Rotorua Girls' High School Childcare Centre

Rotorua Girls’ High School Childcare Trust is a small community based early childhood service, for up to 30 tamariki from 3 months to 5 years old, providing a stimulating educational environment for all tamariki. This centre was established around 1985 to provide a service for the local community. Today people from the wider Rotorua community, many of whom are linked with the education sector, use the centre. We believe in strong links and ongoing communication between tamariki, parents, whanau, kaiako and the Trust. As a community of learners, we are dedicated to honouring Te Tiriti o Waitangi in all aspects of teaching and learning through the engagement of dual heritage practices. The centre works with the Early Childhood Curriculum, Te Whariki, reflecting each child’s individual strengths and interests.

The centre is located within the Rotorua Girls’ High School grounds and is accessible via the school’s Miro Street driveway. We are close to the central business district of Rotorua which includes a varied range of social, economic and ethnic groups. Rotorua Girls’ High School Childcare Trust generally operates in conjunction with the primary school terms. The centre is open for approximately 43 weeks of the year, opening for shorter hours in the first three days of each holiday period, then closed until the new term starts.
