We are a centre that values community involvement and cultural diversity. We endeavour to get tamariki out into the community as much as possible and take regular trips to the local park and library, where we participate in community events such as Matariki. We also teach the importance of taking care of our environment by picking up rubbish in our community.
We have a large backyard providing endless opportunities to explore the natural environment! We are proud of our multi-cultural environment and celebrate the uniqueness of our centre and everyone within it. We are confident that our centre will provide a warm, welcoming, and stimulating environment for your tamaiti to grow and learn. Please don't hesitate to contact us to arrange a visit and see what we have to offer.
