Learning FROM HOME<br />

in Christchurch<br />

After 5.5 successful years establishing<br />

popular home based childcare service<br />

Stems frOM HOMe in Auckland,<br />

Cantabrian emma McAlister has returned<br />

home with her own young family to ‘grow<br />

young minds’ in Christchurch too.<br />

Stems prides itself on providing flexible,<br />

affordable and personalised childcare for<br />

busy families who would dearly love their<br />

children to have an ‘at home mum’ early<br />

learning childhood experience .“This<br />

option isn’t often possible for families<br />

today for many reasons, but is so very<br />

important for our little people” says<br />

emma. “ My role is to work personally<br />

with each family to find the best match<br />

in an educator for them…I love helping<br />

create these special relationships!”<br />

Stems is fully licensed by the Ministry<br />

of education and builds programmes<br />

alongside educators for each child which<br />

follow the NZ curriculum. Activities,<br />

learning and ‘special moments’ are<br />

recorded for families by educators every<br />

day and children are able to have their<br />

own routines maintained, experience<br />

peer interactions in well supported small<br />

groups, and attend learning experiences<br />

out and about in the local community<br />

very regularly. Costs range between $6-<br />

$7.50 per hour with WINZ and 20 eCe<br />

subsidies available.<br />
