Kopuwai Early Learning Centre
Kopuwai Early Learning Centre is a fully independent community based childcare centre run by a Management Committee of parents and with 100% qualified teachers.
Kopuwai Early Learning Centre is the only not-for-profit, parent run childcare centre in Alexandra and we pride ourselves on being a small centre, with a strong whānau and community focus. We have high teacher:child ratios, diverse settings and planning that focuses on individual children's needs.
Kopuwai Early Learning Centre strongly believes in providing children with an environment which encourages health and wellbeing; promoting education and holistic development through:
• Problem solving
• Independent thinking
• Social interactions
• Reciprocal relationships and
• Nurturing dispositions
Our Centre’s culture also promotes creative expression and active exploration encouraging children to challenge themselves physically and mentally providing opportunities to develop their dispositions for future formal learning. Through learning about our natural environment children are able to develop working theories about their wider world.
