We believe all tamariki deserve the very best start in life and it’s our job to make that happen. Our mahi lays the foundation for a lifetime of curiosity and learning. Together with you and our dedicated kaiako, we’ll guide your tamariki through their early learning years and help them reach their unique potential.
Spaces are now open for your tamariki
Whanaungatanga is central to our tikanga. And our place is one where your tamariki and whole whānau, will feel a strong sense of belonging and connection.
We understand the profound influence whānau holds in the lives of their tamaiti, and it’s important to us that you feel included and supported throughout your child’s early learning journey. Our passionate and caring team collaborates to support the aspirations and vision of whānau, creating an atmosphere of aroha, kindness, trust and respect. Here, your tamariki will feel heard, valued and supported.
We’re not just another daycare – we want you and every member of your whānau to experience a strong sense of belonging. Together with our kaiako, you’ll feel right at home here.
Our trained kaiako are dedicated to enhancing the learning and development of your tamariki – we’ll make sure they get off to a flying start! We know that every individual is different. At Little Parrots, we embrace and celebrate differences and equip each tamaiti with the skills and tools they need to learn, their way.
We have meticulously crafted our programme, drawing inspiration from Te Whāriki, Aotearoa’s early learning curriculum. We shape learning experiences to suit the individual interests, strengths, and culture of each tamaiti. Through play-based learning, intentional teaching, and meaningful interactions, we aim to build a foundation of confidence and competency, nurturing lifelong learners.
Our whānau portal is a secure online area where you can login to access information about your tamariki and how things are going at Little Parrots preschool in Mount Maunganui
We believe transparency and effective communication are key to building trusted relationships. That’s why we’ve invested in leading technology platform Discover Childcare, which enables you to see when your tamariki sleeps, has a care routine, takes a bottle and more.
Through our platform, you’ll also enjoy stories that give you an insight into how your tamariki are progressing, so you can see what they are learning and experiencing at Little Parrots. You can also send kaiako notes if you want us to keep an eye on anything in particular or just need to get in touch. Basically, this tool is a gamechanger as it gives you access to all the information you need at your fingertips!
We really love using this platform and we hope it provides you with extra peace of mind that your tamariki are well cared for at Little Parrots.
This is a safe and secure program you can access anytime. To login to view your child’s profile, click the link below.
