NatureFocus
At Nurture@Home Childcare & Education we are passionate about supporting children to connect with nature and Papatuanuku.
At our weekly NatureFocus the environments offer a variety of possibilities for exploring, planning, reasoning & learning as the children are able to study, discover, investigate and search.
We have been operating our NatureFocus for over 8 years, meeting weekly in the outdoors to provide children with opportunities to connect with nature and explore local environments, developing a sense of belonging in their community and an attachment with nature. Re-visiting familiar settings encourages the children to develop confidence, and our children know they belong and have a sense of connection to the environment. At Nurture@Home Childcare & Education the children’s relationship to Papatūānuku is based on whakapapa, respect and aroha.
Our Home Educators
Our Home Educators care for your child in their own home, providing a nurturing home environment where your child will feel loved, secure, respected and free to learn through adventure and discovery to reach their full potential.
Our Nanny Educators
Nanny Educators work with families to provide care and education in the child’s own home. Nanny Educators can also work alongside families in a support role or work together with two or more families to share the benefits and the cost.
Family Educator
If you already have a friend or family member caring for your child you might like to consider enrolling them with us to enjoy the benefits of our programme, including access to subsidies and the support of a great team.
