Our centre is owned by parents of young children with strong backgrounds in Early Childhood Education. They understand the needs of both children and teachers and are committed to providing high-quality care and education.

Our well-trained management team focuses on “seeing each child,” allowing teachers to spend more meaningful time with children. We offer a wide range of activities and events to support each child’s development while respecting and celebrating the diverse cultures and backgrounds of our families.

Three Kings Early Learning Centre is committed to providing a warm and nurturing environment, where children develop a sense of belonging and create a healthy, happy, and secure approach to learning and living with peers. 

We strive to meet the children’s individual needs with love, patience, and understanding Three Kings ELC education approach is child-led and play-based.

As educators, our role is not to teach – children are capable and wonderful little people – but to help them learn. By tuning into a child’s unique curiosities, we are in a position to create deep learning opportunities for them.

Our teachers believe in creating a trusting relationship with our children so that they are confident in making their learning choices.

We believe in providing rich stimulating learning experiences that challenge and caters to our children’s interest and needs. Our intention as teachers is to inform and plan children’s learning by using Te Whāriki as our foundation of learning as well as incorporating Te Tiriti o Waitangi into our daily practice.

Children are acknowledged as individuals, and their mana and wairua (well-being), personal capabilities, cultural backgrounds, and learning styles are encouraged and respected.

Our goal is to give each child a warm environment that encourages development of social skills, independence, and a positive self-image. Our experienced kaiako (teachers) acknowledge and embrace children as individuals and believe that children bring in their own taonga (uniqueness and giftedness). Our aim is to create a trusting relationship with children and whakamana (empower) children to make their own independent choices, where they get to work towards their problems and solutions and express their feelings freely.
