We pride ourselves on the belief that Folkestone Street Infant and Child Care Centre is a unique Child Care centre, located on the North Shore of Auckland.  We believe the combination of our Philosophy, our Environment and our specialised Homely Care sets us apart from other Day Care centres

Providing early Child Care Education is one of the greatest gifts given to a Child for a positive start in life.  At the heart of that education is genuine warmth and caring for the Child through observation, listening and understanding their individual needs & interests.  For this reason our recruitment of staff is based on the foundation of early childhood education being a vocation not just a job.

Our Mission

1. High quality care, education and the environment

Superior Parent and Child Experiences

We strive to provide a centre of excellence for our parents and children. The experience had by both parties is paramount therefore we aim to constantly raise the bar to ensure, this is a fruitful, comfortable and positive experience. This experience spans the child's journey at Folkestone St, from enrolling, to the day to day interactions and to the growth and the departure of the child upon them reaching 3 years of age.
