New Shoots Hamilton Childcare Centre

We are a modern, inner city centre providing education and care for our tamariki. The team are passionate about outdoor education and have a “Playing in Nature” commitment. Our preschool tamariki take a bus to Taitua arboretum every week and spend the day playing in the gorgeous natural surrounds offered there. Our three-year-olds walk to the lake every week to play in the bush and open grass area ensuring they are experiencing a natural, play-based programme.

New Shoots Hamilton is very well resourced and feels like a home away from home. We value a play-based programme of learning, genuine respect and understanding and encourage trusting, respectful partnerships with our parents and whānau. We believe in encouraging whānau participation, being involved in community events and supporting charities.

Our passionate teachers all have a lifelong love of learning and continue to learn and grow alongside our whānau and tamariki. Ako Ako.

If you feel tired just thinking about Christmas, you’re not alone. Christmas is a magical time, but it’s also a chaotic one with endless shopping and planning, wrapping paper and presents. While the adrenaline is pumping as we tick items off the to-do list, our children are watching – and picking up on our stress. So, how can we make Christmas simpler and less frenzied for the whole family this year? Read our latest blog post for some tips.
Are you coming to one of our open days at The Lakes? Here are a few peeks inside the centre. We can't wait to meet you all. If you're in the Pyes Pa/The Lakes area, pop in to say hi! See our Facebook page for details about the open days.
If you care about the environment, you’ve no doubt wondered ‘how can I teach my children to do the same?’. The best way to inspire children to look after our precious resources is to lead by example. Forget about educating them on the dreary details, instead focus on how you’re helping our environment thrive. We know life’s busy and often ‘easy’ wins over ‘what’s eco’, which is why we believe making little changes is the way forward (and more sustainable in the long run). Head over to our blog to read more.
Such a fantastic idea from the Kauri Room at New Shoots Hobsonville: "The idea of the toy swap came from our wonderful teacher Keren. We have been talking about Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Rethink. During a mat time conversation on the term 'reduce' Keren mentioned how our toys are something that we could reduce. To really care for what we have. And also that if we did not want the ones we have that they could be treasured by someone else. So the idea of the swap was formed. This week we will swap them. The children are so excited, both with what they have shared and what they can see in the box."
If you’ve been past New Shoots Pakuranga recently, you might have noticed some changes. The café is no longer there, and we’ve transformed the area into a new pre-school space, with an exciting outdoor learning programme. The children in this space closely connect with Papatūānuku in a 3 day a week outdoor “bush kindy” programme called Tane Mahuta. The other 2 days are spent doing meaningful, environmental project based learning back in the centre. Read more about the programme on our blog (link in our bio)
Spring is here, and the promise of sunny days ahead inspires us to get outside. It might look like a simple walk, play at the park, inspection of some rocks or a pause by the duck ponds but being outdoors provides our children with so much more than what we see as adults.
