A Research Portrait of Greerton Early Learning Centre: Infant and Toddler Centre, Emmett Street, Greerton, Tauranga
McChesney, Katrina
Early Childhood Folio, v24 n2 p35-37 2020
Greerton Early Learning Centre (GELC), is a privately owned full-day early childhood centre in Tauranga, New Zealand. GELC was operated in two centres on neighbouring streets: an infant and toddler centre (licensed for 30 children) and an older children's centre (licensed for 40 children). After two decades operating in repurposed residential houses, the infant and toddler centre was closed in 2017. The two centres were combined in the older children's site to allow a new, purpose-built facility to be constructed on the old infant and toddler site. This portrait was written by Katrina McChesney to celebrate and preserve the collective memories of that space. It was presented as a gift to the Greerton Early Learning Centre community. [For further information about this portrait, see "Space Speaks: A Portrait of an Early Childhood Centre and the Affordances Provided by the Learning Environment" (EJ1278090).]
