Dinsdale Early Learning Centre is a place of aroha, where caring relationships are fostered between tamariki, kaiako, whānau, Papatuuaanuku and our wider community.

Learning takes place in a play-based, hands-on, child-led environment that is integrated with nature. Tamariki are free to explore and discover at their own pace, learning fundamental skills and values to become life ready.

Tamariki have the freedom to express themselves, and are respected for their cultural identity, individuality and abilities.

Our well resourced, home-like environment includes a specialist room for infants and toddlers, and a large outdoor space with plenty of room to play and experience an abundance of learning opportunities. We are conveniently located near the Dinsdale shopping centre in Hamilton.

Our centre values:

• manaakitanga (support)
• akoranga (learning)
• kotahitanga (partnership)
• kaitiakitanga (nurturing and protection)
• whanaungatanga (connection). 

Te Whaariki early childhood curriculum and Te Tiriti o Waitangi underpin all that we do.

Nau mai haere mai, our door is always open, come in and see us any time.
