensuring that our parents, whanau, tamariki and Kaiako feel a sense of belonging, empowerment and respect.
Forming strong relationships and partnerships are the heart of what we do as we believe these go a long way in supporting children to become capable learners. Our Kaiako work also alongside parents and whanau and take into consideration their beliefs and sociocultural influences when constructing a personalised and responsive curriculum for each child.
Our curriculum
At All About Children Sylvia Park, we prioritise providing an enriching educational programme that cater to the unique needs and interests of every child. The centre has four programme areas – Owlets (0-18 months), Pukekos (18 months – 3 years), Keas (3-4 years) and Fantails (4-5 years) based on the distinct need of each age group.
We believe every child develops at their own pace, and by providing meaningful and realistic learning opportunities, children will explore, create, discoverand imagine.
Our centre
Conveniently located near the motorways and the shopping hub of Sylvia Park, our centre is purpose-built to support our little learners.
There are spacious indoor and outdoor areas that are warm, inviting and equipped with high-quality learning toys and natural materials to stimulate imagination and creative play. Use of muted colours and quiet areas provide spaces for children to retrieve when needed during the day. A common kitchen serves all children fresh, healthy centre-cooked food.
Our teachers
Early Childhood is about relationships. The special bonds you form with those you trust and those who care. Our people are the heart of our centre and we put a great deal of time into making sure we get it right when it comes to building our team.
All About Children has long-serving, culturally diverse educators who are experienced and passionate about early learning. They build one-on-one relationships with children so the children know they can be relied on and trusted for cuddles, a kindly told story or another adventurous learning experience through the day.
