Tuatara Kids

Welcome to Tuatara Kids, Wellington's cherished gem of childcare and early childhood education! Since our inception in 2013, we've been nurturing the young minds of tomorrow with love, care, and a passion for learning that sets us apart from the rest. Located in the heart of Wellington, Tuatara Kids is more than just a childcare center—we are an extension of your family, committed to providing top-notch education and care service that fosters growth, creativity, and confidence in every child who walks through our doors. Our unique approach begins with the Tuakana-Teina Buddy System, where older children serve as mentors for younger ones, fostering a sense of camaraderie, empathy, and leadership. This system encourages the sharing of knowledge, skills, and experiences, creating an environment that celebrates collaboration and respect among all. At Tuatara Kids, we believe in the power of emergent curriculum—a flexible, responsive approach to learning that follows the children's interests and ideas. Our educators are skilled professionals who collaborate with families to ensure each child receives a tailored educational experience that is engaging, meaningful, and fun! We understand that choosing a childcare provider is an important decision for any family. That's why we pride ourselves on offering a range of services designed to accommodate the needs of busy Wellington parents. From flexible scheduling options to family discounts, we're here to make your life easier while providing your child with the best care and education possible. Join our Tuatara Kids family today, where every child is valued, loved, and encouraged to reach their full potential. Together, we can help shape the future of Wellington—one curious mind at a time!
