Kumeu Childcare

Welcome to Kumeu Childcare, located at Wookey Lane in the beautiful suburb of Kumeū, Auckland. As an establishment and point of interest, we pride ourselves on providing nurturing, evolving, and reflective care and education for children of all ages.

At Kumeu Childcare, we are inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach to early childhood education. Our center offers large natural environments that encourage curiosity and exploration, with a focus on providing quality care and education. Our dedicated team of educators is passionate about creating a unique and special experience for each child.

Step into our Infant Room, where you will find large, beautiful spaces filled with natural resources that stimulate children's curiosity and encourage their development. We also have a Toddler Room, which includes our center whare nui and a sleep room, providing a comfortable and engaging environment for our little ones.

In our preschool room, we have a large outdoor area that offers plenty of challenges to foster gross motor skills and promote active play. We believe that relationships with whanau (family) and the wider community are essential for the well-being and sense of belonging of our children. We truly believe that it takes a village to raise a child.

At Kumeu Childcare, we focus on nurturing confident, capable, and independent tamariki (children) through active engagement, communication, and providing them with the time, space, and care they need to thrive. Our large natural space allows for active exploration, inquiry, and discovery, creating a calm and peaceful learning environment for children. We also create provocations to inspire learning and stimulate creativity.

Don't just take our word for it, hear what our parents have to say. One family has been with us for six years, praising the exceptional care and education their children have received. Another parent commends the spacious and exciting environment, as well as the passion of our teachers. They express how happy their child is to attend "school" and how much they talk about their teachers and friends even on weekends. Another parent emphasizes the amazing and caring team, highlighting the outdoor space and functionality of our center.

We understand that every child is unique, and we provide parenting tips and strategies that match your child's temperament. Whether your child is a "low reactor" or a "BIG reactor," we have strategies to support their individual needs. We believe that understanding your child's temperament is essential for anticipating their reactions and providing a nurturing environment.

In summary, Kumeu Childcare is a Reggio inspired early childhood center that offers large natural environments, quality care, and focused education for children of all ages. We invite you to come and meet our beautiful team and see for yourself what makes us so special.
