We offer nutritious, homecooked meals, and a huge backyard play area for our tamariki. Our spacious centre environment provides nurturing and stimulating areas for young children with its separate nursery and preschool rooms, also offering separate indoor and outdoor areas tailored to each age and stage of learning and development, as well as areas where tamariki can come together to share tuakana-teina (older-younger child) interactions where wonderful teaching moments are shared.
