FIRST CLASS EDUCATION AND CARE
Meet Our Amazing Teachers | First Class Education and Care
Our Teachers Are Caring and Enthusiastic.
We choose teachers who genuinely love working with children, who consider teaching to be a calling or vocation, not just a job. Our teachers cultivate a sense of belonging and security with your child by building a quality relationship with them.
We Maintain High Teacher to Child Ratios.
The Ministry of Education stipulates that each centre must have a ratio of 1 teacher to every 10 children for children over 2 years old. We manage our teacher numbers in our childcare centre to ensure that we exceed this minimum requirement. This ensures your child doesn’t get ‘lost in the crowd’, but is seen, heard, noticed and known by our teachers.
We Have a High Level of Qualified and Experienced Teachers.
We are committed to having qualified and registered teachers running our learning programme in our centre at all times. Our teaching philosophy is clearly articulated and embodied by our generous and caring team.
We have developed a culture of excellence in our teaching team by hiring quality teachers to begin with and then creating strong professional development and mentoring opportunities for them.
Several of our teachers gained their qualification at Bethlehem Tertiary Institute, whose programme incorporates Christian perspectives. Their teaching approach is deeply rooted in the transformational values, which create the special environment in Bethlehem Early Learning Centres that children thrive in.
“The care we receive, as a family is very personalised. We are not just a ‘number’ but are treated as part of the family. My girls are always excited to go and we have tears when it’s not a kindy day!” EMMA WILLIAMS
FIRST CLASS EDUCATION AND CARE, ERO REPORT 2015
Relationships between teachers and children are respectful and responsive to children’s need for education and care. Teachers have well-developed strategies to ensure daily care routines are used to promote meaningful learning.
First Class Education and Care
The programme for babies and toddlers is based on nurturing and responsive interactions, sensitively managed care routines, and ongoing communication with these young children.
First Class Education and Care
There are many opportunities for children to be creative, which are supported by teachers and used in a highly effective way to promote children’s success and development.

I just love the way each child’s journey is cherished, respected and nurtured. Teachers are always available to talk through any concerns a parent has whilst taking the time to ensure the children’s little voices are heard as well.
