Kia ora, my name is Samantha and I provide a loving home-based childcare service through Nurture@Home in Woodbourne, Blenheim.
My core belief is that children are capable, ready to learn, and deserve to feel loved, respected, and valued. I understand the importance of holistic development, positive environments, and the need to prioritise every child’s health and well-being. I believe in giving children many opportunities to express themselves through conversations, play, artistic activities, music, and sensory play. I also believe that children thrive in an environment that shows respect, security, kindness, engagement, and fun. I have a particular passion for learning New Zealand Sign Language and incorporating approaches within the Reggio Emilia teaching philosophy, which places a large focus on creating a feeling of community in the families who attend.
My programme consists of Playschool, library trips, regular playground outings, and walks in our community. I offer a range of resources that include art materials, climbing equipment, pretend kitchen, messy play, water play, books on all different topics, carpentry, blocks and playdough. I like to provide a range of activities that promote social, emotional, spiritual and mental development for all tamariki.
