We value the partnership between teachers, families/whānau, the children and the community. We will ensure that family/whānau will be involved and respected throughout their child’s learning journey.
Otatara Preschool Early Learning Centre is a modern, purpose-built Centre located in a semi-rural setting in Otatara, five minutes from Invercargill City.
With the Otatara Scenic Reserve on our doorstep our tamariki can enjoy weekly excursions to explore the nature reserve. We have our own private preschool van that enables us to explore our wider community too with regular visits to Play Pods at Stadium Southland, the Library and Queens Park.
We offer a range of learning experiences in a well-resourced, creative and inspiring environment that promote creativity, curiosity and joy. We also support tamariki in successful transition to school promoting ‘readiness’ by developing self-managing skills, social and emotional capabilities.
Our expansive natural playgrounds provide our tamariki with rich sensory experiences to explore and interact with nature. These experiences build resilience, self-esteem and confidence, and are promoted through outdoor play, all of which has a positive impact on tamariki’s overall well-being.
