Botany Junction Childcare Centre

Botany Junction’s Lollipops Educare, located at 277 Ti Irirangi Drive, is dedicated to providing the very best environment and learning opportunities your child. Purpose-built, our state-of-the-art centre includes three separate areas designed to cater to the needs of children at varying ages; each is full of fun, stimulating resources and activities that inspire learning and confidence.

For children to be empowered, our educators provide opportunities for children to create and act on their ideas. We believe that in order for children to develop holistically, we must look at the child as a whole: “cognitively, socially, culturally, emotionally and spiritually,” (Te Whaariki 1996). We believe that all children must be treated as individuals and respected for their uniqueness.

At Lollipops Educare, we believe that the inclusion of family and the community are an integral part of each child’s positive development. We will work with parents in partnership acknowledging their role as their child’s first teacher

    • Babies from birth to 2 years
    • Supertots from 2 - 3 1/2 years
    • Rising 5’s from 3 1/2 – 5 years

 


Babies and toddlers under the age 2 years love our large, colourful and inviting nursery with activities that encourage a multitude of developmental skills. A beautiful sleep room provides a calming, peaceful atmosphere where twinkling stars help to send tired little minds off to sleep.

Toddlers and older children enjoy a wonderful range of activities to meet the unique needs of each individual child. These activities are carefully planned and monitored to enhance all aspects of the child's development - social, emotional, physical and intellectual.

Each room opens out onto a wide, covered deck area and a large inviting playground. Play huts, sand-pits, brightly coloured play structures and climbing frames encourage curiosity, develop motor skills and encourage social play and self-confidence. Children of every age group and developmental stage love the choice of games and play options that take them on the most amazing adventures!
