We have nothing but great things to say about this center. We can't thank all the team enough for how kind and welcoming they have been to our family. Our children go in with smiles everyday, when we pick them up we hear nothing but great things they have done that day. When any of our children have needed extra help with anything, they have been right there to help them along the way. You can see how much love is poured into the center. You truly feel like your leaving your children in a safe happy place. I would recommend this center to anyone. You will have true peace of mind knowing how well your kids are cared for and how much amazing educational things they do with them in the best fun ways.

My daughter started here this year as a 4-year-old after attending kōhanga reo, and the transition has been really positive. Kaiako here have been kind, patient, and supportive in helping her settle in. She feels comfortable as I can drop her off and there are no tears or tantrums, and it’s been lovely to see her confidence growing already. She really enjoys Art- painting, drawing and scissors, and it’s ALWAYS available. She has also made new friends easily. The kaiako and tamariki have created an environment that ensures every tamaiti feels safe and included. Ngā mihi kaiako mā ❤️❤️❤️
