ABC Springlands  

ABC Springlands offers quality care and education in Blenheim. Our centre is purpose-built with a wonderful playground for children to explore and have adventures in. We are well-resourced with committed, caring and experienced teachers.

Our learning spaces are designed for children in similar age groups with environments and resources that best meet their age and stage of development.

We have close relationships with our parents, sharing information in many ways so they always know what is happening at the centre. Every day, our parents know what their child is doing and learning.

Our learning programmes

Infants - We know parents want their baby to feel loved and secure. Through holding, singing and talking our teachers give infants one-on-one care and attention which builds strong relationships. Our teachers understand child development and know how to enhance children’s learning.

Toddlers - This age group needs lots of attention and interaction. Each day we will provide an environment that allows children to learn through play and exploration. Teachers provide a wide range of fun learning activities that allow the children to use their five senses and extend their physical motor skills. We provide routines and expectations that meet this age group’s level of development.

Preschool children  - This age group loves to learn. We look for ways to extend and explore each child’s natural curiosity and theories about the world around them. Children of this age are self-motivated and often set their own learning goals. We will allow time for children to master their set tasks whilst providing support and opportunities to extend their learning.

Ready for school - When children turn four, we introduce our Be School Ready initiative which prepares children for school. We offer computer programmes to support literacy and mathematical concepts and help children develop IT skills. We document this in their journals.
