About Biggles
Welcome to Biggles, where every child is a treasure and learning is an adventure!
Our Mission: At Biggles, our mission is to provide a nurturing and enriching environment where children can grow, learn, and thrive. We believe in fostering a love for learning from a young age, shaping confident and independent learners.
Our Journey: Biggles began with a vision to create a early learning centre that not only meets the educational needs of children but also nurtures their emotional and social development. Our centres, located in Tauranga and Mount Maunganui, are designed to be homely and welcoming, ensuring a smooth transition for children from home to a learning environment.
Our Approach: Our teaching philosophy is inspired by Te Whāriki, New Zealand's early childhood curriculum, and enriched by the principles of Montessori. We believe in a holistic approach to education, where each child’s cultural background is respected and valued. Our programmes are tailored to foster creativity, curiosity, and a sense of community.
Our Team: Our educators are our greatest asset. They are highly qualified, experienced, and passionate about early childhood education. Regular professional development ensures that our team is equipped with the latest teaching strategies and knowledge.
Small Centre, Big Heart: We take pride in being a smaller centre, which allows us to maintain low child-to-teacher ratios. This ensures personalised attention for each child, fostering stronger bonds and a more individualised learning experience.
Community and Culture: Community involvement is key to our philosophy. We encourage strong connections between the centre, families, and the wider community. Celebrating cultural diversity and promoting inclusive practices are at the core of what we do.
Safety and Wellbeing: The safety and wellbeing of our children are paramount. Our centres are designed with safety in mind, adhering to the highest standards. We are committed to creating a secure and happy environment where children can feel safe to explore and learn.
Join Our Family: At Biggles, we are more than just a early learning centre - we are a family. We invite you to be a part of our supportive and dynamic community, where we work together to provide the best start in life for your child.
