Rainbow Corner Early Learning Centre Information

"While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about." Rainbow Corner Early Learning Centres provide complete childcare solutions, from centre-based to home-based care and even holiday programmes. For many years we've owned and operated multiple childcare centres in New Zealand and overseas, so we understand the challenges you face in choosing the right care for your children. The Rainbow Corner is committed to the Rights of the Child and partners with parents, children, staff and the communities we serve to make a difference in the lives of children in New Zealand. Through collaboration, and in keeping with the Rainbow Corner values, we build partnerships with families and the community to create opportunities in which children are listened to, respected, mentored and challenged, so that they can be local, national and global citizens. The philosophy of our Early Learning Centres recognise the importance of the Rights of the Child, and allows us to focus on the holistic development of the child, through reflective practices. Our philosophy and practices are informed by philosophers and pedagogy of Reggio Emilia, Rudolf Steiner, Maria Montessori and the International Baccalaureate that, as well as Te Whariki - the New Zealand curriculum framework for Under 5 years, as well as our own experience, observations and interactions. We pride ourselves on understanding the rights and needs of our community and providing high-quality education and care to children and their families. The colours of Rainbow Corner have spread all over New Zealand. With numerous centres in and around Auckland, we recently expanded nationwide. We welcome all our new centres to the Rainbow Corner family. Some of the new Rainbow Corner ELCs are located in: Queenstown, Botany, Onehunga, Manurewa, Blenheim, Hamilton, Invercargill, and Bethlehem. The Rainbow Corner is the first New Zealand Pre-School to get the ‘FernMark’ approval.
