At Small Wonders Childcare. We are passionate about nurturing a deep respect for Papatūānuku (Earth Mother) through daily sustainable practices and hands-on experiences with nature. From composting and growing kai in our garden to caring for our natural world, we teach children to be thoughtful kaitiaki (guardians) of the environment.

Our practices are responsive to the identities, languages and cultures of our community.

Our goals for Tamariki are that they are happy, curious, competent, resilient, connected and motivated.

Our Small Wonders Childcare Centre Philosophy and Values are embedded in the Māori Values of:

Whanaungatanga, Manākitanga, Whakamana, Kotahitanga and Kaitiakitanga.
