Central Kids Selwyn

Welcome to Central Kids Selwyn, nestled in the heart of Rotorua – a vibrant city steeped in culture and natural beauty. Since our inception in 2013, we've been more than just a childcare and education center; we're a warm, nurturing home away from home for the little ones in our care. Our approach to early childhood education is unique, as we embrace te ao Māori – the Māori worldview – in our curriculum, fostering a deep connection with Aotearoa's indigenous heritage. We believe that every child is a precious taonga (treasure), and it's our privilege to guide their first steps into learning. We offer kindergarten programs designed to stimulate curiosity, foster creativity, and nurture confidence. Our dedicated team of teachers work tirelessly to provide a supportive environment where each child can flourish at their own pace. We understand that every child is unique, and we strive to cater to their individual needs and interests. Nourishing meals are an integral part of our daily routine. We believe that a healthy body fuels a healthy mind, so we prepare nutritious meals from scratch, using fresh, locally-sourced ingredients whenever possible. Our menu is designed by nutritionists to ensure your child receives the balanced diet they need for optimal growth and development. We're proud to offer free weekly nurse visits as part of our commitment to the health and wellbeing of each child in our care. We also have a dedicated key teacher for every child, ensuring that they receive consistent care and attention. This bond helps build trust, fostering a sense of security and comfort. Our center is not just a place for learning; it's a hub of community connections. We actively engage with local organizations and events, providing opportunities for our children to learn about and participate in the rich cultural tapestry that makes Rotorua so special. So, whether you're looking for a kindergarten or a childcare center where your little one can grow, learn, and thrive, come join us at Central Kids Selwyn. We look forward to welcoming you into our extended family!
