A little about us

Ko te piko o te māhuri, ko tērā te kupa o te rākau

The way in which the sapling is nurtured, determines how the tree will grow

Nature Kids is an Early Childhood Education Centre in Motueka for 2-to 6-year-olds with a foundation philosophy “let nature be your teacher”.

​We are a small family-owned and operated Early Childhood Centre with a nature based philosophy and a commitment to sustainable practice providing quality education and care and a strong belief in building positive and collaborative relationships with children, families and the community.

Taking ideas from nature kindergartens in Europe where children learn through nature and build strong connections with the natural world, as much time as possible is spent outside.

Nature Kids, set on 1.5 hectares, has a country environment which is close to town with a friendly, welcoming, nuturing homelike atmosphere and extensive outdoor facilities utilising what nature has provided.

We want Nature's Kids.....

“to grow up as competent and confident learners and communicators, healthy in mind, body, and spirit, secure in their sense of belonging and in the knowledge that they make a valued contribution to society.”
