Prebbleton Childcare & Education Centre Providing full day, sessional and casual child care in a home like environment, situated in a rural setting. We strive to provide quality education and care in a safe and nurturing environment, which reflects our unique New Zealand bicultural nature.

Prebbleton Preschool caters for children aged 3½ to 5 years of age. We offer a large, well-resourced environment with a rural feel for your child to play, learn and grow. The emphasis of our programme is on learning activities that are lots of fun and at the same time build character, confidence and self-esteem. Our curriculum is value-based, encouraging kindness, respect for others and respect for our environment. Development of social skills is important at our centre, along with the following: to be able to work co-operatively with others and to understand basic concepts about rules, rights and fairness is essential knowledge for all children.

Our curriculum is based on Te Whaariki New Zealand’s Early Childhood Curriculum. All individual child plans and programme planning is linked to this. There are four broad principles at the centre of our curriculum:

• Empowerment - empowers the child to learn and grow.
• Holistic Development - reflects the holistic way children learn and grow.
• Family & Community – is an integral part of the early childhood curriculum.
• Relationships - Children learn through responsive and reciprocal relationships with people, places and things.
