ABOUT US

WELCOME TO FRIMLEY EARLY LEARNING CENTRE... THE NEXT BEST PLACE TO HOME!

Here at Frimley Early Learning Centre we believe in providing quality Early Childhood Education for every child. We believe our children learn best through imaginative play and child-led activities, overlaid with semi-structured learning. Our teaching team strive to make play experience challenging and fun.

We are so proud to share our newly renovated building and re-modelled play area with you and your Tamariki, please check out our photo gallery and pay us a visit. We believe our new-look Frimley Centre helps us provide an even better learning environment for your Tamariki.

TUAKANA (2-5 YEARS)

For our Tuakana (older child) we provide a challenging outdoor environment, with equipment that encourages exploration, self-confidence, independence and interaction with their friends.

This large outdoor area includes a vegetable garden, outdoor kitchen and worm farm. The indoor environment is homely where activities enable the children to make their own choices.

We have a wide variety of resources for children to choose from. We encourage independence, achieving new learning experiences and provide these opportunities daily.

POTIKI (0-2 YEARS)

For our Potiki (younger child) we believe that infants and toddlers should experience life in a calm, serene way. We observe a child’s unique way of communicating and are able to respond to their needs in a respectful manner. This builds a trusted and secure relationship between the teacher and your child.
We are able to walk the children to Frimley Park, which we are blessed to have right on our doorstep. Here the children can play and explore nature, through the different seasons.
Frimley Early Learning Centre is walking distance to Hastings Hospital, Frimley Park Primary School and Hastings Girls High School. We are based on a quiet street with lots of easy access parking.

SUSTAINABILITY

We introduce sustainable habits and practices to our children by encouraging recycling, keeping worm farms and growing our own veges in our very own Frimley garden.
We provide our families with vegetables and produce from our own gardens and other families’ gardens to help with the cost of fresh vegetables and fruits and create a stronger centre community.

As a centre we use Storypark, significantly reducing the amount of paper used for forms and newsletters.
We use local suppliers and partners where possible, supporting the sustainability of businesses in our community.
At Frimley we believe every little bit helps to ensure sustainability for our precious future generations.
