GLENDENE DAYCARE AND EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION
Our Glendene childcare centre is located in a residential area close to Glendene Primary School—a quiet and peaceful location for children to learn, grow, and develop naturally. The interior of the centre is a warm, comfortable environment, conveying a sense of calm. Children’s artwork, their photos, and plants are used to decorate the setting as children engage in various learning experiences and build strong relationships in a relaxed and productive manner. Learn more about the care and education we cultivate at Our Kids daycare in Glendene below.
ALL DAY MIXED-AGE CHILDCARE IN GLENDENE
Our Kids Early Learning Centre is a small and homely all-day mixed aged centre providing quality care and education for children aged between 6 months and 5 years. Our teachers create respectful and caring relationships with the children while maintaining close relationships with their family/whānau. Teachers are also confident in supporting the development, well-being, and belonging of children under two years old. They engage in meaningful interactions with infants and toddlers and give enough space and possibilities for free movement.
INDOOR-OUTDOOR FLOW FOR LEARNING
We here at Our Kids believe that learning opportunities are found both indoors and outdoors. That’s why we’ve assembled an early learning centre that carefully balances both.
The outside environment at Our Kids Glendene provides plenty of exploration zones. Your kids will discover a large sandpit covered by a shade-sail, a beautiful stream fed by a rain-water pump, landscaped planting, vegetable garden, a whare area, a variety of outdoor equipment for physical exercise, and challenge including swings, as well as a new large platform area with a slide.

GLENDENE STAFF
Sarah O'Regan
Head Teacher
Kia ora koutau, my name is Sarah O’Regan and I graduated from The New Zealand Career College with a Bachelor of Teaching (ECE) in early 2019, however I have been working here at Our Kids Early Learning Centre Glendene for over 5 years. From a very young age I have had a passion for working alongside young children, and my interest in pursuing this career was truly reinforced after the birth of my own two children.
I am extremely passionate about teaching within a mixed age setting as I strongly believe that the meaningful interactions between younger and older children provide many different social, cognitive, physical and emotional learning experiences, which can be particularly beneficial for children of both ages.
I also strongly believe it is fundamental to work in partnership with parents and whanau, acknowledging their cultural values, needs and aspirations, in order to achieve the best possible care and education for their children. My personal philosophy is based on love, kindness and compassion and I strive to provide a learning environment that allows children to feel safe, secure and loved, knowing that they are a valued member of the Our Kids Whanau.
Rochelle Cole
Assistant Head Teacher
I graduated from Auckland University with a Bachelor of Education in Primary / Intermediate teaching. I absolutely love working with children of all ages and I believe in exploring and enhancing students’ curiosity and personal interests in safe and creative environments, where all voices, perspectives, interests, and values are acknowledged and celebrated, and where children can safely take risks, make mistakes, and learn from them.
To me, childcare is all about preparing children for encounters when they start school in terms of intrapersonal / interpersonal relationships, enthusiasm and curiosity towards learning. I am creative and have many passions and interests such as sports, social science, music, dance, drama, reading, art and writing. Oh, and I also love to socialise!
“I absolutely love working with children of all ages and I believe in exploring and enhancing students’ curiosity.”
