“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.””

“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.”

“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.”

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

“My son has been at Connect Preschool for just over a year and he absolutely loves it.. He's excited everyday to be there. The teachers are all lovely, nurturing and are excellent with the kids.. We just love it!!”

“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.”

“My 3 boys love Playcentre. Wally started when he was about 16 months, Scottie 1 month and Bo since a newborn. It is a safe, happy place for my tamariki where they learn, play with friends, explore and enjoy playing with Mama and other parents. Thank you Glendene Playcentre for being a special part of our children's upbringing.”

“After a few bad experiences at other daycares, I finally found the perfect fit for my daughter at young learners. All the staff are amazing and really get to know everything about your child, the ratios are great and there is excellent communication and daily updates. You really feel like everyone there really cares about your child and my daughter is so happy to go everyday. The facilities are great and always super clean, and the lunches are always healthy and delicious!”

“A very special daycare. The attention to detail in the design is like nothing I have seen before. Staff are amazing too. Perfect place for all special little ones.”

“Absolutely love this daycare. My daughter has been here for just under a year and is now venturing off into primary next week. I love that this daycare incorporates te ao maori and is culturally diverse in general. It is always clean and tidy, and the environment has such a welcoming energy. I appreciate all the kaiako here, they are always smiling and have held some awesome whanau/tamariki events since we have been here. They open nice and early and are quite flexible also. I appreciate that they provide kai also. My daughter talks about Mokopuna every day when she comes home from school and it is always positive stories about her friends, kaiako or what she got up to at school. I havent experienced a negative situation at all here. Enrolment was quick and easy, induction was for 1 day and it didnt take my girl long to settle in. We will really miss Mokopuna ki Roscommon. If you have pepi and are looking forsomewhere for your kids, I recommend this centre. Based in Manurewa, Auckland.”
