The BENEFITS of our PROGRAMME...

Child Care and Preschool Education at home

Playschool Education’s Programme Co-Ordinator’s, alongside of the Educator, plan and implement Learning and Development strands and goals following Te Whariki, the Early Childhood Curriculum in New Zealand. Te Whariki provides a framework to guide children’s learning. Te Whariki is founded on the following aspirations for children: “To grow up as confident learners and communicators, healthy in mind, body and spirit, secure in the sense of belonging and in the knowledge that they make a valued contribution to society”

Our programme is unique and personalised and will provide your child with an education programme that meets their individual needs and requirements.

Playschool is licensed by the Ministry of Education and audited by the Education Review Office (ERO) ensuring that the programme your child receives is of a high standard and meets their educational needs.

Because Playschool is a totally FREE service including all the resources, we provide for you as a parent you can now ensure your child gets the best educational support without the financial strain on your family.

Playschool offers non-income tested subsidies to every child of up to $4.20 per hour (depends on age) that’s right every child regardless of your financial position can receive a Playschool subsidy. As we are also WINZ and OSCAR approved, we may also be able to access government funding to assist you to pay for your home-based childcare.

Playschool is licensed in most areas including:

 Greater Auckland including Wellsford

 Waikato & surrounding areas

 Manawatu & Taranaki

 Hawkes Bay & Gisborne

 Greater Wellington

 Greater Canterbury

 Otago

 Queenstown & lakes areas

*We plan to expand to cover all other areas in 2019 which includes

Bay of Plenty.

Playschool’s Benefits

Playschool’s learning programme is based on the National Early Childhood Curriculum and up to date research from industry leaders. If you are looking for the best for your preschoolers then you have found it. Playschool has been recognized by Little Treasures Magazine to provide education support that is different from any other home-based care service.

When our Programme Co-ordinator visit these are just some of the benefits you can expect to receive.

 Fun and exciting monthly activities delivered to you each month.

- Our exclusive activity passes with the option of a free annual Zoo or Motat pass or subsidized swimming or gym lessons.

 Free use of child book and adult reference library.

 Each family provided with a fun art pack for over two.

 Portfolio provided to record your child’s progress.

 Regular and exciting organised activities for Educators and Families including the much-awaited Christmas party.

 Regular structured activities.

 Training and development opportunities offered to Educators and Families to ensure they are kept up to date on current childcare practices. Course examples are preparing your 4-year-old for school, dealing with tantrums and toilet training. These are provided in house or by a range of guest speakers such as parent coaches and authors.

 Free Pediatric First Aid Courses for the Educator.

 Strong support network for Families and Educators alike.

Home Based Child Care Benefits

 Your child will thrive in an environment that is as safe and welcoming as your own home.

 Each child can have their own routine, sleep when they need sleep, eat when they get hungry.

 Creates normality in your child’s day, doing typical daily things like going to the supermarket, outings on a regular basis, playdates, and other outings you would normally do with your child.

 Opportunity to visit their local libraries, parks and attractions.

 Flexible hours to fit in with your lifestyle, children can remain in current activities such as playgroups, kindergartens.

 Health plays an important part in your choice for childcare options and with a smaller number of children in the care environment, the risk of illnesses and health issues are reduced.

 Education is personalized to suit each child individually and learning goals are set monthly for each child, with personal family visits from one of our Programme Co-ordinator.

 Personal relationships are built with continuity of caregivers, with not having staff members roll over.

 One caregiver only for your child.
