Newstead Country Preschool

Newstead Country Preschool is a boutique rural childcare centre set on 15 acres of farmland, fringed by a bush clad gully only 5km from Hillcrest and Hamilton East. 

A free choice of activities is provided to foster the physical, intellectual, social and emotional aspects of the children’s development. We encourage creativity and self-expression through a variety of language activities, music and movement, dramatic play, arts and crafts. Participating in various outdoor activities including gardening, carpentry, walks, swings and trampolines strengthens physical capabilities.

Philosophy

Our Preschool Philosophy is based around four essential elements:

• Our unique country setting
• A welcoming extended family atmosphere within the centre
• Providing an well-rounded early childhood educational programme
• Quality teacher/child ratios
