Claire's In-Home Childcare 2.03

Hello, Talofa Lava, Kia Ora, Welcome.

I am Claire, a mother of two. I've been working with children for over 20 years and especially love providing an atmosphere children can thrive and grow in.

I know how important it is to find an educator you trust and someone who understands the highs and lows of being a parent.

Availability is limited, so please call to confirm current vacancies. I look forward to welcoming you into our home.

I am currently working for Porse and, as a parent, you could be entitled to 20 hours ECE and a WINZ subsidy, if eligible.

What we offer: We have spaces for up to four children each day in our home-based family day care.

We have a warm and inviting place with accessible toys and quality learning materials, along with areas to find quiet, to think, to build, to imagine, to read, to play, to discover!

Developmentally-appropriate and child friendly, our day care is a place where security, identity and belonging are paramount. We also have a covered conservatory area for all-weather activities.

My Philosophy for childcare:

I strive to provide a warm, friendly and nurturing home-based, caring environment for all my children and their parents. I enjoy offering planned activities according to each child's specific needs as well as quality resources and opportunities for self-directed play both indoors and outdoors.

It is important to me that children are able to explore, experiment, investigate and participate in the environment around them... and this is how I have set up my learning and play spaces throughout our house.

I am a huge believer in getting kids out into the garden, growing and caring for plants and the environment. We incorporate a lot of upcycling in our play and our kids come away thriving with new skills.

We celebrate cultural activities in our community and enjoy visiting local play groups, parks and playgrounds, as weather permits.
