“Giggles Te Puke Early Learning Centre is your whanau centre, with a space available for your baby, infant, toddler or pre-schooler, aged from birth to six years.”
Giggles Te Puke Early Learning Centre, has the largest outdoor early childhood play environment in Te Puke, where your child has space to explore, investigate, imagine and create.
“Playfulness is learning and growing together, and our learning spaces are full of opportunities to inspire, be creative, to wonder, and try.”
As your baby, infant, toddler or pre-schooler grows, they will have many experiences to develop their literacy, numeracy, setting the foundation for school and their journey of becoming a global citizen.
Growing and developing life-long skills, to support your child through their social-life, their schooling-life and onto adulthood.
As a whanau centre, children learn and play together. Quiet spaces are important for babies, infants and toddlers, to rest their minds and bodies throughout the day.
As your pre-schooler approaches their fifth or sixth birthdays, their transition to school is at their own pace, always being considerate of your child’s well-being and readiness for school.
Its best to contact the school of your choice, to find out more information on their enrolment process, at least six months before your child’s fifth or sixth birthday.
All children are born with potential. Quality early learning helps our children begin to realise that potential and build a strong foundation for later learning and life.
