Tui Room
2 - 3 years
In the Tui Room, our little explorers aged 2 to 3 years embark on a journey of discovery and growth. We understand the unique needs of this age group, and our dedicated team is committed to providing a nurturing environment that encourages curiosity, creativity, and social development.
For our youngest learners, play is the language of discovery. The Tui Room is designed to be a haven of exploration, filled with age-appropriate toys, activities, and spaces that stimulate their developing senses. Our skilled teachers engage children in purposeful play that lays the foundation for cognitive, emotional, and social growth
In the Tui Room, we emphasize the importance of social interaction. Through carefully crafted activities, children learn to share, take turns, and express themselves in a group setting. Our teachers facilitate positive interactions, fostering the early development of social skills that are vital for future relationships.
Social interaction is a key focus in the Tui Room, where children learn the art of sharing, taking turns, and expressing themselves within a group setting. Storytime and singing sessions add a delightful touch to our daily routine, enhancing language development and setting the stage for a lifelong love of words. From introducing the wonders of art to engaging in sensory play, our little Tui learners are exposed to a world where creativity knows no bounds. Each transition is approached with care, ensuring that every child feels secure and supported as they navigate the early stages of exploration. Join us in the Tui Room, where every day is an adventure in discovery, play, and the joy of early learning.
At Mangatawhiri Childcare, we believe in the power of a strong partnership between parents and our childcare community. Regular communication and updates provide parents with insights into their child’s daily activities and the delightful moments of growth in the Tui Room. Join us in this vibrant community, where the Tui Room is not just a space but a thriving hub of learning, friendship, and endless possibilities for our little ones.
New children starting
To make your child’s transition smoother into the Tui room, we recommend a minimum of four visits. For new children starting at the centre, we would like visits to start two weeks prior to your child’s start date. The first visit is ideally at 10:00am on the selected day of your choice for one hour and you must stay with your child. This allows your child to become familiar with our environment and routine.
Before you leave after the first visit, the Head Teacher/Centre Admin will arrange more visits with you. It is ideal to have between four and six visits before starting, and times can be more flexible suiting you and your child.
