About Little Waves Early Learning Centre
Our centre is a local standing point in Paraparaumu Beach, where tamariki and whanau feel welcome and supported from the moment they step foot in the centre. We have strong relationships with the local schools and a majority of our tamariki graduating to Raumati South or Raumati beach School.
Little Wavs Early Learning Centre has specially designed nursery and preschool areas where tamariki are supported to achieve within their ages and stages. Our nursery has tamariki from 0 - 2 years of age and is designed to ensure tamariki feel relaxed and comfortable in a homely environment.
The preschool has a large indoor and outdoor environment where tamariki can freely explore with the doors open rain or shine. We provide activities to support tamariki in all areas they are interested in, while building upon their existing knowledge and extending them within these areas. We offer excursions through walking to local parks and also have the use of a centre van to explore further into the Kapiti community, tamariki love going to their fortnightly gym sessions at the Kapiti Gymnastics Club.
Our team is made up of experienced kaiako of different ages and backgrounds who are able to bring a wide range of strengths and qualities that enhances the experiences we are able to offer our tamariki.
When you come into our centre you will be able to see that our tamariki feel loved and cherished by our wonderful kaiako.
We work hard to ensure that we have a variety of exciting curriculum areas for tamariki to explore at their own pace. We believe in showcasing the work of our tamariki so you will see plenty of photos and art work on the walls celebrating the hard mahi of our tamariki.
For the convenience of working parents, our childcare centre is open Monday to Friday from 7:30am until 6:00pm.
