our purpose
At Kiwi Kids, we believe early childhood is where foundations are laid for life. We create a safe, loving, and inspiring space for children to grow, explore, and discover. From nurturing care for infants to enriching learning for preschoolers, our center is designed to support every stage of development with heart, purpose, and play.
about us
Growing Together with Purpose and Passion
Kiwi Kids is more than a childcare centre – it's a community. We're a team of passionate educators who care deeply about every child's wellbeing, growth, and happiness. Our philosophy centers on respect, responsiveness, and relationships. We follow a child-led approach inspired by Te Whāriki, New Zealand’s early childhood curriculum, and embrace the principles of partnership, protection, and participation.
We value the uniqueness of each child and work alongside whānau to create a space where children feel seen, heard, and empowered.
nutritious meals
Healthy Bodies, Happy Minds
At Kiwi Kids, we fuel little bodies with big energy. Our in-house meals are cooked fresh daily using seasonal, locally-sourced ingredients. We offer:
Wholesome breakfasts, lunches, and snacks
Balanced menus with fruit, veggies, whole grains, and lean proteins
Meals that cater to allergies and cultural preferences
We teach children about food in fun, positive ways – encouraging them to try new things, eat independently, and understand what nourishes them.

our philosophy
Child-led. Relationship-driven. Grounded in Aroha.
At Kiwi Kids, we believe:
Every child is unique and has the right to be respected
Learning happens through relationships, play, and exploration
Whānau are essential partners in a child’s learning journey
A culturally inclusive environment enriches all children
We value manaakitanga (care), whanaungatanga (relationships), and ako (reciprocal learning). Our centre is a place where every child feels loved, capable, and deeply valued.
Our Preschool is committed to keeping all channels of communication open by sending families regular updates and pictures of their children, holding family conferences and creating engaging family and community events to establish strong connections between the school and the home.
Every Great Journey Starts Small.
