Child center in Auckland

“I am grateful to Sunbeams whānau for having taken good care of my two kids. We are so blessed to have the best teachers support our children's learning, self-discovery, holistic development. Most of all, you have a planted a beautiful seed of the living Word of God, His love embodied, ever present in our lives in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Matthew 19:14 Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.””

“I have recently just moved to Orewa, I had exhausted all resources available to get advice. I'll be forever be thankful to the staff here. I don't have words to say how that first visit gave me the strength I needed on this day. I look forward to many more visits with my girls. I will be enrolling them in the holiday programme, check these out!”

“One of the best centres out there. All the staff are friendly, diligent and maintains a fun atmosphere for the children. Communication and regular updates are also something the centre does so well- keep up the great work.”

“After debating what type of bed would be safest for our toddler daughter, we found the Montessori house bed. We were thrilled to find a local Montessori craftsman. After some struggles with getting the bed put together right, they came out and fixed what we had done to make sure it was sturdy and safe. We love the bed, the fun frame, and the safety that the floor bed provides.”

“New and well organised. Good comunication and feedback.”

“Wonderful people to work with, always looking out for the kid's making sure they are happy and having fun! We love to dance and sing. Making things and seeing how they work, sand castle's and deep holes in the sand. Lovely food for the kid's and sleep time too. Ready for story time, how are your A B C's? Come and see for yourself!”

“My son has been attending Little Royals Montessori Preschool since they opened. He absolutely loves his time there. As a mom, I am always concerned about who I leave my son with, and I can't recommend the amazing staff enough. They provide genuine care, healthy food, diapers, and everything my son needs on a daily basis. The weekly activities are well-planned, and the communication with the staff is excellent.”

“I just want to say that this is such a wonderful place. It is friendly, cosy, warm and has that family sense that I was looking for. My mums has been looking after my baby since she was born, I was worried that my girl wouldn't adapt to the day care environment as she has been so attached to my mum. However the lovely staff make us feel like at home. We love you guys.”

“Came to check out with friend for her kid to enroll. A great child care centre. Everyone is so friendly and helpful with, felt this will be another home away from home for kids. Great!”

“We are really happy with Busy Bees Onehunga. The teachers are wonderful, caring, and supportive, and the manager runs everything so well. They always provide great updates about our child’s learning and personal development, which makes us feel very confident and comfortable. Our child enjoys coming here every day, and we truly appreciate the positive environment they have created. Highly recommend this center!”

“The teachers at our place are awesome. My 2 year old has learned so many things there. Highly recommend!!”

“What a fantastic Pre School, Amazing teachers and a great start to any little persons educational life.”

“I was invited and had the pleasure of attending a family event at this kindergarten together with parents and children, and I was very impressed. The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and full of positive energy. The teachers and staff created a lovely environment where everyone felt included and comfortable. A truly heart-warming experience that reflects the wonderful community spirit of the kindergarten!”

“We've had friends who have sent there childen to A Step Ahead and highly recommended them. We've already booked in our child into the centre when they are old enough.”

“I can’t speak highly enough of Shining Stars . It has been an absolute blessing for our whānau. The ECC teachers go above and beyond for our tamariki, showing incredible patience, compassion, and dedication to teaching them so much more than I ever expected. They nurture not just learning but also confidence, curiosity, and kindness. I love how they celebrate every child’s uniqueness and encourage them every step of the way. The themed days like Wheels Day are always a hit with the kids, and it’s clear the teachers put a lot of thought and care into creating fun, educational experiences. From hatching chickens to learning how make use of eggs , gardening, baking, cooking ,the hands-on learning is just beautiful to witness. My little ones are always coming home with new knowledge and stories to share. It gives me peace of mind knowing they’re in such a safe, caring, and inspiring environment. I currently have both my youngest enrolled, and I honestly feel so lucky to have found Shining Stars when I did. Each morning drop-off comes with a little sadness, knowing we’re one day closer to saying goodbye when they move on to primary school. A special thank you to Mandy and Liz who always provide thoughtful updates and feedback about what the kids are learning and how we can keep it going at home. I’m truly grateful to all the amazing ladies for everything they do. I see you,every single one of you .Shining Stars is exactly that – a shining star in our community.”
