Tūāpapa Ako

2-3 Years

Growing Independence & Discovery

A happy child enjoys outdoor play at a preschool and daycare centre, developing early childhood skills through active learning.
The yellow triangle represents Tūāpapa Ako (Age 2-3), an interactive space at Oxford Early Learning Centre where play is learning.

An interactive environment with a spacious indoor and outdoor flow that fosters our philosophy of "play is learning".

The programme provides a good balance of free play and structured group times. The environment promotes play as values and meaningful learning and values the importance of an emergent curriculum.

Children develop their own working theories as they explore an environment enriched in natural resources and opportunities while learning alongside trained teachers.
