What parents say about us
Kindercare has been a second home for 7 years now and we couldn't be more happier with the love, care and comfort they provide for us and our children. They’ve supported us parents to get through hard times, and accommodating our needs. Knowing this is a safe haven to our children, allows us to do the mahi, with ease.
Marama from Kindercare Tawa
The loving, caring and nurturing team at Kindercare has been a Godsend to our family. Without an extended family in NZ they have become our second family. My daughter has flourished, becoming confident and resilient. It is such a blessing to know that my daughter is so loved, is learning in a fun environment and is becoming confident and resilient.
Assil from Kindercare Flagstaff
I couldn’t ask for a better centre for my child. The premises are lovely, with attention and care taken in the building design selection of toys, activities, outdoor area, sleeping arrangement and activity rooms. It’s so comforting knowing that my son receives nothing but love and care from the team at Kindercare each day.
