Why us
Inclusive atmosphere
Our dedicated teaching team is committed to catering to the distinct and varied needs of every child while respecting the values of each family. We prioritize open communication and collaboration through various avenues. By actively engaging parents and whānau, we ensure their voices are heard in shaping the learning journey of their children. Their aspirations are integrated into the individualized learning plans of each child. We take pride in celebrating the diverse
cultures and languages represented by our children and staff, affirming their unique identities in our nurturing environment.
Caring
environment
Inspired by the work of Emmi Pikler and Magda Gerber, we have created a warm, caring and respectful learning environment in which children feel secure, accepted, respected, and are comfortable spending time away from their family during the day. The key to this environment, is the trusting and reciprocal relationships between children, families, and the teacher. Through a primary caregiving approach, we ensure that in the Centre one teacher is committed to building a close relationship with each child and their family, so every child is seen, heard, understood, and supported to grown and learn.
Developmental supportive
We have THREE specific “stage-related” learning spaces/rooms. There are regular opportunities for mixed-age group play. Our resources are rich in natural and heuristic resources. Kowhai room (Under 2s’) recognises that infants are competent individuals with their own agendas and should be treated with respect; Pohutukawa room (2-3s’) provides a rich and inviting indoor and outdoor environment/resources based on children’s interests and strengths; Kauri room (over 3s’) has a strong focus on assisting children in discovering who they are so they can express their own opinions and nurture their own id
Quality
Curriculum
Our curriculum is emergent and planned. Teachers create inviting and stimulating daily provocation and plan experiences based on the children’s current needs and interests, which offer opportunity for exploration and investigation. More learning opportunities are offered such as regular outings and getting ready for school programe. Weekly library visit and bushwalk trips are full of fun, wonder, adventure, and discoveries. Getting ready for school programe helps 4-year-old children develop essential skills for primary school.
Celebrating interests& strengths
We offer a high-quality documenting system which celebrates individual children’s interests and strengths in their journey of learning and development. Each child has a portfolio book which their teacher adds to with stories about their interests, strengths and special milestones. Educa is an E-portfolio which connects centre and home environment and encourages parents to get more involvement in children’s learning and connect. Facebook whānau group, visual diary, Infants communication book, Getting ready for school book, are other ways to celebrate children’s learning.
Nutritious & delicious food
We appreciate the quality of food that children eat significantly contributes to their growth and development and establishing a healthy eating habit can sets them up for life. We design our seasonal menus following the Heart Foundation’s guidance. Our well-experienced Centre Cook makes us nutritious and delicious meals on site with fresh ingredients. We also meet the needs of children who have food allergies or intolerances to certain foods or food groups, gluten free and specific dietary requirements.

Testimonials
Irene (Manager) to see each child's individual strengths, needs and create a plan. Our child needed extra support to settle in, and they really came to the party, creating a beautiful plan for our little poppet. They have been very respectful and inclusive about our choice to raise our baby gender-creative, and I love how much they notice about our child - we are lucky to have found a daycare centre that is so attuned, so intentional and so kind. They really have love for their little people."
almost 1 year. It is one of the best early education centres in Auckland i must say. Fully equipped and great environment for the Tamariki. The staff are professional, well educated and kind. My children learned a lot and developed new skills while attending Cozy corner and they enjoyed being the centre. I would definitely recommend this day care centre to all families who want to send their Tamariki to early childhood centre. We’ll miss you Cozy corner."
quality care and learning Cozy Corner provides to my son. The staff is very
helpful and supportive. We feel the love and care and all the positive vibes
when we go to drop off and pick up our son. Arjun loves his teachers a lot.
Thank you for everything!
