Pīwakawaka Early Learning Centre
At Pīwakawaka Early Learning Centre, we care deeply about nurturing confident, curious, and kind tamariki aged 3 months to 6 years.
Located in Waltham, Christchurch, our centre is a welcoming, inclusive space where every child is celebrated for who they are.
We offer a rich, play-based learning environment inspired by Te Whāriki, guided by experienced kaiako who support each child’s growth in a caring and respectful way.
Strong relationships with whānau help us create a true sense of belonging, while our daily practice honours te ao Māori through the use of te reo Māori and tikanga Māori.
Children are encouraged to explore, express themselves, and build lasting friendships in a safe, joyful space designed for learning and discovery.
At Pīwakawaka, we believe every child deserves a great start, and we’re here to support them every step of the way.

Rhyme and Reason - Early Learning Centre
At Rhyme and Reason, every day is treated as a new opportunity to connect, grow, and build on the immense curiosity that will create a life-long love of learning.
We believe that every person is unique, with something valuable to offer. We guide children in uncovering their unique strengths, and in turn, they’re constantly teaching us.
You’ll feel it when you visit. There’s something wonderfully different about Rhyme and Reason.
You'll notice it the moment you walk in the door. Whilst respecting the past, we’ve developed the traditional model of childcare into a more holistic approach, encompassing care, education, inspiration, and connection. It’s a home away from home and a supportive community for you and your family.
