Welcome to

Rhyme and Reason

At Rhyme and Reason, every day is treated as a new opportunity to connect, grow, and build on the immense curiosity that will create a life-long love of learning.

We believe that every person is unique, with something valuable to offer. We guide children in uncovering their unique strengths, and in turn, they’re constantly teaching us.

You’ll feel it when you visit. There’s something wonderfully different about Rhyme and Reason.

You'll notice it the moment you walk in the door. Whilst respecting the past, we’ve developed the traditional model of childcare into a more holistic approach, encompassing care, education, inspiration, and connection. It’s a home away from home and a supportive community for you and your family.

Our Philosophy

At Rhyme and Reason, our tamariki are inspired to grow and become competent and confident learners. We embrace the values of aroha, peace, respect, collaboration, and independence.

Our homely environment encompasses the best of both worlds. We strive to foster strong links between home, and our centre, which is right at the heart of our local and caring community. We enjoy spontaneous adventures around our surrounding neighbourhood so that our tamariki discover and learn an appreciation for their wider community.

As kaiako we empower and support our children to learn to work within boundaries and expectations. Through empowerment and praise our children feel happy and comfortable, allowing them to make choices which makes them feel independent, build resilience, self-respect and respect for others. Our three specialised classrooms encourage diversity of interests and abilities and offer the freedom to take chances and risks.
