We are licensed to be open between 7am and 6pm. It is important that your taitamaiti (child) is picked up before 6pm.
We are located on Central Park Drive just a minute or two from the North Western motorway. We are down a long driveway and are surrounded by trees. Because we are located off the road we don’t have issues with traffic or parking.
Strong Bonds. Thriving kids.
If you’re the type of parent who loves their tamariki (children) making friends, exploring and playing in a safe and stimulating learning environment then we’re the Centre for you.
We’re proud of the fact that we are fun and down to earth, and our easy approach means that we build strong loving bonds with our tamariki (children), their parents and their whānau (family).
If your taitamaiti (child) is over 3 then 20 hours a week is free. If your taitamaiti (child) is younger or you need them to attend more than 20 hours a week the fees will depend on the hours and days that they are enrolled for. Give us a call on 09 838 7770 or email us on info@centralparkelc.co.nz
Give us a call on 09 838 7770 or email us on info@centralparkelc.co.nz. We have tamariki (children) turning 5 and heading off to school all of the time so if we are full, we are happy to place your taitamaiti (child) on our waiting list.
We are licensed for a maximum of 82 tamariki (children), including up to 25 tamariki (children) under the age of 2.
We operate with a minimum of 80% qualified Kaiako (Teachers) and we also have an additional 2 Teachers in training. We exceed the ratio of Kaiako (Teachers) to children recommended by the Ministry of Education in both of our rooms.
We work hard to ensure that our menu caters to the dietary requirements for our tamariki (children) and will tweak our menus to suit whenever that is possible, or we will provide specially prepared meals for your taitamaiti (child) if the standard menu item is not suitable. Please feel welcome to talk to our wonderful Centre Cook to see what we can do. Alternatively, several of our tamariki (children) bring in their own lunch box from home which we are happy to accommodate – we insist however that none of the food brought into the Centre contains nut products.
