Waiapu Kids Merivale Whānau Aroha is a community-based early childhood centre and service of Anglican Care Waiapu.
We provide quality care and education for up to 43 children in a mixed-age group setting.
The concept of ‘tuakana – teina’, plays an important part in what we believe in and base our work on at Waiapu Kids Merivale Whānau Aroha. The concept is seen in the reciprocal relationships between our older tamariki and infants and toddlers. 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 taking part in events and going on outings in the community. These strong community links enable the children to explore and connect with the wider environment, making links between people, places, and things in their world to support their sense of belonging.
Waiapu Kids Merivale Whānau Aroha is situated in Parkvale.
