### null review (5/5)

It’s not easy graduating home life into Kindergarten, and more so for the Parent, but Central Kids Whitianga makes all members of the family feel comfortable in the transition.
They prioritise not only growing deep connections with the children but also with the parents which makes Central Kids feel like one big family!
The centre is operated with genuine kindness and integrity, is well equipped, and has large indoor and outdoor spaces which encourage play based learning.
We LOVE this Kindy!!

The BEST kindy in all of Mercury Bay!! We love Central Kids so much! The staff feel like a big extension of our family and my kids are obsessed with going to kindy. The play space is so big and the kids get a huge range of activities to do every day. I love how they use te reo with the kids (I learn more by osmosis). I can’t recommend Central Kids Whitianga enough!!
