Scallywaggs Kindergarten & Care
A home away from home. Scallywaggs offers childcare services for children aged 0-6 with childcare centres in Waipukurau, Waipawa and Norsewood.
We have 5 separate age group centres for a more focused teaching and learning environment, with open access to bright nature inspired spaces allowing for active exploration through play!
Scallywaggs Philosophy
At Scallywaggs we value the diversity of our families and aim to develop learning partnerships where cultures, values and aspirations are affirmed.
We pride ourselves in offering an environment that is welcoming, fun, nurturing and stimulating. Each child is unique and as such we will provide a program which will support and celebrate their individual strengths, abilities, interests & needs.
Our parents, whānau and community value the development of the learning priorities of independence, confidence and resilience for their tamariki. Therefore, our passionate kaiako will demonstrate respectful teaching practices and form strong attachments with every child to strengthen these priorities through play based learning.
