Unleash Your Wildling's Potential
Discover the magic of Wildling Haven's playgroup sessions, where Bay of Plenty children thrive through nature-based exploration, crafted by experienced ECE teachers.
Leave the home admin behind and embrace the joy of learning together.
Benefits for Your Child
The greatest advantage for children attending our Wildling Haven playgroups is the opportunity to learn alongside their parents in a supportive environment. We encourage children to embrace their "wild side," freeing them from the pressures of a fast-paced life. Here, they can be present, engaged, and truly free to explore their interests, fostering a magical learning experience. A child that is interested is a child that is engaged, this is where the magic of learning happens.
What to Expect as a parent
At Wildling Haven, parents and caregivers are welcomed into a non-judgmental, supportive environment where they can feel safe to play alongside their children and even reconnect with their own inner child.
It’s a space for both adults and little ones to learn, grow, and connect together, while building friendships with others on the same journey. Here, we slow down, stay present, and give one another the gift of time and attention.
Leave the mess with us, and take home cherished, fun-filled memories.
