Got questions about what to expert for your little ones? Ask us or see the below to see our most commonly asked questions.
1. What age groups do you cater to at Alpha Preschool?
We welcome children aged 0–6 years, with a separate dedicated plan for each child. This includes care for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers in a warm, nurturing environment.
2. What is your learning approach?
Our child-led and play-based curriculum encourages curiosity, promotes confidence, and teaches essential life skills. Each week and activity is built around a central theme, teaching them the basics of maths, language skills, science and more.
We also provide at-home learning programs for our tamariki, designed to promote learning at home without needing any special supplies or learning tools.
3. Do you offer government funding or subsidies?
Yes! Families can claim up to 25% off fees through government funding, making quality early childhood education more accessible. We also offer ECE for up to 6 hours a day or 20 hours a week for 3+ year olds.
4. What are your teacher-to-child ratios?
We maintain small class sizes and only admit 35 students a year, to ensure every child receives individual attention, fostering a close-knit and supportive learning environment.
Our ratios are better than ministry requirements, meaning we have less children to teachers than most other centres
5. Can I book a tour or free trial days?
Absolutely! We offer two free trial days so you can experience our preschool environment firsthand. Contact us to book a visit!
6. Do you have spare diapers on the premise?
Yes, we have spare diapers and other emergency supplies available.
7. Do you have a dedicated sleep room for the babies?
Yes, we have a dedicated nursery and sleep room, as well as regular sleep routines depending on nga tamariki age.
8. Do you have a primary care teacher?
Yes, we have designated care teachers, depending on the age range of your child, to ensure personal care and development.
9. Are children allowed to bring cake on their birthday?
Most definitely! We celebrate every child's birthday with a cake and some songs of their choosing.
You will have to tell us the ingredients in case of allergies.
10. What is your staff turnover like?
We have a low staff turnover, with our oldest staff member having joined us for two decades! Our shortest stay — 5 years.
11. Do you have free play?
Yes, we offer free play time alongside our regular structured lessons.
