A little about us
Waiapu Kids St Francis is a community-based early childhood centre and service of Anglican Care Waiapu. We provide quality care and education for up to 42 children in a mixed-age group setting.

The concept of ‘tuakana – teina’, is strongly valued at the centre and is seen in the reciprocal relationships between our older tamariki and infants and toddlers. This plays an important part in what we believe in, and base our work on. 

Children of different ages are encouraged to interact and learn from each other in a safe environment, sharing knowledge and experiences. We value children’s play as the way in which they learn about the world around them. Different activities and opportunities are provided for children each day to extend their interests, develop social, emotional, and cognitive skills, and build self-confidence and creativity. 

We have a great relationship with our community and enjoy often taking part in events and going on outings in the community. These strong links give the children a sense of belonging and identity as well as providing teachers with invaluable information and resources.

Waiapu Kids St Francis is situated in Western Heights.
