Central Kids Ngongotaha

Welcome to Central Kids Ngongotaha, nestled in the heart of Rotorua – a vibrant city renowned for its geothermal wonders, yet truly cherished for its warm and nurturing community spirit. For over two decades, we've been proudly serving the tamariki of this incredible city, offering child care and education that goes beyond the classroom walls. Our story began when a group of passionate educators recognized the need for a space where every child could grow, learn, and thrive in their unique ways. Since then, we've been committed to providing early childhood education that embraces each child's curiosity, creativity, and individuality. We believe in fostering holistic development – nurturing not only their intellectual growth but also their emotional, social, and physical well-being. At Central Kids Ngongotaha, we offer a kindergarten experience like no other. Our mixed age Tuakana-teina environment encourages learning through play, peer interaction, and mentorship, ensuring that each child is actively engaged in their education while developing essential life skills. We're proud to be part of the 20 hours free education for children over three program, making quality early childhood education accessible for more families within our community. As a cornerstone of Rotorua's community, we take immense pride in connecting with and learning from the people who make this city so special. We invite local artists, performers, and experts to share their talents with our tamariki, enriching their understanding of the world around them. We also actively support local initiatives and events, fostering a sense of belonging and camaraderie among our children and their families. Central Kids Ngongotaha is more than just a child care center – we're an extension of your family, a second home where your child can grow, learn, and play with love, respect, and understanding. Come visit us, share a story, or simply watch as your child takes their first steps towards a brighter future. We can't wait to welcome you to our Central Kids Ngongotaha ohana!
