Te Waenganui Childcare Centre opened in 2015 and is licensed to provide education and care for up to 27 children, including eight under two years of age. The centre is privately owned and operates in a newly renovated house, between Paihia and Opua, in the Bay of Islands.
The centre is spacious, with a sectioned off area for children under two years and a separate art room. Infants, toddlers, and older children share the rest of the indoor space and the outside environment.
The centre’s philosophy is aligned to Te Whāriki, the early childhood curriculum. It highlights bicultural practices and promotes cultural diversity in the programme. The philosophy prioritises a nurturing environment, connectedness with whānau and community, and the benefits for children of long periods of uninterrupted play.
