Kia Ora and welcome to Babies and Buddies

Here at Babies & Buddies Early Childhood Centre, our vision is:

To develop the inner spark in every child, so they shine on the outside

To achieve this we identify each child’s unique interests and needs, catering to their style of learning in order to suit their personality and encourage social and emotional regulation and learning and development throughout all curriculum areas.

Our caring and qualified staff strive to nurture every child’s sense of inner wellbeing, mana, identity and belonging, with respect and active acknowledgment for all cultures and ethnic backgrounds.

In order to offer children the best possible care, we have a maximum of thirty children a day. This allows the children to build strong, lasting relationships with their teachers/ kaiako and fellow peers.

We believe play is vital for child development, and our activities empower children to become independent problem solvers and good communicators. Our skills enrichment program helps to prepare children for a successful transition to school/Kura.

Talk to our friendly team if you have any questions about our Centre facilities, staff, early childhood care or fees, or click here for a copy of our Enrolment Form.

We look forward to meeting you and your Whanau!
