EAGLEBY CAMPUS: TE KOHANGA EKARA
Eagleby Campus is a 76 place centre. We provide childcare and education from 6 weeks of age through to school age. We have 5 rooms with large outdoor areas for the children to explore. Our centre prides itself on the amazing relationships we build with families, always encouraging their input and to become more involved within the centre and community.
Our Kaiako are passionate about early childhood education, providing all children with quality childcare in all areas of the National Quality Standards.
A unique and highly regarded offering at Eagleby Campus is the Te Kohanga Ēkara. We are very proud to have Te reo and Tikanga being incorporated into the Australian Early Childhood Education Curriculum. This unique Kiwi childcare program creates a place for our tamariki/mokopuna to access the Māori culture, tikanga and kawa, even here in Australia!
We also make it easy for your child to access swimming lessons from our Centre.

Our Curriculum
Te Kohanga Ēkara applies kaupapa māori method and practice into the program with a strong emphasis on Te Reo Māori. Our programs are based on the developmental needs of children & their interests through play based learning ensuring all children are reaching their learning outcomes.
Our aim is to provide a safe, secure and supportive environment incorporating natural play spaces for the children to explore using their sensory capabilities. We wish to encouraging, inspire and extend each child’s learning and help prepare them for the transition to school and life.
