Our learning spaces allow children to explore their environments with confidence, to foster social competence, motor skills, movement, art & creativity, music, science and technology, language and numbers. We have also created spaces for parents and whānau to gather as they talk and plan for their child’s learning journey at Equippers Kids.
The best way to get a feel for our centre is to come and visit! Call us on 0800 375 437 to make an appointment or email us on info@equipperskids.com - We look forward to showing you around!
Designed for children and whānau
Our learning environments have been designed specifically for children and whānau. We have involved some of the best architects, landscapers, engineers and builders to make sure that our environments are homely, inspiring and safe, in order to put the needs and aspirations of children first.
Our indoor learning spaces are designed so that:
Spaces are functional and have a stimulating aesthetic with colour, shapers and décor
Natural light is utilised best
Spaces are airy and are designed allow for lots of varied activities that lead seamlessly to outdoor play areas
Spaces are versatile and support a variety of in-room activities for children of all ages and stages
Our Outdoor learning spaces:
Reflect our philosophy and include very specialised structures that challenge each child’s development
Are safe and promote safe play practices
Include a variety of natural elements, such as sand, soil, grass, trees and shrubs, and water.
Group sizes
Rooms designed with care for infants, toddlers and preschoolers give each child freedom to learn and play, plus regular opportunities for interaction between age groups. We have deliberately designed our rooms to cater for smaller numbers of children which allows for better supervision and learning for each child.
