Coastlands Early Childhood

Nestled in the heart of Whakatane, Coastlands Early Childhood has been a cherished cornerstone of our community for decades, offering child care and education that nurtures young minds from birth to school age. We are more than just a daycare; we're a vibrant, play-based learning environment where every child is encouraged to grow, explore, and discover their unique potential. Our story began with a simple belief: that the early years of a child's life lay the foundation for their future success. Over the years, we have honed our craft, refining our approach to create an enriching environment where children can learn through play, guided by our dedicated and passionate team. We offer both full day care and part-time options, ensuring flexibility to meet your family's needs. At Coastlands Early Childhood, we embrace the government's 20 Hours Free Education for children over three, providing a rich and diverse learning experience that goes beyond the classroom walls. Our curriculum is designed to stimulate curiosity, develop social skills, and foster a love for learning that lasts a lifetime. We believe in the power of play to spark imagination, inspire creativity, and build resilience. Each day at Coastlands Early Childhood is filled with laughter, exploration, and the joy of discovery. Our spacious, sun-filled classrooms are designed to encourage free movement and exploration, while our outdoor spaces invite children to dig, climb, and run in the fresh air. In a world that moves faster every day, we strive to create an oasis where children can slow down, breathe, and learn at their own pace. We are more than just a childcare center; we're a community of support, growth, and learning. Welcome to Coastlands Early Childhood - your child's home away from home.
