OUR CHRISTCHURCH CENTRE

At Co Kids, we have incorporated elements of the Emmi Pikler and RIE theories into developing a teaching philosophy based on respectful education and care practices.

Our vegetable garden provides a unique opportunity for children to contribute to our nutritious, sugar-free menu, fostering a sense of community and responsibility as they grow and gather seasonal vegetables to help our onsite chef.

Our dedicated Babies Room, as well as outdoor area, provides a nurturing and secure environment, specifically designed for our youngest learners. Located in a separate area, these spaces offer a gentle and gradual transition to our preschool program. By having a separate space, we can tailor our care and activities to meet the unique needs of our babies, from crawling and walking to exploring and discovering. This separate room also ensures their safety as they learn to navigate their surroundings and develop their motor skills.
