Avondale
Alaina Olliver - District Manager
Kia ora! I have worked for Junior Junction since 2008. Over the years I have built strong bonds with our growing community of families and caregivers. As a qualified ECE professional I am passionate about giving our children the very best start for the road ahead.I was born in Auckland and grew up in Avondale on Canal Road before moving when my brother was born. My passion is educating children in their formative years by providing a nurturing environment where learning can thrive. The excitement on a child’s face when they have learned a new skill is priceless and I love being a part of this.
I enjoy family time. My partner and step daughter like bush walks with our Border Collie named Camo. She has two different coloured eyes and has the camouflage markings on her so we think she suits her name. Where I live we get friendly Tui’s and Lorikeet’s having lunch with us on the weekends on our deck along with our cats and mini lop bunnies. I look forward to welcoming you and your children to our Junior Junction family!
Parents and whanau are welcome to visit our beautiful, well equipped facilities and experience our family friendly environment first-hand. See how each child brings their own individual interests and culture to their learning! Our specialist transition programme for new children incorporates multiple visits to ensure your child is happy and settled.
Our Avondale centre incorporates guided free-play in our educational programmes that are individualised to meet each age group and personal interest. Your child can stay part of the Junior Junction family from babyhood though to the toddler room, then to preschool where we help prepare our 4 year olds for their transition to school.
If you are a new parent returning to work you’ll love our two baby play areas – one for younger, non walking children and the other for our slightly older children. You will feel secure that your child is receiving the best specialist care from our qualified teachers.
