Piha Room

Our programme is designed to assist your child in being ‘school ready’ gaining skills required to have their best foot forward when they enter primary school. We aim to focus on the foundation skills while providing our children with experiences that are fun, challenging and engaging. We have monthly calendars which are provided to inform our whānau and children of events, activities, notices and most importantly our lunch box days. Lunch box days are provided for not only your child’s enjoyment and readiness for school but to also prepare and provide our parents with ideas for healthy school lunches 

Teachers will support your child’s transition to school by providing opportunities for them to be part of the ‘School Readiness Programme’. This programme has been created by passionate teachers after several meetings with the local primary schools, attending professional development and by being aware of current research on child development. Our School Readiness Programme is offered to the 10 children closest to starting school at any one time in our special Pīwaka Room

We have sustained positive relationships with our local Primary schools – Glen Eden, Konini, Kaurilands, Oratia and Titirangi. We have been privileged to meet with new entrance teachers from each school and collated key points to help with your childs transition to school process

Our Piha tamariki have a big outside play area where their physical well being is met through interactive games of running, jumping, climbing, and ball games alongside their friends and teachers

We are committed to ensuring that when children leave our centre to begin school the transition is as comfortable and smooth as possible for both the child and their parents.
