We believe RIE philosopy is suitable for our infant and toddler. The basis of Magda Gerber’s RIE Philosophy is respect for, and trust in the baby to be an initiator, and an explorer, and a self learner. We promote primary caregiver for our under 2s, which will help the child and the families to settle quickly while finding a senses of belonging.
We have very smooth transition procedures, and also has varied learning programme for our children, for example daily basis S.T.E.M programmes suitable for different age groups, transition to school programme and specilised lessons for children. We will keep your children busy here and promise the happy learning happens.
Our environment is a place of beauty both inside and outside. Our learning environment is enriched with love and the atmosphere is calm and nurturing. At Wonder Bees, we foster the innate tendency of tamariki to seek connections with nature and other forms of life. This happens through taking learning out of the classroom, re-introducing the outdoors whilst enhancing all areas of their development through a natural discovery approach. We value the environment as a third teacher or an environmental steward. The tamariki enjoy the freedom of leading their own learning, exploring and discovering uninhibited in our environment. Children learn most effectively when they are connecting deeply with nature through play experiences. This is about creating interactions with people and the places where they play, learning to care for nature and the world in which we live. The concept of sustainability is introduced through experiential learning. Being outdoors in a natural setting enables children to develop a connection with the natural world that can lead to long-term environmental awareness and understanding as well as positive outcomes for their developing views of the world.
I promise you every day your child will learning something.
Some days they will bring it home in their hands.
Some days they will bring it home in their heads,
and some days they will bring it home in their hearts.

Welcome to our child-led daycare center! Our dedicated kaiako (teachers) create stimulating environments that ignite children’s curiosity and support their development, both indoors and outdoors.
We are licensed to 10 under 2’s and 30 over 2’s.
We ensure personalized attention with a 1:3 ratio for children under 2 and a 1:6 ratio for children over 2. This nurturing and engaging approach helps children explore, learn, and grow at their own pace.
At our daycare center, we pride ourselves on a smooth and personalized transition process, understanding that each child is unique. The initial visit including the key transition teacher meets parents and the child, gathering detailed information about the child’s home routine, likes, and dislikes.
Parents stay with the child for one hour, helping them become familiar with the new environment alongside the key teacher.
The second visit and the third visit, parents are gradually reducing the involvement time and provide the chance to the key transition teacher with the child. The key teacher stays with the child throughout the visit, providing comfort and support to ease the transition.
Yes, we provide nutritious meals at our daycare center. Our meal program is designed to offer balanced and healthy options that cater to the dietary needs and preferences of all children. We prioritize fresh, wholesome ingredients and can accommodate specific dietary requirements or allergies upon request. Meals are an integral part of our daily routine, ensuring children have the energy and nutrition they need to thrive throughout the day.
