Child Care
The YMCA BIshopdale Childcare Centre is a purpose built, fully licensed and registered pre-school centre. We opened late November 2006 and provide a balanced mix of structured and free play learning experiences for your child.
We aim to provide an enriching, open, loving and learning environment which encourages children to work alongside their peers. We offer a Perceptual Motor Programme (PMP) that focuses on enhancing the children's gross motor development - this is scheduled weekly on a Tuesday.
Our programme incorporates the principles of Te Whaariki - the Early Childhood Curriculum which focuses on the individual child and the relationships they form with people around them. Staff to child ratios are in accordance with the standards set by the Ministry of Education. In most cases they will exceed these requirements.
The YMCA values are: Respect, Honesty, Caring and Responsibility.
We are open Monday - Friday 7.30am to 5.30pm.
Contact the Bishopdale YMCA for information on full and part time spaces.
