Babies are the start of something special
For you, they are the start of a whole new chapter of your life; falling in love with someone new and with your growing family.
For us, they are the start of something really special in our childcare centre. Every baby who joins us, joins our growing family and brings something special and unique to our early learning centre.
As our babies grow into toddlers, then pre-schoolers, we grow with them. Our days are guided by them, their interests, health and need for attachment. Right from when your baby starts with us, we are intentionally planning, implementing and evaluating their interests, growth and what kaiako can provide to support their progress over time.
It is a really special privilege to be able to care for your baby, feel the excitement of them achieving their milestones and sharing their days at daycare with you.
All families have different routines, preferences and interests. Some babies and young children have specific health requirements and needs. Families are diverse; with different aspirations for their children, built from different cultures, ethnicities, beliefs and make up. Our early learning centre whānau is just like that too. Our strength comes from our difference, acceptance and curiosity about who we are and what we need from each other.
When your baby joins, you can be assured your aspirations will be valued and their personal routine will be supported. When you share with us your baby’s routine, care, health and dietary requirements, we will follow them, using your baby as the guide and working through the adaptations and changes as they grow.
All of us in Millie’s House Leadership Team are parents. All of us have had our children in childcare from babies and all of us know the experience of parents who place their children in the care of others and that is why our commitment to ensuring your baby is safe, loved and given the nurturing they need from our team is unwavering.
The teachers we have invited to work with your babies at our early learning centre have been chosen because they have a high level of commitment to exceptional childcare. These teachers have an affinity with very young children. Their reward for their hard work is developing a close bond with each child and being part of that very special time in a child’s life.
Our babies and teachers are fortunate to work with better than benchmark legislated ratios.
