Home Based Early Learning

Flexibility, comforts of home, nurturing relations…that’s what our Home Based Early Learning is all about. Your child will thrive as secure attachments blossom between them, their dedicated educator and the small group of children they share their days with.

Why choose Home Based?

Flexibility – care for your child in a home setting and hours to suit your childcare needs
Nurturing – one dedicated educator with no more than four children and everyday childhood experiences in your local community
Experience – passionate and trained educators follow Te Whāriki, NZ Early Childhood Education curriculum, and are supported by monthly visits from a qualified teacher.

About our Barnardos educators

Our educators all have a few things in common – they’re nurturing, enthusiastic, experienced individuals who share a passion for raising the next generation of Kiwi kids.

Experienced - They might be parents themselves, have a background in teaching or an interest in helping their local community. To them, this is a career, not just a job. So, your child will benefit from their focus, commitment and energy.
Educated - Our educators are encouraged to enrol in the Level 4 Certificate in Early Childhood Practice. In-house learning modules and continued professional development are also offered. Attracting and retaining high quality educators is important to us.
Reliable and trustworthy - The safety and wellbeing of your child is always our highest priority
