“Howick Kindergarten entrance is from the Wellington St. If see on the map it seems like it is on the Waterloo St. But it is not and it is from Wellington St. There is a small sign board "Howick Kindergarten" on the entrance of the by road. Cannot imagine there will be such a nice kindergarten inside that road. The staff and teachers are very nice, very friendly and helpful and taking good care of the kids. Inside the kindergarten, there are plenty of activities kids can do. Sometimes we cannot find this much of activities even in big place. Kids can play with sand and some sand activities with toys and many kids enjoying this. They have the freedom to do whatever they like there. Some containers kids can collect water and some kids make holes and filling water, some kids filling sand to containers, some filling sand to trucks and they are enjoying very much. Next to that, there are some activities area, like sliding, climbing, rope activities, and some other I don't know the names. Inside the classrooms there are activities like different kind puzzles, watercolor painting activity, then small carpentry workshop with all the hammers, screwdrivers, goggles, saw, nails, pliers, clamp, leveling instrument, and some other instruments, And there is a big basin and teachers fill up the water to that basin and kids allow to do some water sports, floating boats, filling different water bottles, different shapes, funnels,.......etc, Then around 10:30am, school arrange kids with milk and fruits. And the day I stayed with my son, (as he was crying I had to stay with him sometime there inside the kindergarten), I saw teachers made fried rice with kids, teachers advise and show them hot to clean and cut vegetables and kids do it as a activities and everything did with kids help and I saw kids were enjoying that very much and at the end, everybody eat fried rice as lunch and it was amazingly delicious. My son ate 2 times the fried rice. Some kids playing with play houses, some are doing some painting and drawing. some are playing all the time. And there are more activities to do. I saw next to classrooms, there is a nice garden with flowers and kids enjoying that garden too. And there are many other activities kids can do and I just told what I saw and notice only. so, it was an amazing experience for me, looking at the kids and how the teachers let kids to do different activities and give them such a nice experience where kids cannot have at homes. My son was crying and teachers were trying their best to make him calm and their service and efforts beyond someone can expect. So, I have no hesitation to recommend this place for anybody looking for a kindergarten. And I'm putting this note as a privilege and to respect their polite service and honest efforts for looking after kids.”

“Amazing staff, super happy to have my little baby girl there. The staff there treat her as if she's their own.”

“We enrolled my son when he was just 18months old, as we had just emigrated from South Africa, leaving behind all friends and family and the teachers were amazing and super supportive, they became our family away from family! So when my daughter came around, I never had any concerns of enrolling her at just 4 months. My kids are both now in primary school and their time at Lollipops is always looked back on fondly by us all.”

“My son loves it there, been going for 1 year now. All the teachers are really caring and passionate about what they do. Great activities and play areas”

“We're so happy to have chosen The Learning Space to look after our 6 month old and haven't looked back once. Care takers have a genuine passion for helping children grow, become independent and learn great values. We always have 100% trust in every one there. The concept and philosophy at TLS are very special and unique, definitely worth checking out when considering daycare centres.”

“ACG Parnell Early Education Centre has been an incredible place for our son, and we are grateful every day that we made the move. One of the standout strengths is the food. Every meal is handmade, fresh, and truly varied. Our son eats a wide range of foods there—many that he refuses at home—which speaks to both the quality of the meals and the amazing skill of the chef. The care that goes into feeding the children is something special. The teaching team is another highlight. The teachers work together beautifully, creating a space that balances free play with structure. Our son gets to explore, learn, and grow at his own pace, while still having routines that support his development. Jenny has done a remarkable job leading the centre. She supports the children, the parents, and the teachers in a way that builds genuine trust and community. We moved our son to ACG Parnell for better preparation for primary school, and we feel strongly that it was the best decision we could have made. The growth we’ve seen in him—socially, emotionally, and academically—has been outstanding. We couldn’t be happier with the centre and highly recommend it to any family looking for exceptional early education.”

“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.”
