Aroha (Love) and Rangimarie (Peace) Rooms
Under 2 years

"“A child must know that he is a miracle, that since the beginning of the world there hasn’t been, and until the end of the world there will not be, another child like him.”"

Pablo Casals

At Childsteps, we recognise that the first years of life are a time of extraordinary growth, learning, and discovery. Our Aroha and Rangimārie spaces provide a welcoming environment where infants and toddlers experience responsive care, meaningful relationships, and opportunities to explore the world around them.


Children are supported to develop a strong sense of belonging, wellbeing, and confidence as they engage in play, build relationships, and participate in experiences that foster curiosity, creativity, and communication. Through a balance of nurturing care, group experiences, and child-led exploration, we create opportunities for children to learn alongside others while developing their own unique strengths and capabilities.


Together with families, we nurture capable, competent learners who feel secure in who they are and confident in their place within our community.
