Little Scientists run a science-based school holiday programme in Auckland for children aged 5-10 years old, from Hillsborough Playcentre at 21 Currie Ave in Auckland.
How long is each School Holiday sessions?
At Hillsborough, each school holiday programme session is 6 hours, beginning at 9.00am and finishing at 3.00pm, Monday - Friday.
Is lunch included in the School Holiday Programmes?
Children need to bring their own healthy lunch. We all sit together for morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea.
How many teachers do you have at the Holiday Programmes?
Our adult:child ratio is 1:10. All our facilitators are passionate about Science and bring lots of interesting and diverse skills to our programme. Our programme is closely connected to NZ Playcentre and their philosophy around learning through play. Each session is set up to enable student-centered experiential learning supported by our Facilitators and we always have enough equipment for each child to be able to work together at the same time.
What do children do at Little Scientists School Holiday Programmes?
Little Scientists offer a wide range of age-based science activities, such as propulsion with rockets, acids and bases, electronics, weather, crystals, space, food science, magnets, bubbles…the list goes on! If your child has a particular interest, we are happy to try and incorporate this into one of our science sessions, so please let us know.
What do people say about Little Scientists?
Olivia loves this place so much, that when I offered to take a day off work to spend with her during the holidays, she rejected me so that she could go to Little Scientists instead.
