Titoki
3 - 18 months
Our infant room is a place of calm, warmth, and profound respect.
We view infants as competent, confident and active participants in their own learning.
We honour the unique rhythm of each child, prioritising secure emotional attachments as the essential foundation for all cognitive, physical and social development.
-
Primary Caregiving
Primary caregivers lead the transition from home to the centre, ensuring routines align closely with home practices. Secure attachments give infants the confidence to explore their environment freely, knowing they have a predictable and safe emotional base to return to.
-
Care as Curriculum
Care moments-nappy changes, meal times and sleep transitions-are not tasks to be rushed through. They are primary learning experiences rich in conversation, eye contact and physical connection.
-
Respectful & Unhurried Care Routines
Sleep, feed and play times are guided by individual cues rather than rigid centre schedules.
-
Freedom of Movement & Body Autonomy
Infants are given ample floor time in open, uncluttered spaces that encourage natural motor development at their own pace. Low-profile furniture, natural textures, and safe climbing challenges foster physical independence and self-awareness.
