At Eastern Bays Early Childhood Learning Centre we strive to provide our children with an enriched programme where play is valued and recognised as meaningful and authentic learning.  Collaboration between teachers, children and parents is the foundation of our child-initiated programme planning.

We believe that children are lifelong learners. The early years play an important role in a child’s life and that is why we endeavour to provide many opportunities within our environment that will support and build a solid foundation for their continuous learning throughout life. 

Each child has the potential to bring something unique and special to the world.  We will assist them in discovering who they are so they can express their own opinions and nurture their own ideas.  We embrace a vision of a world where people respect, accept and celebrate differences. We value all our families and believe it is important to develop strong partnerships between the home and the centre.
To assist you on making an informed decision when selecting a preschool for your child, the Education Review Office has a guide to help parents.  Select the link  Early Childhood Education: A Guide for Parents 2007 to view.

Eastern Bays Learning Centre employs staff who are caring, trained, experienced professionals, responsible for providing a safe, secure and educational environment.  All staff members hold current First Aid Certificates. The teaching team also consists of students in training and/or who have valuable experience  in working with children.
All teaching staff participate in ongoing professional development in order to keep up with current practices in Early Childhood Education.

As we value lifelong learning, teachers are encouraged to continue their professional development to enhance their knowledge of Early Childhood Education.

Working alongside our teaching team are our support workers: a cook, cleaner, relievers, educational support workers, the Stadium Manager and the Stadium Administrator.

We offer full day sessions (8.00am - 4.30 pm) to children aged from 9 months to 5 years, with a 4 hour session option available for under 3 years of age (only).

We are located in the premises of Barfoot & Thompson Stadium (previously ASB Stadium), on Kohimarama Road
