St Mary's Family and Childcare Centre

Nestled in the heart of Tauranga, St Mary's Family and Childcare Centre has been a cherished cornerstone of our community for many years, providing exceptional child care and education services for little ones to school-age children. Our centre is more than just a daycare - it's an extension of families, a place where children grow, learn, and thrive in a warm, nurturing environment that fosters curiosity, creativity, and resilience. At St Mary's Family and Childcare Centre, we believe that every child is unique and capable, and our Kindergarten and Early Childhood Education programmes are tailored to meet each child's individual needs, abilities, and interests. Our team of dedicated, experienced educators work tirelessly to create a stimulating and engaging learning environment where children can explore, discover, and develop at their own pace. We pride ourselves on our mixed-age group setting, which allows for a rich, diverse, and dynamic social environment that encourages collaboration, empathy, and understanding among the children. This community-based approach helps to prepare our little ones for the real world, teaching them valuable skills like leadership, teamwork, and problem-solving that will serve them well throughout their lives. Our commitment to quality care and education extends beyond the classroom as well. We offer a 20 Hours Free Education programme, ensuring that families in our community have access to affordable, high-quality childcare services without breaking the bank. And because we understand the importance of strong family connections, we encourage active participation from parents and caregivers, offering regular updates on their child's progress and opportunities for volunteer work at the centre. At St Mary's Family and Childcare Centre, we believe that every moment matters in a child's life, and we strive to make each one count. We invite you to visit us, tour our facilities, and experience the warmth, love, and learning that make St Mary's Family and Childcare Centre a special place for families in Tauranga. Together, we can help shape the future of your little ones, one smile, one laughter, one discovery at a time.
