OUR
PHILOSOPHY
"The objective of our service is, through effective teaching by trained staff and stimulating environments and resources, to improve each child's chances of success and happiness in school and life.
Prodigy Centres provide high quality early childhood education programmes and resources (for children and parents) based on the identification, assessment and promotion of the multiple intelligences and individual proclivities of each child."
We believe children learn and develop in a child-centred environment, where they are happy, challenged, interested and secure. They enjoy themselves by being exposed to a wide range of preschool activities, from warm and caring staff.
Prodigy Preschool Everglade has been providing excellence in learning for children between the ages of 2 - 5, in Manukau City, since 2006. A high quality programme and low teacher ratios ensure that the individual learning needs of the children are identified and catered for.

Shirley Motupalli
"My 10 years of being an early childhood teacher has helped me to grow from strength to strength in understanding children's aspirations and the way they make sense of people and experiences around them. Children have shown me how they can make a pathway to new heights of exploration through their activities and the discussions I have with them, I enjoy being with children and creating opportunities that will allow me to be part of their magnificent world of imagination, creativity and the rich environment filled with innocence, fun and excitement."
Shirley was appointed as our new Supervisor in October 2014. Shirley recently moved, with her husband and 2 sons, to Papakura from Waitakere, leaving her role as Centre Manager from a similarly sized Kindergarten in Glen Eden, where she has been since 2011. She also has a further 6 years prior experience as a Supervisor and a total of 10 years working as an ECE teacher in New Zealand. With a MA from India and a Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood) from Auckland University, Shirley is a fully registered teacher.
