Our Environment

The Vines Early Learning Centre Auckland – Growing the future

The Vines Early Learning Centre in Henderson provides a safe and nurturing environment for your child to grow and learn in their early years.

early childhood education centers

Specialising in education and care from nursery to school

We care for children from 3 months to 6 years of age and provide them with the support they need to thrive.

Early childhood education is greater than ABCs and 123s

Our programme fosters a love of learning. The range of learning experiences throughout the day helps children’s social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development. It also encourages skills such as leadership, cooperation, negotiation, respect and responsibility. Our daily routine provides consistency around everyday activities such as settling, kai time, learning and play. We also encourage and respect quiet, reflective times.

Interactions that build relationships

Each child in our care gets quality time with an engaged caregiver. To ensure that children get the attention they need when they need it, we have a higher teacher-to-child ratio than is currently required by NZ law. This means that our qualified educators can provide more one-on-one interaction, helping children to develop trusting relationships and learn at their own pace.

The right and need for children to play 

Outdoor play is essential to a child’s development. Our separate outdoor areas for children of different age groups provide a safe and stimulating space to explore, connect with nature, and learn through play.

Learning and growing at their own pace

Our six separate age-appropriate rooms allow children to learn and develop in an environment that caters to them. Each room at our early learning centre has resources and activities tailored to that age group’s needs and interests. Our kaiako are highly engaged and committed to providing quality time to each child under their care.
