Feathers Early Learning Centre 64 Lincoln Park Avenue, Massey, Auckland 0614

Welcome to Feathers Early Learning Centre, located in Massey, West Auckland. Our centre has a warm and homely atmosphere, making it the perfect place for your child to learn and grow. As a privately owned and operated centre, we are committed to providing a unique and personalized experience for each child.

At Feathers, we prioritize family values, trust, support, and guidance. We believe in the importance of Whanaungatanga, fostering strong relationships between children, families, and teachers. We celebrate and respect the cultural identity and abilities of each individual, promoting inclusivity and cultural diversity.

Ako is another core value at Feathers, where everyone learns from each other, bringing together knowledge, culture, and experiences. We encourage open communication and collaboration between our staff, children, and families, allowing our children to become independent, free-spirited individuals who can make their own decisions and lead their own learning.

We also value the concept of learning through exploration of the wider world, including the natural environment. Our regular nature walks help our children develop a sense of wonder and connection with the natural world, instilling in them the importance of caring for our environment and becoming guardians of the natural world.

Emotional well-being and empowerment are nurtured through our focus on wairuatanga. We provide an open-ended environment that challenges children's thinking and reflects their skills, interests, and urges. Our pedagogy is influenced by Te Whariki, New Zealand's early childhood curriculum, as well as the teachings of Reggio Emilia and Dr. Emmi Pikler, emphasizing the environment as a third teacher. Our indoor and outdoor play areas are aesthetically pleasing and stimulating, creating a safe and peaceful environment that empowers each child.

Our dedicated educators are enthusiastic, caring, positive, and professional. We are a community of learners, constantly striving to exceed our teaching practice through ongoing professional development and staying up to date with the latest theories and research.

Feathers is operated by Rebecca Young, who is directly involved in all administrative, educational, and personal matters concerning your child and the centre. You can trust that your child will receive the highest level of care and attention at Feathers.

Don't just take our word for it - our parents rave about our teachers and facilities, with many considering Feathers their child's second home. We are proud to have created a multi-cultural community that reflects the diversity of our local area.
