Kilbirnie Early Learners

About

A positive and stimulating educational and developmental experience where your child can have fun and feel safe in the care of our dedicated staff

Story

Established in 1992, Kilbirnie Early Learners is a non-profit community based and purpose built childcare centre in Kilbirnie, Wellington. The centre provides a friendly, nurturing and vibrant environment which strongly reflects our multicultural community.

Our educational programme is planned in conjunction with the Ministry of Education curriculum Te Whàriki. This forms the foundation of our day to day practice, activities and interactions with the children/tamariki, and is designed to support and challenge your child during their important early years.

Throughout their time at Kilbirnie Early Learners your child will be given opportunities to express themselves creatively, physically, mentally, emotionally, culturally, and spiritually.

We support children’s development by providing learning experiences that pertain to the children’s interests and strengths, dispositions, language, and include a culturally appropriate curriculum, which is conducive to the Early Childhood Curriculum.

These are designed to stimulate and respond to the children’s interests, with age-appropriate activities such as art experiences, Te Reo Maori, waiata, collage, puzzles, water play, and stories. These activities in turn promote children’s autonomy, early literacy and math’s/numeracy skills, as well as physical skills and skills for life.
