About Our Childcare Centre

We have facilities to cater for children from birth until they reach school age.

We have separate units for children who are under two and those over two, however there is interaction between all the groups. This is particularly important when there are children attending from the same family, and when children transition from their current room.

Location

37 Sunshine Ave, TeRapa, Hamilton.
We are located in the Te Rapa/ Pukete area
We are easily accessible from Te Rapa Road, and the Pukete Bridge. Click HERE for a map.
