Nau Mai,
At Kindercare Wigram Skies, we emphasise the importance of social and emotional development in tamariki. We want children to know that their emotional needs will always be recognised, met, and supported.
My team and I are dedicated to integrating opportunities for self-development into our curriculum. We encourage inquiry, creativity, and problem-solving skills, fostering an environment that sparks curiosity and allows tamariki to take risks in their learning within a safe space. Our team believes in being active learners alongside the children, embarking on an exciting journey of discovery and growth together.
We truly value the relationships we build with our families because we understand the important role that parents play in their child’s development, and we strive to work in partnership with you. By involving whānau in our program, and embracing each family’s cultural diversity, we create a vibrant and inclusive community where everyone feels welcomed and valued.
Thank you for considering our centre for your child’s care and early learning; we understand it’s a significant decision. Together, let us nurture a strong foundation, ignite a passion for learning, and build a positive future for your child. So visit our centre and experience the Kindercare difference before you decide on where to enrol your child in these early childhood years.
Ngā manaakitanga,

Why Choose Our Centre
Child-led learning & agency
We believe children can be active participants and are incredibly capable of creating their own learning journey so we mindfully learn with them, rather than teach to them.
Values-driven culture
In addition to keeping each child safe, loved and learning, we deeply value mana atua or well-being, whanaugnatanga and manaakitanga—showing respect to others.
Large outdoor & natural spaces
Our outdoor spaces are beautifully large, providing lots of space for imaginative play, building friendships, and to challenge learning through movement.
Generous annual leave
Our Annual Leave Policy eases the pressure on families during those times when your child is sick, or away from the centre on holiday.
Nourishing food provided
Lunch, morning and afternoon tea for healthy, growing minds and active bodies.
Flexible hours
Choose full or part-time enrolment to suit your needs.

About Our Care
Childcare at our centre is designed to meet whānau aspirations and the needs of each child, with age-appropriate activities for infants, toddlers and preschoolers throughout their day.
Each of our rooms are thoughtfully designed to nurture and support your children’s development. We have created areas such as family corners, dress-ups, books, construction resources, and science tables, all aimed at providing engaging experiences for your child. Through these activities and guided by our team of experienced Teachers, tamariki have the freedom to explore and choose activities that capture their interest.
In addition to the joy of play, these experiences also contribute to important developmental skills. By engaging in sensory awareness activities, spatial awareness exploration, pattern recognition, and memory-building exercises, your child will be laying essential foundations for formal learning as they progress towards school age.
Our beautiful outdoor areas are designed for fun and to spark your child’s curiosity and learning, while our intentional and well-resourced indoor spaces offer a nurturing environment. 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 look forward to supporting you and your child on their journey with us through these incredible preschool years.
Since 2015, we have been a part of the community, and is conveniently located for families in Wigram, Hornby, and Halswell. So join us at Kindercare Wigram Skies and watch your child thrive!
