Our Philosophy

Here at Little Nest Glenfield, our dedicated teachers are committed to providing a place where every child and their whānau feel safe, loved, and have a deep sense of belonging. Our Kaiako believe in building secure, respectful, responsive, and reciprocal relationships with all our tamariki and whānau. 

Little Nest’s education approach is child-led and play-based. Our teachers’ role is not to teach – children are capable and wonderful little people – but to help them learn. By tuning into a child’s unique curiosities, we are in a position to create deep learning opportunities for them.

Professional Teachers

Your child’s innate ability to learn will be sensitively supported by our uniquely qualified and highly experienced kaiako.

Individualised Attention

Our teachers observe and respond to each child's unique needs and interests, ensuring personalised care and education.
