At Treetops Early Learning Centres, nothing is more important than the safety and wellbeing of the children in our care. As a trusted provider of childcare in Auckland, we’re proud to uphold robust policies and ongoing training that ensure our tamariki are safe, nurtured, and protected every day.
Why Child Protection Matters
Children are naturally vulnerable, and early childhood educators play a vital role in recognising early warning signs when something doesn’t seem quite right. Our Child Protection Policy ensures:
A child’s safety is always our top priority.
Staff are trained and supported to act on concerns confidently and appropriately.
Strong partnerships are maintained with key agencies like Oranga Tamariki and NZ Police.
Clear and consistent processes are followed when responding to suspected harm or neglect.
What This Looks Like at Treetops
Our approach to child protection includes:
Safe recruitment practices to ensure all staff and volunteers are thoroughly vetted.
Ongoing professional development to help staff identify signs of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, as well as neglect.
Daily supervision protocols and regular environment safety checks.
Confidential, timely reporting and collaboration with external support agencies when concerns are raised.
Every team member at Treetops is trained in our Child Protection Policy and understands the importance of open communication, documentation, and working together. Our Centre Managers are our designated child protection officers and respond swiftly and appropriately to any concerns.
Supporting Families Too
At Treetops, we know that great childcare in Auckland involves strong relationships with whānau. That’s why we encourage open conversations with parents, involve families in policy reviews, and provide access to support agencies. Because protecting children is a shared responsibility.
Our Promise to You
Choosing the right centre for your child is a big decision. At Treetops, we want you to feel confident knowing that your child is safe, valued, and cared for.
Our child protection practices are more than just policies – they are part of a centre-wide culture where trust, safety, and wellbeing come first.
