Learning Links – Hector Drive, Hamilton
Our Learning Links Childcare centre in Hamilton is designed to offer opportunities for learning through play while giving your child the support to develop foundational skills.
We believe that our early education service stands out through the commitment to three important early education priorities:
- Learning through play
- Keeping children emotionally healthy
- Educating with a sustainable environment focus
When these education priorities are met, children will naturally flourish.
Our early learning centre in Hamilton is conveniently located at 38 Hector Drive, Rototuna, directly across from Te Totara Primary school.
The childcare center is spacious with an area for babies and a large indoor area for the older children. We also have a nature based outdoor environment that includes challenge courses, sensory areas, and play areas for your child to confidently explore.
At Learning Links child care centre, lunch and snacks are provided. Our on-site cook makes tasty meals like sandwiches and wraps, and you will be delighted to find out that we encourage children to participate in meal preparation. Children can also take part in gardening, plotting, growing, and cooking helping to make the vital link between food and our wellbeing.
Our early childhood education staff can help take you through processes such as nappy changes, or you can grab a coffee in our parents area and experience our Hamilton child care center first hand. With a range of opportunities for children to learn and grow, and a nurturing day care center environment, our team aims to make Learning Links Daycare Centre Hamilton a welcoming home for all.
