What We Value

Child-Centred Learning

Guided by the philosophies of Reggio Emilia and Dr Emmi Pikler, we prioritise the unique interests and developmental needs of each child. Our approach encourages children to explore their environment, ask questions, and express themselves, fostering a love for learning that is rooted in their individual experiences.

Holistic Development through Active Play

At Your Place Childcare, we embrace the Te Whāriki framework, which emphasises the importance of active play and physical exploration as crucial parts of early childhood education. Our outdoor provocations, including messy play in mud and rain, help children build resilience, confidence, and social skills, all while engaging in healthy, interactive games that promote teamwork and cooperation.

We also advocate for sustainable practices by minimising plastic use and promoting eco-friendly materials, teaching children to appreciate and care for the environment while fostering their creativity through natural play experiences.

Why Families Choose Your Place Childcare

"We could not recommend Your Place, Mel and the amazing teachers at this centre, enough. Our son (2.5 years) began his transition just before lockdown, starting his first official day the same day the lockdown was announced. Mel and the team are incredibly in tune with the children's needs, ensuring they feel safe and happy."
Sam H.
Mother of a 2.5-year-old
"Our son has been attending Your Place Childcare for over two years now, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. The staff is incredibly kind and nurturing, always creating a warm and welcoming environment. They have instilled wonderful values in our son. We particularly appreciate their focus on valuing individual cultural identities and fostering deep relationships among the children. We're grateful to have found such a fantastic childcare provider!"
Dhanushka S.
Mum of a 5-year-old
"Your Place Childcare is a home away from home, filled with friendly and caring teachers, who are super supportive. Lovely outdoor area for exploring and many indoor activities to help ignite their imaginations. Best decision I made was to enroll my son at Your Place."

Professor sharing a testimonial about Melanie Howard's expertise in early childhood education and personalized learning methods.
“Your Place is a wonderful example of the best things about early childhood care and education in Aotearoa New Zealand. Guided by Melanie's values, dedication and experience, the care-focused curriculum creates a strong sense of community for children and their families. The teachers support the learning of children in their own time and at their own pace, in a carefully designed naturally inspired environment. The student teachers I work with always come back enlightened and inspired from their time on practicum placement at Your Place.”
