Papa Kainga

Welcome to Papa Kainga, nestled in the heart of Bay of Plenty, where we've been a cherished part of our community for over two decades. Our name, Papa Kainga, translates to 'Home at Home', reflecting our commitment to providing a nurturing environment that feels like home - a second home for your little ones. We are more than just a childcare and education center; we are a family, a community that grows together. Our dedicated team is passionate about shaping the future of our tamariki (children), instilling in them a love for learning, and fostering their unique talents and abilities. We offer Kindergarten programs designed to prepare your child for school and beyond, ensuring they are well-rounded individuals who embrace challenges with confidence and curiosity. Beyond the classroom, we understand that every child's journey begins at home. That's why we extend our support to families, offering home-based care services tailored to each family's needs. We believe in the power of collaboration and work closely with families to create a supportive network that nurtures children holistically. In our mission to empower families, we also offer critical home repairs and building assessments for those in need. Recognizing that every home is a sanctuary for a family, we strive to ensure these spaces are safe, comfortable, and conducive to growth. To further support families, we coordinate repair schedules and offer 5-year home maintenance plans, ensuring peace of mind for our community members. At Papa Kainga, we're not just building a childcare center; we're cultivating a legacy - a legacy of love, learning, and growth. We invite you to join our family and become part of this journey with us. Together, we can create a brighter future for our children and strengthen the bonds that make our community thrive.
