New Beginnings Early Learning Centre 11 Waitai Road, Ostend, Auckland 1081

Welcome to New Beginnings Early Learning Centre, located at 11 Waitai Road, Auckland. As an establishment and point of interest, we are dedicated to providing a nurturing and enriching environment for your child's early development.

At New Beginnings, we understand that your child is growing up fast and ready for a little more independence. That's why our preschool club is the perfect introduction to their educational journey. Our approach to learning and teaching is centered around child-led play and education, allowing your child to explore and discover at their own pace.

We are proud to have an incredible team of teachers and support staff who are passionate about early childhood education. We invite you to come and visit us, giving you the opportunity to see our center firsthand. We believe in building strong, long-lasting relationships with our families and communities, working in partnership to provide quality care and education that meets your needs.

New Beginnings is a purpose-built childcare center situated in the heart of Ostend, Waiheke Island. Our values of family, respect, inclusion, and diversity form the foundation of our center's philosophy. We strive to create a welcoming and inclusive environment where every child feels valued and supported.

Our curriculum follows the principles of Te Whāriki, New Zealand's early childhood curriculum, ensuring that your child receives a well-rounded education. We also adopt the tuakana-teina style of learning, where older children act as mentors and role models for their younger peers. This fosters a sense of responsibility and encourages collaboration among the children.

At New Beginnings, we emphasize the importance of caring for both the living and non-living environment. We encourage our children to develop a sense of responsibility and respect for their surroundings, promoting sustainability and environmental awareness.

Our center consists of two dedicated rooms. The Piwaiwaka room is designed for babies and toddlers up to the age of 2, providing a nurturing and routine-based environment that caters to each child's individual needs. The Tui room is for children over 2 years old, where we place great importance on tuākana/teina relationships. Older children take care of their younger peers, fostering a cycle of learning rooted in Māori culture and values such as respect, kindness, inclusion, diversity, and whanaungatanga.

Our Pīwaiwaka whānau (family) works diligently to establish strong relationships with all families at New Beginnings, ensuring a solid foundation for your child's learning and growth in the early childhood education environment.

We invite you to visit our center and meet our dedicated team. We look forward to welcoming you and your child to the New Beginnings family.
