North Canterbury, Child Minding

At Tree Bears we recognise the importance of early childhood education and care. Our Programme reflects our belief that learning begins at home, we support this by offering a safe nuturing environment for all tamariki/children in our community. Being a bi-cultural society, we strive to promote bi-cultural tikanga practices, use of te reo Maori which reflects Tiriti o Waitangi.

We provide a safe and healthy environment for children to grow and learn emotionally, cognitively and physically. Our comprehensive, balanced, flexible programme reflects the children’s interests in ways that are developmentally appropriate to the age and stage of the children.

Peppertree Preschool is a family run and operated Preschool. We offer three separate inside and outside environments. Our Nursery caters for children from birth to two years, the Preschool for two to three year olds and the Prepschool for the older children.

We are an enviroschool which encourages children to be connected to nature with plenty of opportunities to explore and discover in an engaging and exciting environment! We also have an exciting art studio where the children can indulge their artistic side, and a homely Kai room where children can dine in a home-like environment fully catered for by our full-time chef!

The Nanny Company are a friendly, well informed organisation that provide affordable, quality home based care for preschool aged children. We have a range of services for families looking for home based care.

Educator or Nanny, we can give you the information and help you to choose the right option for your family. Home Grown Kids get to do everything that kids should do; climb, bake, play and enjoy the outdoors.
