Kindercare Learning Centres
About Us
We’re here because children matter; because it is our mission to develop each child’s full potential by providing outstanding early childhood care and education.
That’s why parents and whānau choose us – because they know they’re choosing childcare that begins and ends with loving care. We’re about people – te tangata – and relationships. Our core values – Safe, Loved and Learning – are so meaningful, because they guide how we speak to each other, and how we treat each other.
You’ll find our early childhood centres in Auckland, Christchurch, Wellington, Hamilton, and Palmerston North. Because families and whānau have different needs, we offer different enrolment options from full day to part time, to sessional care. We’re part of our local communities and our curriculum and enrolment options reflect this. Our centres care for tamariki from birth to five years old and are open Monday to Friday, throughout the year, except for statutory holidays.
Our Vision Statement encompasses the heart of what we do: To Serve with Love. Because we understand the value of trust and whanaungatanga, we take the time to get to know each child, we build partnerships with parents and whānau, and we prioritise kindness and respect within our team.
