We do Quality Care
We provide a comfortable environment, designed to stimulate and amuse your growing child. We aim to ease and promote their development. Our experienced Educators are trained, dedicated and passionate about children’s well-being.
All Educators engage in ongoing learning and are supported by trained registered teachers. Not only do they have different experiences and qualifications but are also required to meet all of the Ministry of Education regulations and are individually police vetted, the referee checked, and hold a young children’s First Aid Certificate.
We are dedicated to growing little minds in a home environment and making a difference every day.
Children in our service aged three to six (not yet enrolled at school) are eligible for the 20 hours of ECE government subsidy.
Benefits of In-Home Childcare
- Site visit to allow you to familiar yourself with our Educator and allow your child to get ready to grow and learn in a safe, warm and personalised home environment that fits your child’s needs and routine.
- Unlike any daycare centre, our Educators will take only up to 4 children at any time, which means your child will have more attention from our Educator.
- As less number of children, not only Educator can spend more time with your child, but also give you more real-time updates regarding your child’s current situation.
- More flexible hours. Baby Kingdom’s Educators come with various open and close hours, so no more rushing through the traffic and worrying about closing the facility.
- Baby Kingdoms uses a ClassDojo application that allows parents to get live updates about what’s going on throughout the day with their child, as well as interact and give feedback to Educators.
- Detailed monthly assessments for a better understanding of your child’s growth and development.

The Process of Settleing
By following these simple tips, you will be pleasantly surprised at how quickly your child will adapt and look forward to their time at home based education.
SITE VISIT
Before your child’s official start date, it is a good idea to do a couple of visits to familiar both yourself and your child with the Educator’s home environment. The Educator will welcome you, show you around, and explain their routines and what you can expect.
JOINT ACTIVITY
Your child may wish to watch, or they may be keen to join an activity straight away. Let your child get a sense for the new
surroundings and go at their pace as they feel comfort.
SAYING GOODBYE
It is important to be honest with your child and tell them goodbye and that you are leaving but you will be back later to pick them up. There may be a few tears, but often when parents are out of sight children will happily settle into an activity and start their day (don’t look back).
BE POSITIVE
Children can sense this and this can increase their anxiety. Try to encourage your child to look forward to their day and the fun they will have.
EARLY PICK UP
On the first few days, we recommend new families/whānau consider an earlier pickup time as this is when new children can become anxious. Feel free to text or phone the Educator during the day to find out how your child doing.
