Our Vision
We believe that children should be nurtured in an environment that promotes a child’s sense of curiosity, wonder and imagination that fosters exploration and learning through play. We are influenced by the most current and relevant research and theory to support curriculum development, documentation, meaningful play experiences, positive behaviour guidance and environmental aesthetics.

Our original Logo
The koru (Māori for "bight" or "loop") is a spiral shape based on the shape of a new unfurling silver fern frond. The koru reaches towards the light, striving for perfection, encouraging new positive beginnings. The circular shape of the koru helps to convey the idea of perpetual movement while the inner coil suggests a return to the point of origin. The koru, represents the unfolding of new life, that everything is reborn and continues, symbolizing growth, strength and peace. It represents renewal and hope for the future.
The Phoenix is a benevolent, mythical sacred firebird that is said to have the cry of a beautiful song. Near the end of it's long lifespan, it builds itself a nest of twigs then ignites; both nest and bird burn fiercely and are reduced to ashes, from which a new, young phoenix or phoenix egg arises, reborn anew to live again. The phoenix has long been presented as a symbol of rebirth, immortality, and renewal.
