Ō mātou kaiako, our teachers

The people who make it a village.

Warm, qualified and genuinely present. Our team is the reason children settle quickly and families feel at ease.

Fully qualified

100% qualified early childhood teachers.

Every centre has to meet a required minimum ratio of adults to children. We take it a step further: every teacher who counts towards our ratio is a fully qualified early childhood educator, which is not always the case.

Above the minimum

More teachers than required, on purpose.

We staff above the minimum adult-to-child ratio, adding more teachers on top including primary-trained teachers and teachers still in training. So there is always an extra pair of hands, and always time for your child.

Qualified kaiako

Our core team are all qualified early childhood teachers, meeting the regulated ratios in full.

Primary-trained teachers

Additional teachers include primary-trained educators, adding depth as children prepare for school.

Teachers in training

Teachers in training work alongside our qualified team, growing the next generation of kaiako.
