Poly High Community Child Care Centre

Welcome to Poly High Community Child Care Centre, nestled in the heart of vibrant Wellington, where a nurturing, inclusive, and educational environment has been fostering young minds since 1984. Our centre is more than just childcare; we're an extension of family, a hub for exploration, and a cradle for curiosity. From the moment you step into our welcoming space, you'll feel the warmth radiating from our dedicated team who genuinely care for each child's unique potential. We offer age-specific programs tailored to your child's needs: from tender-loving care for our under 2s, to stimulating and interactive experiences for our over 2s, all the way up to our Kiwi, Tuatara, and Preschool groups. We believe in a holistic approach to early childhood education, following Te Whāriki's curriculum framework, which encourages the development of competent and confident learners through meaningful play experiences. Our bicultural curriculum weaves together the best of Māori and Western educational philosophies, reflecting Aotearoa's rich cultural tapestry. Nourishing bodies are just as important to us as nurturing minds, which is why we provide nutritious meals throughout the day. We understand that good nutrition sets a strong foundation for growth and learning, so our menu is carefully crafted to meet your child's dietary needs while introducing them to a variety of flavours. But it's not all work and no play here! Our centre buzzes with laughter, creativity, and the joy of discovery. From art projects to imaginary play, from story time to outdoor adventures, every day offers new opportunities for your child to explore, learn, and grow. Best of all, we offer 20 Hours Free Education for eligible children, making quality early childhood education accessible and affordable for many families in our community. Our dedicated teachers are passionate about what they do and strive to create an environment where every child can thrive. So, whether you're a local family seeking a nurturing space for your little one or a newcomer to Wellington looking for a place to call home away from home, we invite you to join our vibrant Poly High Community Child Care Centre family. Together, we'll create memories, nurture dreams, and lay the foundations for lifelong learning and success.
