St Georges Education and Childcare Centre

Welcome to St George's Education and Childcare Centre, nestled in the heart of Whakatane since 1978. Our mission has always been to nurture the youngest members of our community, providing quality child care and education that sets a strong foundation for their future successes. From tender infants to curious preschoolers, we embrace each child as an individual, fostering their unique talents and helping them grow at their own pace. Our experienced educators create a vibrant, engaging learning environment where every day is filled with wonder and discovery. We pride ourselves on our commitment to the principles of early childhood education, offering a balanced curriculum that encourages both play-based and structured learning. We believe in the power of laughter, friendship, and imagination to unlock a child's potential. That's why we offer a wide range of activities designed to stimulate their minds and bodies – from art projects and storytime to outdoor play and music sessions. And with 20 free ECE hours available, our services are not only accessible but also affordable for Whakatane families. At St George's Education and Childcare Centre, we understand the importance of family involvement in a child's development. We welcome parents as partners in their child's learning journey, fostering open communication and collaboration at every step. Our doors are always open, inviting you to join us for special events or just to share a moment in your child's day. As we continue to grow and evolve with the changing needs of our community, one thing remains constant: our dedication to providing exceptional care and education for the children of Whakatane. We invite you to visit us, explore our centre, and experience the St George's difference for yourself. Here, your child is not just a student, but a cherished part of our extended family – a place where they can laugh, learn, and grow in confidence and curiosity every single day.
