Here at Little Wonders Oamaru, we perfectly reflect our wider community, is spacious, beautifully set out and equipped with resources to inspire children’s learning. We are proud of our well-considered curriculum, and a team of qualified and experienced teachers who love what they do.

We believe our environment, influenced by the Reggio Emilia philosophy, empowers our ākonga to feel protected, calm, safe and secure while fostering a platform for movement, fun, curiosity, discovery, risk taking, and growth. We recognise the value of free play as ‘child’s work’ to embed the knowledge and skills for life and inspire a life-long love of learning. We aspire to enhance the mana of every child, and their sense of themselves as an independent, competent, capable learner & communicator. An intriguing Wilderness Garden is a great example to show our commitment to sustainable practice and is a place where curiosity and wonder is enriched.

We encourage continuous growth and ongoing learning for our Kaimahi, Tamariki and whanau through the sharing of knowledge, stories, and wisdom, so they can learn sustainable practices and engage respectfully with Papatūānuku & the wider world. We support participation in an inclusive, welcoming environment where diversity, individuality, respect & resilience are empowered and reflected in our practice and learning community.

We offer special cultural events, family gatherings and work closely with whānau. We would love to welcome someone with a passion for young children’s learning and the ability to plan exciting and engaging activities, who is resilient, has an open to learning mindset and fun, to work alongside a strong, long-standing team.
