Nga Tamariki Puawai

Nga Tamariki Puawai, nestled in the heart of Auckland, is a beacon of warmth, love, and education for young minds. Established with a vision to nurture tomorrow's leaders, our child care and education centre offers an exceptional blend of early childhood education, kindergarten, and bilingual learning experiences – a unique trinity of Maori, English, and Indian languages. We believe that every child is a precious tamariki puawai (blossoming child) with immense potential waiting to unfurl. Our dedicated team of educators, passionate about shaping the future, work tirelessly to create an environment where each child feels valued, loved, and supported in their unique journey of discovery and learning. Our curriculum is designed around the needs and interests of each child, focusing on the holistic development of every tamariki puawai under our care. With 20 Hours Free ECE for children aged 2-5 years (conditions apply), we aim to make quality education accessible to as many families as possible. We understand that every family's situation is unique, and we strive to accommodate your needs with flexible sessional rates and a range of meal options included in our fees. For those who qualify, we offer WINZ Assisted Day Care for 9 hours per week (eligibility required, limited spaces). At Nga Tamariki Puawai, we believe in the power of community. We welcome families from all walks of life, fostering a sense of belonging and camaraderie that extends beyond our centre's walls. Our doors are always open, inviting you to join us as we grow together – tamariki, whanau, and kaiako alike. So, come, step into the vibrant world of Nga Tamariki Puawai, where every day is a new adventure, every moment an opportunity for growth, and every child's potential, a blossoming promise waiting to be realised. Let us journey together as we shape the future, one tamariki puawai at a time.
