Early Learning Centre where Love, Learning & Development is Always Happening
At Heart Of Albany, our curriculums, using love as the provocative medium are designed to help children flourish in their own gifted personalities.
Nurturing Your Child To Grow Their Unique Personality
We believe in emergent curriculum, in which we follow the child lead to extend and enrich their strengths, interests, capabilities and to address their developmental areas. We have also been inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach to teaching and learning.

What to Consider When Choosing a Childcare Provider
Most of the daycares provide facilities that cater to child age 3 months till they are school going. Thus, when a child should attend early childhood education, largely depends on your personal circumstances and choices.
Ministry of Education;
Research shows that children who are involved in quality early childhood education (ECE) benefit in many ways, and that these benefits also extend to their family/whānau and the wider community.
Taking part in ECE builds a strong foundation for your child’s ongoing education, learning and development. Children learn lots of new skills by participating in ECE, building on the skills they learn at home and from their families/whānau.
Every child care has a Centre philosophy which highlights it’s core values and further helps design the centre’s learning and teaching programmes. Before deciding on any early childhood education facility, every parent should ask for and check whether the child care provider’s philosophy delivers and matches with their expectations and values.
Before enrolling, a parent has the right and should visit the centre to check the childcare environment for its safety, health/hygiene standards, compliance with ministry regulations. Ask for the details of facilities provided, fees structures, kitchen/meal facilities and staff qualifications. Also in your visit, include time to meet up with the teachers and know of their teaching practices.
