Fees

Like the whānau we serve, we want the very best for our tamariki. That’s why we don’t compromise on safe, responsive care and education. We’re committed to ensuring your whānau receives the highest standard of care for your weekly fee, which includes: 

• a generous annual leave allowance
• a nutritious midday meal, prepared fresh at thecentredaily – so you won’t need to pack kai
• healthy mid-morning and mid-afternoon snacks to fuel your child’s play and learning
• our Positive Parenting program – offering tips, advice and support for every family

Every child has different needs, and that’s why we ask that you supply your child’s own bottles, formula and nappies for each day.

Why choose our centre?

We opened our doors in September 2019, and since then, we’ve been developing a community feel to our early childhood centre. It’s because tamariki are kept at the heart of what we do, that we take time to create a home away from home feeling at our childcare centre in Paraparaumu.

Because we acknowledge parents and whānau as first Teachers, we want to find out about your hopes and dreams for your child so that we can work in partnership to nurture and develop your child’s unique potential.
