Meet our Centre Manager
Kia ora
My name is Emma Borman, and I’m proud to be the Centre Manager at Lollipops Napier Port. I joined the Lollipops whānau in July 2022 as Team Leader of the Tuakana room, and I feel incredibly lucky to work alongside such a passionate and caring team of teachers.
Originally from the Kāpiti Coast, I’ve called Napier home for the past four and a half years and absolutely love it here. I’m also a proud mum to two beautiful children, aged 13 and 19, who have been a big inspiration behind my journey into Early Childhood Education.
I’ve worked in the ECE sector for 16 years, with the last 11 as a qualified teacher. This field is truly my passion. I love that each day brings new adventures, laughter, and learning. Most of all, I value the joy, curiosity, and wisdom our tamariki bring. I learn just as much from them as they do from me!
What makes us special
About Lollipops Napier Port
At Lollipops Napier Port, we focus on supporting your child’s physical, emotional, and social growth through fun, hands-on learning experiences. Our special "Taha Tinana" space encourages physical activity, while our "Tuakana" dining area helps children develop independence and essential self-help skills.
Our purpose-built centre flows naturally between indoor and outdoor spaces, providing the perfect setting for active and imaginative play. The large outdoor area is ideal for sensory and messy play, while inside, there are quiet zones where children can explore their creativity and reflect.
We cater to different age groups, from infants to preschoolers, with a variety of learning experiences and rhythms tailored to their developmental needs. Whether it’s through weekly physical sessions or celebrating cultural events like Matariki, we ensure every child’s learning journey is enriching and fun.
