The centre is whanau oriented regardless of your nationality our kids are priority and taught with aroha and respect the teachers are great here, Emma jane being the team leader you couldn't ask for any better my son started here at 2 yrs old fresh from the Gold coast welcomed with arms opened wide and has thrived in to a little genius (know it all) 😄 he is now 4. This centre has a great whanau support an insight on how to ensure your child gets the best out of thier education Beautiful vege garden which is for the whanau to help them self's with the hopes you pull a few weeds out as you take, it is very community based and thrive off looking after papatuanuku. Very free range our kids are open to explore outside sunshine or rain. It is not the fanciest but its doable i recommend it as my son has enjoyed his time here and I have enjoyed watching him grow into the Lil man that he has become. With the support from the teachers and whanau members this is a awesome centre.
