A tailored learning experience Learning FROM HOME in Christchurch After 5.5 successful years establishing popular home based childcare service Stems frOM HOMe in Auckland, Cantabrian emma McAlister has returned home with her own young family to ‘grow young minds’ in Christchurch too. Stems prides itself on providing flexible, affordable and personalised childcare for busy families who would dearly love their children to have an ‘at home mum’ early learning childhood experience .“This option isn’t often possible for families today for many reasons, but is so very important for our little people” says emma. “ My role is to work personally with each family to find the best match in an educator for them…I love helping create these special relationships!” Stems is fully licensed by the Ministry of education and builds programmes alongside educators for each child which follow the NZ curriculum. Activities, learning and ‘special moments’ are recorded for families by educators every day and children are able to have their own routines maintained, experience peer interactions in well supported small groups, and attend learning experiences out and about in the local community very regularly. Costs range between $6- $7.50 per hour with WINZ and 20 eCe subsidies available.
