Childcare options in Lower Hutt

Lower Hutt Early Learning Centre is a diverse, spacious and stimulating environment where your child will thrive.  

• The beautiful big trees in our huge outdoor area provide shade for our tamariki while they explore and discover. 
• Large indoor spaces and play-based resources allow for your child’s curiosities to develop while enabling them to learn and discover at their own pace. 
• Each child’s individual nature and uniqueness is embraced and celebrated by our nurturing teaching team.

At Millie’s House Waiwhetu we embrace diversity to create lasting memories. We pride ourselves on embracing and respecting each and every individual for the value they bring to our centre whanau – including our differences, and how meaningful learning and understanding comes from these.

As soon as you enter, you will sense the warmth of an environment that is calm and inviting, but cheerful and active too. Children and teachers are engaged in planned and self-directed exploration and discovery, and a sense of belonging is immediately felt.

For our whanau, we host and engage in spectacular events and celebrations, finding new and innovative ways to showcase and communicate the learning our children have been engaged in. Parent and whanau input is always welcome and in fact encouraged. The same applies for acknowledging and celebrating our families cultures, which you will find woven throughout our curriculum, meal times and centre tikanga.
