Welcome to our Blog. We hope for this site to be a source of information and inspiration for parents and families, providing useful tips and information about a number of different childcare aspects as well as some fun posts too. We have an incredible staff who are all experts in supporting child development so please let us know if there is a topic you would like to hear from us about, or just need advice. Happy reading!
As tempting as it may be, we need to remind ourselves not to be in too much of a hurry to rush to our child’s rescue because it is the space between falling and standing back up that children learn how find their own feet.
‘We feel incredibly fortunate to have found such a wonderful centre to care for our daughter. A warm welcome awaits us every morning from Vicky and her team and there is always an attractive array of activity tables set up ready to go – it is hard not to get lost in play alongside your children before you leave!
The atmosphere is always happy and fun with music and action happening everywhere. Avalon relishes a challenge and is given the space to test herself daily, fondly recounting her climbing, splashing or jumping skills in stories at the end of each day.
We love the ease of conversation and open communication with the team on Avalon’s growth and know we have the support of the Step Ahead team behind us with manaakitanga, awhi and aroha.
