The preschool in Mt. Albert at Merryland Childcare Centre is purpose-built and structurally intended to provide kids the greatest possible start. Our belief that “adorn the bird with feathers so it can fly” is evident in everything we do. We collaborate closely with whānau, or extended families or communities of related families, since we are aware that learning occurs best when families and educators work together. We create a curriculum that respects the goals of parents, hapū, iwi, and our larger community under the guidance of Te Whāriki.
Through play, discovery, storytelling, music, art, and everyday routines that honour their independence, kids learn here. In a setting that celebrates diversity, joy, and belonging, each child is accepted as an individual and given the assistance they need to grow socially, physically, emotionally, and academically. Every child at our Mt. Albert preschool feels seen, heard, and valued, and inquiry is encouraged.
Our strong dedication to Aotearoa’s bicultural heritage is what sets our preschool in Mt. Albert apart. We uphold Te Tiriti o Waitangi and make sure that tamariki, or children, have a culturally sensitive atmosphere that fosters their sense of self and community. Youngsters participate in a variety of engaging activities, including group time, outdoor play, early literacy and numeracy experiences, creative arts, sensory learning, and nature-based exploration.
Every day, our staff intentionally incorporates sustainable methods, environmental care, and tikanga Māori. Children learn to genuinely respect their surroundings as they take care of plants and explore the natural world. Learning opens up naturally, creatively, and joyfully in child-centered settings designed with natural materials, warm colours, and open-ended resources.
Strong ties with families are important to us at our preschool in Mount Albert. In order to support each child’s educational journey, our teachers take the time to listen, comprehend, and collaborate with parents. We ensure that parents feel involved, informed and connected by maintaining meaningful and open communication. Our play-based approach fosters children’s development into self-assured communicators, enthusiastic explorers, imaginative thinkers, and compassionate friends.
In a safe, encouraging, and stimulating environment, kids learn how to express themselves, build resilience, and celebrate their successes. We want every kid to leave our preschool with confidence and a positive outlook on the future.
