Quality Child Care

Our Centre

Atawhai childcare is located in the heart of Toi Ohomai and provides childcare for students and the wider community.

We offer a warm, nurturing, stimulating educational environment, rich in learning resources with enthusiastic and passionate educators. Our educators are experienced, professional and hold either the Primary and/or ECE qualifications. Our aim is to provide quality childcare that fosters relationships and adventure that builds lifelong learners.

Our childcare centre is underpinned by the Reggio Emilia approach to learning and all environments provide opportunities for children to explore and challenge their own interest through play. Our learning environments are specifically designed to challenge children in all aspects of their physical, social and mental development.

​

Our Centre is separated into two spaces,

​

Our under 2 space caters for children aged from newborn to approximately 2 years old with:

• Specialised infant and toddler areas
