teachers, a teacher’s aide, a teaching<br />
assistant, and a cook and cleaner.<br />

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 />
If you are looking for quality childcare<br />
