About Our Care
We see children as capable and confident individuals. So our care and learning program is designed to encourage them in their natural development, with love and respect as core values within our centre community. Focusing on social emotional and foundational skills, we aim to provide tamariki with opportunities to discover, strengthen and extend their abilities. We are intentional about fostering strong, reciprocal, and trusting relationships because we understand whanaungatanga is the foundation for providing safe loving care and education. With a team of long-serving Kaiako to provide stability and continuity of care, our centre is noted for families returning with their younger children because of close connection with whānau.
Our three rooms offer age-appropriate activities throughout the day, designed to meet the needs of infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. We work in partnership to meet whānau aspirations, where your child can feel empowered to make friends and embark on new adventures.
We understand that families have different childcare needs, and we would love to discuss them with you. This enables us to provide a tailored approach to your child’s care, learning and fees, to support their growth. We are confident your family will find Kindercare Greenhithe to be a home away from home, and where your child can thrive in their early years.
