Footprints Early Learning Centre, Waihi
Welcome to Footprints
Footprints is located near the heart of Waihi town. We are a purpose built centre with a large and varied natural outdoor environment that has been designed to encourage children to connect with nature.
Our centre consists of two spaces.
The 0-2 year olds area - Our Soul Room - Here your toddler will explore the world around them in a natural grassed area, and sandpit haven, complete with water cascade. While your infant will experience plenty of new sights, smells, sounds and tastes safely inside or outside.
The 2-5 year old area - The Heart Room - Here your child will spend much of their day outdoors, exploring and creating in the sandpit, loose parts barked area, mud kitchen, and mini stream. They will create masterpieces with art activities, build in the carpentry area or zoom around on the bikes.
Our Soul Room sits within our Heart Room, so strong connections are maintained between the two spaces.
Our Philosophy
“Learning impressions, lasting for life” is the core belief that the learning and experiences that your child will acquire at Footprints, will benefit them, not only to be ready for school, but to be ready for the rest of their lives.
