Feedback

Recent feedback regarding our team:

I am **** grandmother and often visit Auckland and drop off or pick up **** at Playhouse.  You are always very welcoming and **** seems very happy there. I think the e mails that you send out with accounts and pictures of ****’s achievements are fabulous, and *** forwards them on to her extended family. Thank you very much for all the care you provide and all the trouble you go to, to keep us informed about how **** is doing.

 "Thank you so much for the wonderful care you have taken to look after ****. With your love and care **** has turned into a gorgeous cheeky 4 year old.

Thank you so much for all your care and attention of **** over the past 18 months. She has made lots of friends, had lots of fun and learnt a lot too!

What should you look for in a centre?

    • When walking through a centre - check that staff are playing with your children. This is a sign that they are educators, not just child-minders

 

    • Look for a centre that reminds kids of their home

 

    • Look for smiles and fun

 

    • Look for artwork and photos on the walls

 

    • Look for a good sized outdoor area where kids can stretch and get some daylight while learning through play – climbing equipment, sandpit, water play, art opportunities etc.

Is childcare good for my child?

You can feel safe in the knowledge that you’re giving your child a huge head start:

From a recent Herald article "Pre-schooling shoots pupils to the top of the class"...

    • "Children who experienced quality education before the age of 5 are leaving their peers far behind as they head towards the teenage years"

 

    • "Those with pre-schooling are better readers, writers and mathematicians"

 

    • "Did not necessarily mean kids were expert readers before they went to school, rather that they had developed an understanding of the importance of language"

 

    • "Asking open ended questions, encouraging thinking in kids and creating a learning culture"

 

    • Children at 12 who were outperforming their peers had been to early childhood centre's with indoor/outdoor equipment familiarising them with shapes and proportions from a young age"
