Created within each Bear Park Early Childhood Centre, is a unique and respectful environment that offers children the many opportunities to grow and blossom into competent learners and researchers.

Our environments are carefully prepared and richly resourced to encourage children's creativity and social interactions. There is a love for natural materials throughout the inside and outdoor spaces, which welcomes and offers children the opportunity to explore the wonderful sensory experiences nature has to offer. Attention to detail is important as particular care is taken to design open-ended provocations for the children to encounter.

The Reggio Emilia Philosophy, acknowledging children as unique free-spirited individuals, inspires us.  As teachers we explore children's interests and developments alongside them and celebrate this with joy and respect.
In depth investigations abound, where children engage in meaningful experimentation of their own theories, hypothesising, testing and analysing their ideas.

We aspire to ensure a strong sense of self within each child and create a warm sense of belonging for children and their families. We strongly believe that respectful interactions and reciprocal relationships between children, teachers, and parents are at the heart of learning.

Should you be interested on embarking on this exciting journey with us please contact the Bear Park Centre nearest you to arrange a time to visit.

Let the exciting journey of early childhood begin here...

Early Childhood on Stafford is located on spacious grounds, amongst a natural setting of bush and large trees with spaces to swing, run, ride, hide, and explore. 

This brings some of the experiences and challenges that we as adults had in our childhood to the urban learning environment in a setting that is "safe as necessary as opposed to one that is as safe as possible."

Situated on the corner of Stafford St and Melville St, our childcare centre is very convenient for parents coming into the city from the south, the peninsula and from the hill suburbs.

Our Vision

E.C.O.S. will be a vibrant community of learners within an exciting and challenging environment.

**LovingCare Kindergarten** is licensed by the Ministry of Education and was established by the Auckland Christian Mandarin Church. 

The kindergarten is run by a Governing committee consisting of members of the church, parent representatives, the Centre Manager and the Assistant Centre Manager. 

LovingCare Kindergarten provides an educational programme based on a Christian philosophy. We cater for the interests and abilities of each child. Learning stories are written for each child, and a portfolio made for parents to get to know what their child is doing at kindergarten. This information is used to build a programme based on the Early Childhood Curriculum, Te Whariki. 

Children are taken on trips several times a year, to build their knowledge of the community and to enhance their learning. Everyday we offer special activities for the children to be involved in. Christian philosophy, Christian philosophy and values are incorporated into our learning throughout the day. 

Creative dance, children are given the opportunity throughout the day to express themselves creatively to music.

Cooking/Baking - children have the opportunity to participate in preparing food for themselves and each other. 

School readiness - We believe that children learn through play. Children have the opportunity to develop their self help skills, social & emotional skills, early literacy & numeracy, and the confidence of being a life-long learner in their play. 

We endeavour to work together with the families and the school to provide a happy transition to school. Every two weeks, we have the Waitakere City library bus visit us. We also have 4 year olds taking turns to visit Jireh School and nature walk. Multi cultural - we acknowledge and welcome all cultures

We are privately owned and operated by experienced and qualified early childhood teachers who believe by offering a centre which caters to small numbers we can get to know each child & family's needs and help them to reach their full potential in a caring, friendly environment. We cater for children aged 2 - 5 years of age.

Country Village Preschool is set on a rural block of 1 14 acres which has native bush set behind it. We offer children open spaces where they can be free to explore & learn from the hidden curriculum as they help to care for the centre gardens and animals.
