Apakura Te Kakano Early Learning Centre

Nestled in the heart of Te Awamutu, Apakura Te Kakano Early Learning Centre is more than just a childcare facility; it's a vibrant hub where little minds flourish and hearts grow, ready to embrace the world with confidence and curiosity. Established with a deep-rooted passion for early childhood education, we have been nurturing young minds for many years, providing a warm, welcoming environment that truly feels like a second home. Our philosophy is deeply rooted in Te Whāriki, New Zealand's early childhood education curriculum, ensuring each child receives a holistic and balanced learning experience. Here, children are not merely students; they are explorers embarking on a journey of discovery, learning through play, and developing at their own pace. Our kindergarten, staffed by dedicated, experienced professionals, offers childcare for those aged 0 to 6 years old. We understand the importance of early education, and our 20 hours ECE programme is designed to give children aged 3 to 6 years a strong foundation for school readiness. But it's not just about academics; we place equal emphasis on nurturing emotional, physical, and social well-being. At Apakura Te Kakano, we believe in the power of nutrition to fuel growth and development. Our kitchen serves up nutritious, delicious meals throughout the day, ensuring your child's body is as ready for learning as their mind. We understand that every child has unique dietary needs, and our team caters to these with care and understanding. Visit us at Apakura Te Kakano Early Learning Centre, where children are not just educated; they are empowered, encouraged, and inspired to be the best versions of themselves. Here, every day is a new adventure, filled with laughter, learning, and love. Come, join our community, and witness the blossoming of seeds into strong, vibrant kakano - ready to take on the world!
