Peekaboo Childcare Centre - Forrest Hill

With great excitement we opened our new Forrest Hill Peekaboo centre in January 2021.

We carefully designed the centre to be a beautiful environment for your child, with green spaces, sustainable materials, rain water harvesting & solar power. We back onto a large reserve which is a lovely vista and play ground for us to enjoy.

Proudly owned and operated by local couple, Michelle & Adrian, we are committed to the childcare sector and providing excellent levels of education and care. Michelle is a board member of the Early Childhood Council.

Our initial staff will come from our existing centres as they know our philosophy and can embed this within our new centre. Our new staff will be carefully handpicked to uphold our values and high standards of quality we aim to provide.

Our centres are warm & inviting with many of our staff having long term tenure as they enjoy our approach to employment and families.

We would love to show you around our new centre as we know you will be impressed by it & the great team we have to look after your precious children.

What sets us apart...

• Brand new & fully resourced centre
• Highly experienced staff
• High teacher to child ratio

Our philosophy

Peekaboo provides families in our diverse local community with a safe, stimulating, fun learning environment; where our children are loved, respected, valued and nurtured in our enriching surroundings that encourage them to realize their unique potential and to respect and embrace the differences in others. Providing good nutrition to our children is an important building block for children’s future health.

We aim for families and educators to work hand in hand to provide a healthy community within our Centre. We provide an environment that promotes physical activity and nutrition to support our children’s well being. We are committed to a genuine partnership with families/whānau and welcome the active contribution and collaboration of parents and families to their child's growth and development.

Peekaboo provides the children with various settings in which to explore, interact and gain knowledge. These areas range from our Natural garden through to teacher directed activities and learning. Our professional teaching team encourage a passion for learning and thus they establish a foundation and desire for life-long learning within the child.

At Peekaboo we embrace multiculturalism while acknowledging the unique place of Maori as tangata whenua. We provide our children with opportunities to develop knowledge and an understanding of the cultural heritages of all the children in the Peekaboo Community and both parties to Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

We are proud of our reputation as an approachable, friendly, dedicated, quality, home-away-from-home environment for our children and families.
