Our Under 2s space is a lovely, calm environment designed to nurture and support your little one. With two dedicated sleep rooms and caring teachers who work closely with whānau, we ensure that the unique needs of each pepe are met. We’re licensed for up to 16 children, offering a warm, personalised experience for every tamariki.

Discover our unique rooms
Our environments are thoughtfully designed, exceptionally resourced and set up with pockets of play and discovery thorughout. Enter through our grand foyer filled with natural light where you will see our admin and a relaxing sitting space for whānau to use. Down the hallway you have a glimpse into all our classrooms, each one designed for a specific age group in mind and as our centre grows, our classrooms will open as per families needs.
Tupu (Seedling)Under 2's
Karamū (Karamū Tree) Over 2's
Named after our local subdivision, this room is currently for children over 2 years old. As our centre grows, we’ll be expanding and eventually transitioning this space into a dedicated 2-year-old room. For now, it offers a wonderful learning environment for tamariki as they explore and grow.
We also offer the Set for School programme in this space, designed to help children build the skills and confidence they need to transition smoothly into school life. This programme focuses on developing social, emotional, and practical skills to set your child up for success in the years ahead.

Not yet opened.
Korimako (Bellbird that eats the Kueo berries)Not Yet Open - Over 4's
This will eventually likely be a space for our oldest tamariki who are getting ready for school but we may follow whānau needs on this.
