Central Hastings Early Learning Centre

Welcome to Central Hastings Early Learning Centre, a near-new preschool located in the heart of Hastings, New Zealand. Our mission is to create magical learning experiences for our tamariki (children) and their whānau (families), helping them reach their full potential.

Situated on the former grounds of the Hastings Bowling Club, our center boasts unique indoor and outdoor spaces. Our natural environment plays a vital role in fostering a sense of belonging and respect within our center's culture. With open natural spaces to explore, our kaiako (teachers) are able to provide unique and enriching learning experiences in a warm, loving, and safe environment.

At Central Hastings Early Learning Centre, we prioritize high-quality childcare and preschool education. We understand the importance of stimulating the mental, physical, and emotional growth of our tamariki. That's why we offer a wide variety of experiences and constantly incorporate new developments in early childhood education into our programs. Our kaiako are dedicated to staying at the forefront of children's learning.

We believe in the power of collaboration and family involvement. Each child has ownership of their own profile, displayed in their respective room, which parents can view and contribute to. We encourage a collaborative approach with whānau, ensuring that everyone is involved in their child's learning journey.

Our modern purpose-built facilities and new resources are lovingly maintained to the highest standards in early childhood. We provide a rich and broad curriculum that stimulates the holistic manner in which children learn and develop. Our goal is to foster wonderment and a sense of responsibility for the living world, as well as knowledge of how to care for it and be sustainable.

Central Hastings Early Learning Centre is conveniently located at 511 Hastings Street South, in the CBD of Hastings. With our magical learning experiences, warm and safe environment, and commitment to the holistic development of our tamariki, we invite you to join our community and embark on a journey of growth and discovery.
