CHILD FOCUS<br />
Celebrating 45 years<br />
of childcare that<br />
cherishes children<br />
In 1972, when Glennie Oborn opened her<br />
first centre in Auckland, her commitment to<br />
parents was to keep each child safe, loved<br />
and learning.<br />
As we’ve grown over<br />
the past 45 years, and<br />
had the privilege of<br />
being entrusted with the care<br />
of children in more regions,<br />
this commitment has remained<br />
constant. From the opening<br />
of our first Hamilton centre,<br />
in Rototuna in 2009, to the<br />
recent opening of our fourth<br />
Hamilton centre, in Flagstaff,<br />
you’ll still find our centres<br />
are family owned, guided by<br />
the same family values, and<br />
still providing fun-filled care,<br />
that nurtures children through<br />
kindness.<br />
Knowing your child is<br />
safe matters to parents, and to<br />
Kindercare. That’s why access<br />
to our centres is by keypad<br />
only, to control entry and exit.<br />
Protecting children in a secure<br />
environment is our priority.<br />
Love is at the heart of our<br />
centres because relationships<br />
matter. Our qualified, experienced<br />
team ensures your child<br />
will receive lots of cuddles and<br />
affection, which helps them<br />
settle, because they feel loved.<br />
Our team knows how essential<br />
it is to take the time to get to<br />
know your child, because it<br />
is through this understanding<br />
that we can be responsive to<br />
their individual needs.<br />
Learning happens naturally,<br />
through play, once your<br />
baby, toddler or preschooler<br />
feels safe and loved. When<br />
they’re relaxed, they can have<br />
fun, and enjoy discovering<br />
their world as they engage in<br />
indoor activities and spend<br />
time outdoors. Your child will<br />
benefit from freedom to move<br />
in open spaces, exploring tactile<br />
environments for sensory<br />
learning, and challenging<br />
themselves at each developmental<br />
stage.<br />
Home-made midday meals,<br />
and morning and afternoon<br />
snacks, ensure busy parents<br />
don’t have to worry about<br />
their child’s nutritional needs.<br />
With lots of fresh fruit and<br />
loads of veges for lunch, your<br />
child will enjoy a healthy variety<br />
that’s good for them too!<br />
Parents appreciate the value<br />
in preparing their child<br />
for school. At Kindercare, we<br />
know the difference a smooth<br />
transition makes for your preschooler.<br />
Our dynamic curriculum<br />
includes social/emotional<br />
development programme,<br />
Letterland (introducing the<br />
alphabet) and Cherry.bytes (a<br />
safe and fun introduction to<br />
technology as a learning tool).<br />
We’re privileged to be entrusted<br />
with your child’s care,<br />
and we’re here to work alongside<br />
your family. Pop in for a<br />
visit… we’re waiting to meet<br />
you and your child.<br />
