At NURTURE we believe that young children are best cared for in a 'home like' environment. Research is showing more and more evidence that rich, loving relationships are crucial for children's brain development and well being.
We believe that children benefit by being with a Nanny or In-Home Educator who is committed to their well being, who can provide plenty of 'one of one' attention, and can provide rich learning experiences.
We are owned by a charitable trust who believes that the family is a building block for the wider community. The trust supports our work in strengthening the fabric of the family by educating children in a "family – like" way.
Here are some reasons why our Families have chosen Nurture:
-
Waikato Multiple Birth Specialists.
-
Monthly visits by our Mentoring Teachers to each Home Educator/Nannies.
-
Our Mentoring Teacher Team sets up and facilitates monthly gatherings which allow your children to mix with larger groups of children.
- WORK AND INCOME subsidies are available for many families.
- Ongoing training for our Home Educator/Nanny team by our Mentoring Teachers.
- Possible IRD Tax refund for childcare payments.
- All premises used for In-Home childcare and Nanny support are checked against a criteria established by the Ministry of Education based on children's safety.
- 20 free ECE hours for 3-4 year olds.
- NURTURE's resource subsidy.
- All of our Home Educators are first aid trained and re-certified every two years.
- We LOVE what we do and count it a privilege to serve and support families in our community with professional excellence.
