Songbird Early Childhood Centre

We are situated in a beautiful rural setting halfway between Omokoroa and Katikati. Beyond the fence is an enthusiastic, caring and nurturing team of qualified early childhood teachers. Songbird is surrounded by farmland and orchards. Set amongst trees and native plants it has a large lawn, vegetable garden, playground and huge sandpit. An inviting space to relax, explore, play, discover and learn. A home away from home.

Our centre provides education and care for 2-5 year olds. Our families and whanau enjoy a friendly, dedicated team who are passionate about supporting children on their learning journey. At Songbird we build trusting, respectful and reciprocal relationships with our children, families, and whanau. We believe that a secure sense of belonging and community is an important foundation for exploration, discovery, and learning. Children are supported to develop self-management skills to ensure that they have the best preparation for their progression to primary school. Each child has a beautiful record of their learning in a portfolio. This documents how their learning and development is progressing and becomes a delightful keepsake for children and their families.
