Westgate welcomed a new childcare centre!
A family-owned and operated childcare centre is a welcome addition to the growing area. Set apart from other centres by the unique philosophy of ‘one child at a time’, Eduplay Childcare in Westgate believe that children all grow and develop in their own unique way. This means the entire centre is focused on the individual child’s development to ensure they progress from room to room and a more stimulating environment when they are ready and not only according to their age.
An important point of difference is that Eduplay is a sugar-free centre serving wholesome, nutritious, meals for children enrolled in their all-day programme. Centre founder, Tupa’i Apa says “our goal is to provide an eating environment that promotes the development of good eating habits and supports family and multicultural values”.
Eduplay Westgate is a large centre that feels small. This is mainly due to the fact the five age-appropriate rooms all have their own separate playgrounds. Head Teacher, Sarah Keown, says, “age-appropriate playgrounds and rooms are essential in large centres, and keeping them separate from each other ensures that our teachers can monitor the experiences they set up to ensure the safest possible environment.” Eduplay Westgate also has its own car park which makes drop off and pick up easy and stress-free.
We're currently enrolling so pop in and have a look around before we fill up.
We're talking new year resolutions...
Tidying the house before going to bed each night, meditating upon waking or taking the stairs at work.
What’s something quick, or easy, that you started doing that made a major positive change in your life?
What word sums up 2024, neighbours?
If 2020 was the year of lockdowns, banana bread, and WFH (work from home)....
In one word, how would you define 2024?
We're excited to see what you come up with!
