About Us
A Child’s Place is a NZ owned Centre that is operated by a qualified, registered Early Childhood teacher. The purpose built childcare centre is licensed for 68 children from 3 months to 6 years of age. We value the importance of primary caregiving and have ensured small group sizes for our infants and toddlers. We pride ourselves on creating a home away from home environment for you and your children. Value is placed on the relationships that will be formed and acknowledge the importance of these as you embark on your journey with us.
​
Our centre is a warm and loving environment that is authentic, safe and nurturing. It is important to us that everyone here is empowered to learn and be inspired together. We value a culture of gentleness and being present in each moment. At a Child’s Place we see learning as a journey navigated by your child. It is important to us that this journey be filled with passion, wonder and joy. We lead with our heart and soul and value our role as that of ‘partner’ acknowledging a child as a free and equal person and partner.
​
We greatly value the importance that nature plays in a child’s learning journey and as such our centre reflects this in our outdoor areas and through incorporating natural resources.
Management and staff value the importance of ongoing professional development to ensure individual interests and needs are met and to ensure we continue growing as a team.
Healthy nutritious meals are provided by our chef covering morning and afternoon teas and a hot cooked lunch.
​
A Child’s Place is open from 7.30am – 6:00pm Monday to Friday offering full day, half day and school time sessions.
