TAMARIKI/PEPI

The babies

NYPS students have the opportunity to enrol their child/ren at Auckland Point Kindergarten (APK).

The Potiki room is situated right next to the NYPS classroom which allows parents to be available to their childs needs. Babies remain in Potiki until they are around two years old.

Potiki has 2 qualified Early Childhood Educators, one of which becomes the primary carer of the student’s baby while in Potiki. When APK believe the child is ready to move from Potiki, discussions are had with the parent/s regarding transition to Auckland Point Kindergarten.

Full funding for early childhood care is made, with the help of APK and NYPS, through WINZ GCap.
