Northland, Child Minding

We work to ensure that children moving from the centre to school possess the skills they need for learning and participating in a larger and more complex environment, thus a successful transition and learning progression in the new school.

We are a family owned and operated centre who is committed to the care and education of young children in a safe and caring environment.  We aim to provide a home away from home environment where children are respected as individuals and learn at their own pace.

Kiwi Kids Early Learning Centre is a family centre where your child and whanau will feel at home and part of our extended whanau. Kiwi Kids is a purpose built centre, creating three developmental areas for your child. The Piwakawaka room is for our young infants, the Tui tots room is for our busy toddlers and the Kereru Kindy is for our ever exploring young children.

We are locally owned and cover a wide area from Bay Of Islands, Dargaville through to Whangarei and surrounding suburbs. Our office and Playgroup is situated in central Whangarei.

We offer; Teacher led playgroups - Literacy Programme - Transition to School Programme - Healthy environment - Flexible hours - Safe Environment.

The team at Educare Tikipunga pride themselves on incorporating all aspects of our community, from the diversity of the cultures of our families to the frequent adventures we take on our walks to the park, development sites, shops and other interesting localities.
