Pauanui Playschool

Welcome to Pauanui Playschool, nestled in the heart of Waikato - a beacon of community spirit and early childhood education. Established over two decades ago, we've been committed to nurturing the minds and hearts of young ones, providing them with a safe, stimulating environment where they can learn, grow, and flourish. We are more than just a childcare centre; we are a not-for-profit organisation, owned by our community, for our community. Our team of dedicated educators, who genuinely love what they do, craft an emergent interest-based programme that encourages curiosity, creativity, and exploration. We believe in the power of play to foster a child's holistic development, and we take pride in creating experiences that spark imagination and ignite a lifelong love for learning. Our full-day programme caters to children under 2 years old, offering them a smooth transition into their educational journey. We understand the importance of early childhood education, and we strive to create an atmosphere where every child feels valued, respected, and loved. Our teachers are not just caregivers; they are mentors, guides, and friends, working tirelessly to ensure each child reaches their full potential. At Pauanui Playschool, we're more than a school - we're an extended family. We invite you to join us on this incredible journey of learning, growth, and community connection. Come, be a part of our story, and let us be a part of yours. Together, we can shape the future of Waikato, one child at a time.
