The Tūi tamariki (under twos) enjoy an unhurried space where their routines from home are mirrored and their sense of belonging nurtured as they foster relationships with teachers who care. Offering an environment that celebrates freedom of movement, learning through play and exploration in a safe environment. The perfect place for learning to take flight.
