Our Services
With kura pūhou (kindergartens) and tāpuke akoranga (early learning centres) around the central region of Te Ika-a-Maui (North Island), finding a home away from home for your tamariki is easy.
Our Early Learning Centres offer care for children aged from 6 months to 6 years and our Kindergartens care for children from 2 to 6 years of age.
No matter where you are based, all our Central Kids Early Education Centres teach our holistic philosophy for a quality education for your tamariki. Our centres are well-connected to their local community and take every opportunity to explore the world outside of the centre.
Our tuakana-teina mixed age learning develops empathy, kindness, caring and manaaki, with our older tamariki providing guidance for our younger ones as each and every child grows at their own pace.
We offer a range of services to cater to you and your whānau, and help you maximise your time with our Central Kids team. Refer to your local Early Education Centres for specific hours.

Early Education Centres
Central Kids is the first step in the future development of your tamariki, as we see them through several important life stages. Both our early learning centres (six months to six years) and kindergartens (two to six years) focus on a relational approach and one-to-one teaching style. Through this, your tamariki will get a high level of attention, interaction and education that will nurture them emotionally and physically through those crucial years.
Mātauranga Ake
Central Kids believe housing stability is of vital importance to developing tamariki. The Mātauranga Ake service connect people via Navigators to the wrap-around services and support they need to achieve housing, employability and overall wellness, ensuring tamariki have access to early childhood education.
Conference Centre
Based in the heart of Putāruru, our multi-purpose venue is an affordable option to host small to medium meetings and events. We have a range of room options to suit your requirements.
