Kidiwise Preschool and Childcare

My son has been going to kidiwise since he was 4 months old and the last 2 years have been with them have been nothing short of incredible. We visited while I was pregnant and earmarked our place before my son was even born. The fact that each age group has its own house with seperate areas, not just a room, is amazing. The size of the outdoor space is second to none and my bulldozer of a toddler has thrived with all the open ended play and natural resources. His confidence and curiosity grow by the day and I cannot be more proud of the little man he is growing into. Kidiwise have a huge part to play in this as they help shape and guide him through these formative years. The team recognize and foster his interests including letting him sit in the bobcat with Bree when the playground in the nestling room was being renovated. The photo of him in the bobcat is one I will cherish forever. This is only one example of the many where the team have gone above and beyond with nurturing his interests. It is so hard to decide who to trust to look after your child but not once have I ever regretted entrusting kidiwise with my boy. We value outdoor and open ended activities with semi formal structure and kidiwise excel at these. Don't even get me started on the spa, turtle, chickens and pony 😅 Can I enrol here for myself to attend? Asking for a friend of course.

So happy that we moved our son here and our only regret is that we didn't know about Kidiwise when we first moved to Tauranga. Our son is thriving in this outstanding daycare centre; there is so much for him to do in the huge outdoor spaces. We are a huge fan of the each room's curriculum time which provides structure & routine for our 4yo. Pony rides, spa pool, a dedicated science space and bush walk area, animals to care for...the list goes on. The teachers are amazing too & go the extra mile. We will be sad to leave this wonderful environment when it's tone for big school.

Both my children absolutely love Kidiwise. The teachers are amazing and care so much about the kids. The cherry on top is all the lovely regular activities that Kidiwise offers - including spa pool, community walks, bush walks and pony rides. The resident chickens are a firm favourite with my one-year-old. Kidiwise is a top class ECE!
