About Us

We pride ourselves on embracing and respecting each and every individual for the value they bring to our centre whanau – including our differences and how meaningful learning and understanding comes from these. Walking through the doors, you will sense the warmth of an environment that is calm and inviting, where children and teachers are engaged in planned and self-directed exploration and discovery, and a sense of belonging is immediately felt.

Our team of passionate, dedicated and fun teachers are committed to developing partnerships with our learning community, and creating memorable learning opportunities and experiences for all. We host and engage in spectacular events and celebrations, finding new and innovative ways to showcase and communicate the learning our children have been engaged in. Parent and whanau input is always welcome and in fact encouraged. The same applies for acknowledging and celebrating our families cultures, which you will find woven throughout our curriculum, meal times and centre tikanga.

Many of our team have received long service certificates of appreciation. We are very proud of this and feel this benefits our vision and growth as a centre and our place within our community. School leavers return to visit familiar faces and revisit memorable moments in their time shared with us.

Come and visit today - this will be the first of many lasting memories you will share with us.
