About Us

Kia ora,

My name is Nelunika and I am deeply grateful to God for planting the seed in my heart and the opportunity to build Little Blessings Early Learning Centre from ground up.

As the owner of Little Blessings, my vision is deeply personal. As a mother of two boys, I understand the profound responsibility and joy that comes with raising children. I truly believe that every child is a blessing—a unique gift to be loved, nurtured, and respected.

My commitment to early childhood education is grounded in the following core principles:

• Faith-Filled Foundation: Our centre is built on Christian values, where virtues like kindness, compassion, and humility form the basis of how we relate to one another and care for our world.
• Holistic Learning: Guided by Te Whāriki, New Zealand's early childhood curriculum, we focus on the holistic development of every child—flourishing in mind, body, and spirit.
• Inspired Pedagogy: We blend the Reggio Emilia approach with play-based learning to foster curiosity and creativity. I see the environment as a "third teacher," where children are empowered to explore and lead their own learning through hands-on discovery.
• Nurturing Environment: Above all, I strive to provide a safe, inclusive, and empowering space where every child is celebrated for who they are.

I look forward to welcoming your family into our community and partnering with you to support your child’s unique journey.
