20 Selwyn Times Wednesday January 27 2021 Looking for an early childhood centre that provides quality care and education for your child? Enrolling your child at The Cat’s Pyjamas Preschool & Nursery Rolleston or West Melton will give them the best start to a lifetime of learning! The Cat’s Pyjamas centres have been well supported by the Selwyn community since they opened 12 years ago in Rolleston and 9 years ago in West Melton. The centres are purpose-built with spacious indoor and outdoor areas and a wealth of resources enabling children to have lots of fun whilst learning through play. With quality teacher to child ratios, The Cat’s Pyjamas instils a culture of kindness and respect and creates a welcoming environment for children and their whānau. “Both centres employ experienced qualified early childhood teachers who care for and assist the children in their development to independent, capable and confident learners. Our wonderful staff are our most important asset at The Cat’s Pyjamas. They work incredibly hard to ensure that the children receive the best possible start to a lifetime of learning”, says Tracy Summerfield, who with husband Gavin, own and operate The Cat’s Pyjamas Preschool & Nursery centres in West Melton and Rolleston. Excellent Education Review Office (ERO) reports are testimony of the high quality care and education children receive at The Cat’s Pyjamas. The Cat’s Pyjamas Preschool & Nursery offers high quality and affordable childcare with flexible fee options. All children over 3 years of age are eligible to receive 20 hours free education with no optional charges. Visitors are always welcome.

Freckles Early Learning Centre is a brand new purpose-built facility in Falcon’s Landing, Rolleston with the best and latest pedagogical experiences. Freckles is built on a massive 3500m2 site, and unlike many other centres in Rolleston, is licensed for only 70 children centre-wide. With a focus on excellence in early childhood care and education, the centre has been extremely well-supported by the community since opening last October. “Freckles is a truly magical place of learning, where care is first and foremost, followed by learning that is calm and unhurried yet filled with discovery, imagination and fun,” says Tracy who with husband Gavin, own and operate the successful Cat’s Pyjamas Preschool & Nursery centres in West Melton and Rolleston. “Freckles’ instils a culture of kindness and respect and creates a welcoming environment where children blossom and families feel included”. Tracy says their success with the couple’s Cat’s Pyjamas Rolleston and West Melton preschools is built on having the best possible staff and this has continued at Freckles. “We are committed to staffing our centres with qualified, passionate and caring people who believe in our vision, values and philosophy. Our teachers have the relevant skills and experience, and they always put the children in their care before anything else.” The Freckles vision: creating places that are rich in love, laughter and learning. “Every decision we make comes from the heart,” Tracy adds. “Our aim is to provide beautiful spaces that are full of happy, nurtured and challenged children, where the wonder of learning thrives.’ “To us, family is everything. We are passionate about creating early learning centres that offer a safe, welcoming and nurturing environment”. Freckles Early Learning Centre provides space and opportunity for physical play. Play is valuable for children’s physical development as they run, climb, skip, hop, jump, throw and catch. Physical play helps build on children’s fine and gross motor skills, and having the space to provide swings, bike tracks, fixed and moveable play equipment is very important for child development.
