I live in Riverhead, West Auckland, with my two children on 3.5 acres. I have worked at Kids at Play since October 2001, and in 2024, I celebrated 30 years—of service in ECE (early childhood education). I am passionate about providing children with a safe, fun, active environment where they can grow and develop the skills they need to be ready for life. I strive to provide an environment that ensures excellent education and care by partnering with families/whanau and educators to raise resilient children. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57e7299bf5e23123e596c1d3/1477699755610-KF1P08UDNYZ07S15ZZH6/louna.jpg Our Staff Louna Iti, Supervisor/Kaiako matua Kia ora. 2024 marked my 24th year in ECE, all of which I have served here at Kids at Play. I have always found working alongside young children very rewarding. Regarding the curriculum and child development, I am most interested in guiding communication and social skills in an environment that encourages children to be confident, capable and curious learners. As part of the teaching team, I aim to provide our learners with a fun, respectful and challenging environment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57e7299bf5e23123e596c1d3/1477700572974-HSZ4DZRZXSHVX88NMDZH/gerlie.jpg Our Staff Gerlie Salcedo, Financial Administrator/Kaiahumoni https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57e7299bf5e23123e596c1d3/1513899521632-TQS03ONFQDC3RKRN87E8/unna.jpg Our Staff Unna Balasubramanian, Full Certificated ECE Teacher/Kaiako https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57e7299bf5e23123e596c1d3/1477700585952-00R5QQAV0SZKPQKWSVYD/anne.jpg Our Staff Anne Robinson, Professional Practice Facilitator/Kaiako rangatira https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57e7299bf5e23123e596c1d3/1614159120822-DQ8SC8AT7YTF2KM4B0BX/Gay%2Bphoto%2B.jpg Our Staff Gay Mallari, Certificated ECE Teacher/Kaiako https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57e7299bf5e23123e596c1d3/a6499b78-6f93-4f52-88ea-1b2a3de483f5/Bobby+IMG_9603.JPG Our Staff Bobby Yu Certificated ECE Teacher/Kaiako https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57e7299bf5e23123e596c1d3/1549923495972-ULMRFEN9PJNBVHHOKSP8/P1010564.jpg Our Staff Katie Prebble, ECE In Training Teacher/Kaiako, Under 2’s Teacher. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57e7299bf5e23123e596c1d3/48868579-0be2-4fce-a0e8-ecba0ccda558/Asuka Our Staff - Make it stand out Asuka Morimoto, ECE Certificated, Under 2’s Head Teacher/Kaiako https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57e7299bf5e23123e596c1d3/7ef1204b-ae1e-4fe4-8f4b-3e6f21313b22/Keilani Our Staff - Make it stand out Keilani Joyce, ECE In Training Teacher/Kaiako https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57e7299bf5e23123e596c1d3/4d13e9a4-006f-479f-895f-541b95577ca8/Jelena Our Staff - Make it stand out Jelena Cook, Full Certificated ECE Teacher/Kaiako https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57e7299bf5e23123e596c1d3/4b4810b1-5009-47b2-82a4-dc700381090a/ria+333608636_711694653837908_28116753484105515_n.jpg Our Staff - Make it stand out Ria Sionetali-Rattry ECE Certificated Under 2’s Teacher/Kaiako (currently on maternity leave) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57e7299bf5e23123e596c1d3/a86558f7-7848-4716-b04c-f89da1f49d75/Mark+2.jpg Our Staff - Make it stand out Mark Louie Maycong ECE in Certificated Teacher/Kaiako https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57e7299bf5e23123e596c1d3/a88f8155-be22-4c90-8449-2f9db4745c8c/Margie Our Staff - Make it stand out Margie Alarcon, ECE Relief Teacher/Kaiako http://www.kidsatplay.org.nz/opening-hours-attendance daily 0.75 2025-06-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57e7299bf5e23123e596c1d3/1477113811906-2I246K1PCRDYUAXGJXJA/kap-playing-with-eb-rabbit2.JPG Opening Hours & Attendance http://www.kidsatplay.org.nz/sickness daily 0.75 2025-06-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57e7299bf5e23123e596c1d3/1477115936802-H0PM0530QD51LSW9YMCC/kap-superheroes-sign.jpg Sickness & Holidays http://www.kidsatplay.org.nz/transition-to-school daily 0.75 2025-06-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57e7299bf5e23123e596c1d3/1477116319027-ZO29KPHIHDCOI56U0XUQ/kap-transitiontoschool-learning.JPG Transition to School http://www.kidsatplay.org.nz/behaviour-policy daily 0.75 2025-06-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57e7299bf5e23123e596c1d3/1477115429903-4HG2WOG2N60GBVLHN5EZ/kap-bear-masks.JPG DEVELOPING SOCIAL COMPETENCE in Children TE WHAKAAHU P<strong>ĀHEKOHEKO TIKA</strong> http://www.kidsatplay.org.nz/parents-responsibilities daily 0.75 2025-06-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57e7299bf5e23123e596c1d3/1477114190007-QJAMNHESM4VZSOO8GPGG/kap-pots-sandpit.JPG Parent’s Responsibilities & Resources http://www.kidsatplay.org.nz/incorporated-society daily 0.75 2024-04-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57e7299bf5e23123e596c1d3/1480110615493-0Y82UIJRN4QG96Z0ZH65/kap-pony-ride.JPG Incorporated Society http://www.kidsatplay.org.nz/fees daily 0.75 2023-09-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57e7299bf5e23123e596c1d3/1477107133769-EGZPNR1IPSCWWML90Z82/kap-painting3.JPG <p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Fees STRUCTURE</p> http://www.kidsatplay.org.nz/testimonials daily 0.75 2016-09-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57e7299bf5e23123e596c1d3/1477122994917-9VSTOA2VBLE2LZOJUM7J/kap-cooking-in-the-boat.JPG Testimonials http://www.kidsatplay.org.nz/centre-programme daily 0.75 2021-04-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57e7299bf5e23123e596c1d3/1480111654610-2T4JNQNU3OMZ2FY9XMJR/kap-painting.JPG Centre Programme http://www.kidsatplay.org.nz/about-us daily 0.75 2024-04-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57e7299bf5e23123e596c1d3/1480114801032-S9PSIGWBSTMG0T45AI3Y/kap-playing-with-eb-rabbit2.JPG About Us
