Preschool Room
The Preschool area caters for children from approximately 3½ to 5 years old.
We understand that preschoolers are learning to make sense of the world. They are developing literacy, numeracy and social skills and discovering who they are. We provide a more complex learning environment for both individual and group experiences.
Tamariki have access to resources such as family play, paint and books which enable them to express themselves while also encouraging numeracy and literacy. Mat times, where children are read stories and sing songs, allows them to exchange ideas and extend their imagination.
Little Poppy's has access to a large open field next door to our centre. This allows our tamariki to run freely and explore a larger outdoor area. Our beautiful outdoor space includes natural resources that spark curiosity and exploration. We have a rock climbing wall and balancing equipment that encourage our tamariki to challenge themselves physically.
