Your child will feel at home in this not-for-profit early childhood centre with a history of positive Education Review Office reports and great teacher-to-child ratios. Our highly-qualified and experienced teachers nurture children from birth to six years old in a newly-built facility.
Massey Child Care Centre - Albany opened its newly rehomed and refurbished centre to welcome 50 per cent more children than before.
The centre features two buildings from Massey’s Oteha Rohe campus that have been relocated and refurbished internally to provide a much-improved learning space for all.
The centre has licensing for up to 60 children, with more space inside and out to support a larger roll as well as new state-of the-art facilities.
With two main sections, the Pukeko Section for Infant and toddlers up to three years, and the Kiwi Section for young children two-and-a-half to six years-old, children can transition through the centre based on their needs rather than age.
Each section of the centre has its own inside play environment with multiple double doors opening on to the deck, which not only doubles the play space, but can be used all year round.
