Ministry of Education | Education Review Office
“Parents and their children are warmly welcomed into the centre. They enjoy a strong sense of belonging and they are supported by the respectful, caring relationships they experience with staff and peers. Māori culture, language and identity are valued through positive and affirming interactions. Children and their parents/whānau benefit from a holistic, caring and supportive environment.
Babies and toddlers experience relationships that are nurturing and supportive. Teachers are respectful of each child’s individual rhythms and preferences. Key teachers work with parents and whānau to create a settled environment for these very young children. Babies and toddlers are well catered for, free to explore and learn in meaningful social and cultural contexts.
Children are confident learners. They trust adults to nurture their sense of self-worth and be responsive to their needs, interests and strengths.
Staff have a wide range of skills, expertise, knowledge and experience, which they bring to the centre.”

Awesome Teachers
The teachers at Play to learn are so friendly and approachable and open to discuss any concerns or problems I have had and they are open to feedback and when necessary they implement changes. Play to learn has become an extended party of my son’s family and somewhere he feels safe and cared for by all teachers in either room. We are very grateful to have found Play to learn and to have had such awesome teachers for our son.
