About Songbird Early Childhood Centre Aongatete
Welcome to Songbird Early Childhood Centre Aongatete! Located in the beautiful rural setting of Katikati, on State Highway 2, our center offers quality care and education for toddlers and pre-schoolers aged 2-5 years.
At Songbird, we prioritize building confident learners in a happy and secure environment. With a high child to teacher ratio, our dedicated team of qualified early childhood teachers ensures that each child receives the attention and support they need to thrive.
Our spacious outdoor area, surrounded by farmland and orchards, provides a perfect setting for children to explore, play, and learn. With a large lawn, vegetable garden, playground, and huge sandpit, our inviting space offers endless opportunities for relaxation and discovery.
We believe in building strong relationships with children and families, as we understand that a secure sense of belonging and community is crucial for children's exploration, discovery, and learning. Our center focuses on developing self-management skills in preparation for primary school, and each child has a beautiful portfolio documenting their learning and development progress.
At Songbird, we lead with love and teach with heart. Our nurturing Kaiako and wonderful families create an environment woven with aroha (love), care, and respect. Kindness, trust, and meaningful relationships are at the core of everything we do, as we nurture the mana of each child and fill their buckets with love.
We embrace child-led learning through play, and our unique rural location supports children's natural curiosity and wonderment. Our rich curriculum, inspired by children's interests and supported by our professional knowledge, fosters resilience, problem-solving, and a love for learning.
We are committed to building trusting, respectful, and loving relationships with all our children and whanau (families). We believe that children flourish when they are given love, time, and recognized as unique and valued individuals.
Rebecca and Dan, our founders, live locally in Omokoroa and are passionate about providing a home away from home for children. Rebecca, a qualified and registered teacher, brings her experience working with babies, toddlers, and pre-schoolers to create a nurturing learning environment. Dan, our accounts administrator and maintenance expert, ensures the smooth running of our center.
Our vision for Songbird is to create an inviting learning environment that feels like an extension of children's families and homes. We aim to foster a genuine community spirit where all children and families feel valued and enjoy positive relationships with our teachers.
We look forward to meeting you and sharing in your child's learning journey at Songbird Early Childhood Centre Aongatete. Come and join our whānau today!

Reviews of Songbird Early Childhood Centre Aongatete
"My son started at Songbird when he was 4&1/2 and I wish he had started earlier! The teachers are wonderful, they were all very quick to bond with him, learn his interests, and even remember the names of his siblings! The centre itself is fantastic, with a huge outside play area with trees, sandpit, swings, climbing equipment, bikes, a mud kitchen... and so on. When in the backyard you have no idea that you’re next to a main road. Inside it’s spacious and clean, with children’s artwork on the walls and plenty of toys to keep children busy & learning. I’m hoping my next child will go there when he turns two."
"Lovely, kind and caring ECE centre. Rebecca and Dan have a wonderful team of teachers who help make this the really special place it is. Loved our time at Songbird and can highly recommend it. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"
