Our Tahi Centre offers an intimate environment for infants and toddlers. We provide a family-orientated atmosphere within an environment that is open, spacious, and very well-resourced. Children are given the opportunity to develop at their own pace in a safe and secure environment where independence is encouraged.

For our infants, their learning and development is supported through close relationships during care moments. Our toddler's learning is encouraged through activities such as play, music, dance, and visual arts. Our Tahi centres have two outdoor areas, providing a safe learning environment for children to explore the natural environment and learn about the world around them whilst developing friendships and social skills.

Rua Centre is our preschool centre where children’s learning is encouraged through play and our fun-filled, stimulating environment allows children to grow and develop a healthy sense of self. We support each child’s social and emotional development so they look forward to learning new things and are ready to participate in group activities, as well as initiate their own learning.

Our modern playground is the ideal backyard for pre-schoolers to explore, offering exciting opportunities to build on children’s learning and physical development. Equipped with swings, climbing equipment, a mud play area, and a productive vegetable garden, children develop the essential knowledge and skills to support them as they prepare for school.
