Āwhina Te Mata, nestled above the vineyards of Te Mata, is our newest early childhood centre.
Located on Te Mata Road in Havelock North, our purposefully designed space celebrates a natural environment, learning through play, and a sense of calm that supports every child’s unique journey. With dedicated spaces for under and over 2s, we offer respectful, child-led care in a peaceful, nature-rich environment, guided by Te Whāriki and inspired by aspects of Steiner philosophy.
Our stunning environment is designed to feel safe, familiar, and peaceful, encouraging tamariki to explore and grow at their own pace. Outside you’ll find real grass, flower and vegetable gardens, a bike track, bark area, chicken coop, and sandpit, overlooking a stunning nature backdrop.
We take a holistic approach to care, honouring each child’s wellbeing, working in close partnership with whānau to nurture their aspirations.
