Kindergarten in Auckland

“The team at Coast Montessori are absolutely wonderful!! Their love, care and passion is truly remarkable. With separate zones focusing on different skills, I know my child is being developed in all the different learning aspects. My daughter loves it so much that it is a mission getting her to leave every day. Highly recommended!”

“We love Montessori beginnings! My daughter is always happy to go and she talks about how much she loves it. The teachers are nurturing and attentive, and I appreciate all of them. We couldn’t be happier with our choice to have our daughter go here!”

“We are blessed to have our child attending this preschool. She settled in very well from day one even though we came from another country. I can tell from a lot of details that this is a loving and caring place. Educators are passionate to work here and kids here and their parents are lovely. A wonderful experience for all of us.”

“My youngest boy spent over two years at brightbears preeschool and had the most amazing time! The teachers are all so amazing and really made us feel like a family. They are super caring but also make the kids independent and help then get prepared for school. My boy knew how to count, spell and write certain words before he even went to school and it was all thanks to them. They don't have huge enrollments which makes it even nicer and after trying three other preschools/daycare in the area I'm so glad we found you guys. Highly recommend.”

“Dear Coast Kids on Karepiro Team, I hope this message finds you well. As my daughter goes to school today, I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you at Coast Kids on Karepiro. The journey from my daughter's first day with you to this point has been nothing short of incredible. Your unwavering dedication, warmth, and professionalism have created an environment where my daughter not only felt safe and secure but also thrived in her early years. Your commitment to providing a nurturing space for her to learn, grow, and develop has been invaluable. The memories she has made, the friendships she has formed, and the skills she has acquired under your guidance are immeasurable. It's evident that you all have a genuine passion for what you do, and it reflects in the smiles of the children who attend your center. Sending my daughter to daycare was not just about finding a place for her while we worked; it was about entrusting her well-being, growth, and happiness to a team of professionals who truly care. Your team has exceeded our expectations in every way, and we are deeply thankful for the positive impact you have had on my daughter's formative years. As she embarks on her next adventure in school, she carries with her the solid foundation and love that she received at Coast Kids on Karepiro. Your role in shaping her early experiences will forever be appreciated and remembered. Thank you, once again, for the outstanding care, support, and guidance you have provided to my daughter. We are grateful to have had Coast Kids on Karepiro as a part of our family's journey. Warm regards,”

“Our Little One is thriving and the teachers are amazing. They genuinely care and are so loving and warm.”

“My daughter attended Our Kids Glendene from 10 months old until starting school. The level of care she received was consistently excellent. The team clearly care deeply for the children at this centre, and have been easy to communicate with at all times. My daughter has been well supported in her emotional and social development and the team have established a strong foundation for her learning journey. She has happily started school as a confident and well-rounded girl, which is in large part thanks to the team at Our Kids Glendene.”

“A great wee daycare. All the staff are lovely and our son is really happy here.”

“Lovely and caring staff. Went above and beyond my expectations. Highly recommended.”

“The queen of my heart and the queen of this kohanga”

“Amazing, Friendly and fun teachers. All three of my children attend/attended Kindercare Rewa and have all been under great care. Our eldest has just moved onto Primary School, however she still talks about her Preschool teachers. Which demonstrates the closeness and genuine relationships she had built with her teachers at Kindercare. I couldn’t recommend them more, they are supportive and caring of our kids and very welcoming of us parents. Thank you Kindercare for always creating a fun and safe environment for our kids to thrive in everyday.”

“Our kohanga reo spent a beautiful day at there kohanga today...lovely got no photos...”

“My daughter has been with NewShoots Whenuapai for the last three years and she’s absolutely loved it. The teachers are all so friendly and provide so much love and care. My daughter has really enjoyed the delicious variety of food and we love how healthy it is. The managers and receptionists are also amazing as they’ve always been so good with their communication and super supportive for our family. Overall we have loved our time at NewShoots and highly recommend this centre”

“I would recommend this daycare to anyone. They are friendly and welcoming, my child is always happy everytime I drop him off or when he comes home.”

“My daughter attends this daycare, she loves it here so much. She learns new things everyday and loves to sing and dance more now! The staff are such a very supportive lovely bunch. My only regret is that I wish I signed All my children up to go here that’s how amazing the team is here at Mount Royal. Thank you so much! ❤️”

“Teachers at kelly's preschool care for kids as if their own family. My kid is always excited and happy to go to kindy.”

“Tree-hugging hippies the lot of them. I approve.”

“The Learning Corner is a warm welcoming daycare and we are 100% happy with their wonderful care. Each day we are greeted like family by both the lovely teachers and gorgeous kids. The sugar-free policy puts us at ease knowing our son is going to get good healthy (and yummy) meals each day, and he comes home buzzing about the things he has learnt during the day through their discussions and playing. Our boy has thrived there, and we have recommended The Learning Corner to many of our friends. Thanks guys – you’re awesome!”

“Great staff and support environment. Both our daughters have enjoyed attending beststart papatoetoe over the past years. They have learned a lot and made great relationships with peers and teachers”

“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 couldn’t speak more highly of A Child’s Place. We enrolled our one-year-old son after a tough experience at a previous centre, so I was naturally cautious. But Megan and the incredible infant room team went above and beyond to ensure he felt safe, settled, and genuinely cared for. One thing that really stood out to us was the primary caregiving model — having a consistent teacher who took the lead in building a strong bond with our son made a huge difference, especially as he wasn’t very familiar or comfortable with others in the beginning. He now looks forward to daycare each day — his face lights up at the mention of his teachers’ names, he runs off happily at drop-off, and I’m always greeted with the biggest smile at pick-up. The teachers are constantly engaged with the kids — whether they’re on the floor reading, outside exploring, or sitting alongside them at mealtimes, you can tell the care is genuine. The centre itself is always spotless and well-organised, and the team are incredibly responsive to any needs or changes we’ve raised. We were especially grateful for the support and advice they offered when we were navigating some sleep struggles. The care and attention to detail in sharing updates, milestones (big and small), and daily happenings make it feel like so much more than just childcare — it’s a true community and family. I’ll be forever grateful to Megan, Ross, and the team for creating such a warm, nurturing environment, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend A Child’s Place to anyone”
