Sunnynook Preschool Blog, North Shore, Auckland

The Preschool learning environment is primarily based on well-planned learning areas that allow for child choice and self-directed play, small groups, and supportive teaching that prepares children for academic excellence. The transition to school program supports the development of language, mathematical reasoning, scientific thought and is emphasised throughout the Preschool. Changes to the learning environment, activities, and projects reflect emerging interests and individual goals of the children. We offer supported experiences that encompass all the skills and understandings necessary for optimum development and success in school.

Sunnynook Preschool began life in 1973, initially established by the late Marilyn Dickson.

In 2005 the Preschool was handed to new ownership Michelle Pratt (Dip Tch ECE, BECS, Post Graduate Early Childhood Administration and Management). The Preschool at this time was refurbished.

In 2013 Angela Bush (B.Ed, Early Childhood Teaching, Diploma of Teaching (ECE),
Early Childhood Education and Teaching) became the new owner and operator.

The Preschool is a privately owned
and operated facility.
