York Place Preschool & Nursery

Welcome to York Place Preschool & Nursery, located in the heart of Dunedin, New Zealand. Our establishment is the ideal early childcare centre for newborns through to 5-year-olds. Situated close to the City Centre, University of Otago, and Octagon, we are conveniently located for families in the area.

At York Place Preschool & Nursery, we understand the importance of providing a nurturing and educational environment for your children. That's why all of our permanent teachers are not only qualified and registered, but also trained in first aid. Your child's safety and well-being are our top priorities.

We believe in the value of small group sizes, enabling us to exceed ministry teacher to child ratios. This allows for personalized attention, unrushed care routines, and intentional teaching. Our dedicated teachers are committed to creating meaningful one-on-one moments with each child, fostering their development and growth.

One of the highlights of our centre is the seamless indoor-outdoor flow. We believe that children should have a balanced mix of classroom time and outdoor experiences. Our spacious outdoor area provides ample opportunities for exploration, physical activity, and imaginative play. Whether it's running, climbing, or simply enjoying the fresh air, your child will have plenty of opportunities to engage with nature and develop their gross motor skills.

We understand the demands of modern life, which is why we offer extended operating hours from 7:30am to 6:00pm, Monday to Friday. This flexibility allows working parents to drop off and pick up their children at their convenience, without compromising on quality care and education.

At York Place Preschool & Nursery, we strive to create a warm and welcoming environment where your child can thrive. We believe in building strong partnerships with families, working together to support your child's individual needs and aspirations. With our experienced and dedicated team, you can trust that your child is in safe hands.
