At Zaadje learning begins with play.

We introduce essential skills through play-based child-led learning. A place to explore curiosity, confidence and genuine love for lifelong learning. We see the whole child feeling safe, seen and supported. Emotional well-being is at the heart of everything we do at Zaadje. Our Tamariki connect with nature through hands-on learning and outdoor exploration.
