St Clair, Dunedin

Preschool & Infant Toddler

Surrounded by mature trees that offer a natural source of shade, Bear Park's latest early childhood centre is nestled in a quiet residential street in the popular sea side suburb of St Clair.

Particular care has been taken with the design of this Centre so as to ensure that the orginal home and garden have been respected and that the special features of this property have been incorperated.

For example, the sundial which links back to 1932 when the Coull Family built the house, has been carefully looked after and is now reinstated into the outside garden play area.

Bear Park values the importance of the environment and so has taken extreme care to create intimate spaces for children to be engaged in various learning situations. Also there are areas where the children’s expressive languages can be enhanced and where children have the opportunity to try out their ideas with the support of experienced qualified teachers.

At Bear Park St Clair we are keen to develop our own unique identity and so with the children's, parents' and teachers voices we look forward to collaboratively creating and building this identity.

Bear Park St Clair opened its doors at the end of May 2011 and we look forward to warmly welcoming you to our special place.
