Brainwaves Preschool is a beautiful, boutique early childhood centre in Silverdale, Auckland, licensed for children aged 3 months to 5 years.

At Brainwaves, we believe every child has something special to offer. Children are wonderfully different, with their own interests, strengths, personalities and ways of making sense of the world. Some love words and stories, others are fascinated by numbers, nature or how things work. Some thrive in the company of others, while others express themselves through movement, music, art or imaginative play. We value all these differences, knowing there is no single way to be clever, creative or capable.

Our richly varied programme starts with the belief that children are natural learners. We give them the freedom and encouragement to follow their curiosity, explore their interests and discover what they can do, in their own way and at their own pace.

We want every child to know that they belong, that who they are matters, and that their ideas and abilities are valued. Our teachers take the time to know each child - what lights them up, what sparks their curiosity and what helps them feel safe and confident - to give them the best possible start in life by building confidence, nurturing a love of learning and helping them grow into their own unique selves.
