Gumboots ELC has been providing quality early childhood care and education since January 2006.
In 2015 we achieved a 4 year, "Very Well Placed" ERO review. We have a great reputation in our community.
We are licensed for 70 children and they are split in to 4 rooms.
BOOTIES
Our babies room is set up for the loving and gentle care of six babies with two teachers.
Margit is known as our "baby whisperer" and Amy is very nearly qualified as the same. It is particularly vital that this room is as homelike as possible.
LITTLE BOOTS
This room has up to 16 children and four teachers. They are generally aged from 12 months to 24 months.
Little Boots children have a beautiful indoor and outdoor area that provides great opportunities for exploration no matter what the weather.
JUNIOR BOOTS
Up to 16 children and four teachers keep this room very active & full of fun.
They continue to explore their artistic talents and are developing their fine motor skills. They are connecting more with their bodies and learning what they can do and what they shouldn't do. These children are a wonder to watch grow and learn.
BIG BOOTS
Up to 24 children and three teachers do amazing things in this room.
Parents of these children work with us on their school transition pathway. Various milestones are completed and when a child is ready starter books are given for reading. Getting the foundations skills right first is the most important thing.
GET OUTSIDE
We are on a 21 acre property and love to get out and explore.
Our playground is expansive and well established. We just love being outdoors and exploring our little corner of the world. We go on walks around the property and visit the ponies and the pig. Summer is the best time ever when we sit under the shade of the plum trees in the orchard and eat plums or gather fruit for baking.
