Kia ora

Ko Ajah taku ingoa, he uri ahau no Ngapuhi, I tipu ake ai ki Rotorua. Kei Tamaki ahau e noho ana, a e mahi ana ahau ki Lollipops Browns Bay. My name is Ajah, I am a descendant from Ngapuhi and grew up in Rotorua. I now live in Auckand and work at Lollipops Browns Bay.

I’ve worked in the sector for close to seven years now. I discovered my passion for ECE whilst raising my own children, now teenagers. Having dreamed aloud many times with my Whanau of the perfect place for children, it was a highlight in my career when the opportunity for me to manage the centre arose.

This has led to an intense time of creation, learning and growing and I consider myself very privileged indeed to be a part of the lives of the children here at Lollipops Browns Bay.

Our Centre

About Lollipops Brown's Bay

At Lollipops Browns Bay, we focus on helping children grow in confidence, creativity, and independence. Our teaching is guided by the Reggio Emilia approach, ensuring that every child’s learning journey is supported and celebrated.

Our centre provides a welcoming, vibrant space where children are encouraged to explore, learn, and develop at their own pace. With a strong emphasis on outdoor play, cultural diversity, and community involvement, we create a holistic environment for your child to thrive.

We offer a range of exciting learning experiences tailored to different age groups, including regular excursions to local spots like Browns Bay Beach, East Coast Bays Library, and Freyberg Park. Our programme is designed to meet the needs of infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, with learning experiences that grow with each stage of development.
