Room to explore.
Care to grow.
A purpose-built early learning centre for children from 3 months to 5 years. Reggio Emilia–inspired, guided by Te Whāriki.
How we see children
Every child is capable, curious and full of ideas. We give them time, real materials and people who listen.
How children learn here
Four ways into learning.
Hover or tap to open. Each one is part of an ordinary day at Peacocks.
-
One hundred languages
Paint, clay, wire, music, movement and talk. Children have many ways to say what they think, and we make room for all of them.
-
Māori heritage and biculturalism
Te reo Māori, tikanga and the stories of Aotearoa belong in every day, for every child.
-
Loose materials, open-ended play
Fabric, timber, stones and shells. Things that can become anything, so the child decides what they are.
-
Outdoors, and caring for the world
Time outside, and the habit of looking after the plants, animals and places around us.
