Love Pukekos Educare in Thames 🙌🌟👭 my Two girls went from 18 mths to 5 years old.. and loved being there. They have a wonderful out doors BIG  garden, huge Sand Pit, established trees & lots of natural places to play and be a child.Being creative & free to explore is very important for our girls and Pukekos gave them this space... lots of art, craft & music ... Our girls still talk about their very happy early Pukekos childhood years, and we still have strong friendships with the teachers & children that shared that special place & time with us. I highly recommend Pukekos to other parents who want their children to enjoy a free play, natural, creative environment. Fiona 🌳🌈🐝🌟

Both my children have been to Pukekos Educare. Best decision I ever made. They both felt cared for like being at home and taught so many amazing things in an amazing environment.  At 6 years old my daughter asked to be four again so she could go back to Pukekos. Pukekoes are always in there  memories and mine.
