Good Seeds Children's Centre Riverside

Welcome to Good Seeds Children's Centre Riverside, located at Auckland, Peace Avenue, 11. As a Christian-based organization, Good Seed Trust is committed to seeing families succeed regardless of their background and circumstances. Our vision is fueled by our passion for our people and our own personal life experiences.

At Good Seeds Children's Centre Riverside, we firmly believe that investing time and partnership within our community is crucial to ensuring the future success of our children and generations to come. Through our services and programs, we aim to cultivate a strong family environment that produces positive outcomes for the future of our families.

Our mission is to strengthen families so that these positive outcomes become intergenerational, benefiting both their own family and the surrounding community. We started as a single childcare center called 'Shiloh Children's Centre', founded by Raewyn Paapu and Grace Ikiua, as a part of the Shiloh Fellowship Trust. As the need for childcare services grew, the preschool expanded beyond the capacity of a small organization, leading to the transfer of ownership to Good Seed Trust. Today, Good Seeds Children's Centres, as they are now called, have become the flagship of Good Seed Trust's growth, enabling us to offer the range of services you see today. We are a group of dedicated individuals who are determined to make a positive difference in our community, and we invite you to join us on this journey.

We offer a wide range of high-quality services that revolve around family. Our OSCAR program provides support for families and keeps our tamariki (children) active and inspired outside of school. SuperGrans equips families with the tools they need to be the best mentors, partners, and examples to their children, family, and friends. Our early childhood education services are of the highest quality, with experienced staff members, and are available in various locations across Auckland.

Additionally, we have specific programs designed to strengthen the bond between fathers and their children through team-building themed settings. Our Playgroup is a free service that allows parents and whanau (extended family) to participate in their children's early learning experiences. L.I.T. (Leaders in Training) pairs our GST Youth workers with young people in the community, providing guidance on all matters related to growing up in today's society.

We are dedicated to making a lasting impact on families that need it most. If you share our vision and would like to support us in our mission, please consider contributing to our cause. Together, we can create a better future for our children and our community.
