Kiwi Educare

Kiwi Educare is a mixed age early childcare centre for children birth to 6 years old in Lynmore, Rotorua. Children learn in an open plan purpose-built building and outdoor environment, that is modern with large windows and lots of natural light. A large sleep room supports children’s natural sleep routines. Kiwi Educare prepares fresh healthy meals daily for our children. Our centre opens into a sunny outside area that has veggie gardens and other fruit trees.

Our experienced and qualified teaching team support children’s learning through Tuakana-Teina (teaching partnership between children) relationships, following each child’s individual learning progression supported by their key teacher, the New Zealand Curriculum Te Whāriki and guiding principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi. Our centre places high priority on whānau involvement and community-based learning experiences. All learning is documented and shared with whānau through several mediums, both online and in person.

Testimonals

what our clients say

The Kiwi Educare team are friendly, caring, and do a great job looking after my son. He started at the centre at 18 months old and loves spending time there – playing in the sandpit, dancing to music and learning new things. As a family we love the effort that goes into the special activities organised around themes such as Matariki, Olympics and Mother’s Day and how we are invited to take part. Highly recommended as a safe, happy place for your little one.
- Rachel McRae
Both my daughter and son absolutely love kiwi educare, its been amazing to watch them thrive and grow over the years. The teachers are loving and nuturing and have provided a great preschool education and fun.
- Emily
I highly recommend Kiwi Educare as being a smaller centre it means teachers have that one on one quality interaction with children. For example when my kids first attended the daycare they were very reserved and shy but with the great support from all teachers my kids are now social butterflies who have grown into confident and independent children. As a parent I cannot thank the teachers enough for showing and giving my children their love and attention.
- Karli and William
Kiwi Educare has been the most amazing centre for our family.We wanted to say thank you so much for taking care of our baby son. You guys have made having to go back to work and leave our baby so much easier. We feel at ease knowing he is having so much fun at daycare. He is always learning new things and being challenged. The staff and teachers are all lovely and so caring. We love that you are open early enough for an easy drop off and open late enough for those later work days when needed. Nothing is ever a problem. We feel like we have gained a second family so we truly thank you for all your hard work.
- Love the Thom Family
Right from our first visit, Kiwi Educare helped us feel so comfortable with the thought of someone else taking care of our son (which as a first time parent can be quite daunting!). All of the teachers were so warm and friendly and we very quickly made to feel part of the Kiwi Educare family. We love the regular updates we get on the Educa app of our son’s learning progress and growth and they were open to accommodating our cloth nappy needs as well which a lot of other centres said no to. I really can’t say enough how much we love this centre for our boy. Looking forward to many more years of our children being part of this wonderful whanau.
