For happy confident learners
Early Years Nevis, is centrally located in the heart of
Petone, close to public transport and the motorway. Our talented teachers wrote
this poem to describe the many learning
opportunities for children at their centre on any one
day.
Ferries,
trains, trucks and cars,
Learn
about friendship, investigate Mars,
See
a gull, watch a plane,
Room
to play, despite the rain
Build
a volcano, make it explode,
Drive
a digger, shift a load!
Dance
and sing, join a game,
No
two days are just the same.
Read
a story, take a walk,
Share
a meal, sit and talk,
Time
to be busy, space to be free,
So
come play at Nevis, where learning is key!

Parent Voices:
"Early Years
....it was hard having to make the decision to pull him out while
we go down to one wage for a while but he will definitely be back!
During his time with you he has grown and learnt so much, we can't
begin to express our gratitude to you all for your genuine kindness to
him and your commitment to his learning and growing - sending him to you
is the best investment we ever made.

"We moved to Early Years when I
was going back to work after having my second daughter. From the moment we went
to view Early Years in Nevis we were very
impressed. Not only with the fantastic facilities but the teaching staff as
well. Our girls love going to 'school' and come home at the end of each day and
tell us all about their days. They have been at Early Years for a short 7
months but it feels like a lifetime with the friendships they have formed.
As parents we worry about how our children will adapt but Nevis St made that
easy on us with the love and care they have shown our
daughters. I have no hesitation in recommending Early Years Nevis St.
It will be a sad day when our girls leave Nevis St and head to school." - February 2012
"Our daughter has thrived at Early Years
Nevis Street. The Teachers/Caregivers are fantastic. They cater for not only
the needs of the children but also are friendly and approachable for parents
Being a parent to a single child is hard
but very rewarding. Early Years has
helped teach my daughter about socialising and sharing with other
children. (She has also met some lovely
new friends)." - February 2012
