Cherry's Early Learning Centre

Welcome to Cherry's Early Learning Centre, a privately owned and operated establishment located in the beautiful city of Christchurch, New Zealand. Our two locations, Riverview Street in Beckenham and Maryhill Avenue in Hoon Hay, have been providing exceptional early childhood education since 1991 and 2009 respectively.

At Cherry's, we understand the importance of creating a nurturing and stimulating environment for your child. Our centres are licensed for children aged between 0 and 5, ensuring that every stage of their early development is supported. Led by our dedicated team of professional teachers, we believe in fostering your child's individuality and curiosity about the world around them.

Cherry's on Maryhill Ave is situated on a spacious corner section, housed in a modern building with shaded play-gardens. Its proximity to Hoon Hay and Our Lady of Assumption Primary Schools makes it a convenient choice for families. We are proud to have prioritized sustainability during the establishment of this centre, recycling building materials and using locally sourced macrocarpa and manuka for the play-gardens. The decking is made from sustainably harvested purple-heart, ensuring that our commitment to the environment is reflected in every aspect of our centre.

Nestled on a quarter acre section in a character bungalow, Cherry's on Riverview St offers a cozy and homelike setting among beautiful trees and play-gardens. This quiet suburban location near the base of the Cashmere Hills is in close proximity to Thorrington and Beckenham Primary Schools. The play-gardens are thoughtfully designed and feature silver birch, walnut, genko, cedar, totara, and cabbage trees, providing a picturesque backdrop for your child's play and exploration.

At Cherry's, we recognize the invaluable role parents play as the first educators of their children. We value the diverse talents and perspectives of our families, and strive to create a strong partnership between home and centre. As Enviroschools, we prioritize sustainable practices in both our environment and ethical beliefs. Our centres provide a nurturing and homelike learning environment where children can develop a deep respect for nature and our earth.

Through incorporating waiata, te reo, and tikanga Māori, we celebrate the bicultural heritage of our young New Zealanders. We believe in instilling a sense of pride and appreciation for their cultural identity from an early age.
