Farmhouse Preschool and Nursery

Farmhouse Preschool and Nursery is a new daycare centre and nursery school in Levin for children from birth to five-years-old. Although our centre is new, the team behind it is very experienced - owning several other centres across Horowhenua and the Kapiti Coast.

With two dedicated buildings - one for 0-2 and one for 2-5 - your child will love coming to our daycare no matter what their age. We have a wide-ranging preschool programme for children including the chance to get outside in the fresh air and spend time with our lovely animals.

We're open from 7am to 6pm so we can provide childcare when you need it to fit in with your working hours. Conveniently located close to central Levin, we welcome families from across the areas including Ohau, Poroutawhao and Koputaroa.

Our Early Learning Services Philosophy

We strive to provide a natural learning environment that promotes a child led learning approach through opportunities that include experiences, conversations, relationships, interactions, partnerships and responses. We valued and uphold the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi. This is underpinned by;

Aroha: 

We care and build strong partnerships with tamariki and their whānau that are based on empathy, compassion, respect and trust. We value, celebrate and uphold all language, culture and identity. We encourage our nga tamariki to have a love for their environment.

Kaitiakītanga:

 We respect ourselves, each other and the learning environment. We respect, promote and understand each individual tamariki emotional development and learning needs. We integrate animals into our daily programme and support nga tamariki in having a sense of responsibility and to support the development of empathy.

Whānaungatanga: 

We all work together in partnership to provide the best outcome for our tamariki. We encourage whanau to be active participants in their child’s learning where voice is heard, valued and responded too.
