Welcome to Lollipops Waiwhetu, a childcare centre in Lower Hutt, New Zealand that your family will truly love. Located on Waikare Avenue, our establishment is not only a point of interest but also a school dedicated to providing top-quality care and education in a warm and nurturing environment.

Situated below Maunga Pukeatua in the beautiful Lower Hutt Valley, our centre offers a culturally diverse teaching team that is highly experienced and passionate about early childhood education. We believe in giving your child the best possible start to their learning journey, ensuring they tap into their own unique potential.

Built in 2008, our purpose-built centre is designed to be safe, nurturing, and well-resourced, with a strong focus on sustainability. We aim to create a home away from home for busy Lower Hutt families, inspiring and supporting your child in their early years of learning.

At Lollipops Waiwhetu, we understand the importance of fostering a lifelong love of learning. Our dedicated team of teachers and staff are committed to providing a caring and supportive environment, where your child can thrive and grow.

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all the families who have entrusted us with the care and education of their children. We greatly appreciate the positive feedback and kind words from parents like Karol's family, who have described our team not only as teachers but as friends and additional family members.

We are also grateful for the support we have received from families like Breah's, who have expressed how much they will miss our centre. It is heartwarming to know that our teachers and children have made a lasting impact on their lives.

We are excited to welcome back Vrajesh, who has returned from his trip to India and is eager to re-enroll at Lollipops Waiwhetu. It is a testament to the strong bonds formed between our teachers, children, and families.

We would like to express our gratitude to Liz and the team for organizing the trip to Staglands, where the children had a wonderful time. We are dedicated to providing enriching experiences for our children, and we appreciate the positive feedback from parents like Debbie, who commended Liz for her excellent organization and ensuring the safety and enjoyment of everyone.

In addition to our commitment to providing high-quality care and education, we are pleased to announce that starting from April 1, 2023, more families will be eligible for subsidy, and the hourly subsidy rates will increase.

At Lollipops Waiwhetu, we believe in the importance of outdoor exploration and using all senses to learn and grow. We encourage our children to make the most of their surroundings and embrace the wonders of nature.
