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
Tessa Taurere
Head Teacher
Kia Ora,
My name is Tessa Taurere and I am Head Teacher at Glendene Our Kids. I graduated with a Bachelor of Early Childhood Education in 2015, and have been teaching ever since. In this time I have had experience working as an under 2’s kaiako, a Visiting Teacher for a home-based care company, and the last 3-4 years have been in a Head Teacher role.
I have four boys of my own aged from 11-21, and have lived in West Auckland all my life. My passion for ECE began when my own babies went to Kindergarten, and learning about what was valuable to their early years journey.
I have a strong passion for bi-culturalism in Aotearoa, and the implementation of te reo me nga tikanga Maori throughout my teaching practice, as well as promoting the importance of the emotional well-being in our tamariki.
I look forward to building strong relationships with our tamariki and whanau, and providing a learning environment that is fun, safe, and nurturing, to share our many enriching learning experiences in.
