About Claudelands Early Education Centre

Claudelands delivers high quality education and childcare close to the Hamilton CBD.

Children learn best in environments that build warm and trusting relationships. Children, teachers and families are learning companions, and enthusiasm for learning is shared. At our Centre we respect the contribution that each person makes to learning, each member of our community, children and adults, are valued for their expertise.

We encourage and support children to build friendships and respect and kindness are among the values of our Centre. Social skills are developed through teachers role-modelling and teaching children to communicate and respond appropriately to their own thoughts and emotions.

  • Learning skills such as independence, creativity and curiosity
  • Friendships that may last throughout their schooling
  • Relationships with consistent, familiar teachers
  • To understand and operate within a structured routine

Teachers provide learning extensions that prepare you child for school which include numeracy & numbers, literacy & language, nature & science, computers & technology, puzzles & games, creative arts, sand & water play, trips, transition to school programme, child friendships… and more!
