Kindergarten 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.””

“Riverhead Montissori is and has been an amazing daycare for my three children. Reminiscent of a kindy, with a well loved environment and wholesome teaches, while still maintaining the child/teacher ratio and morning routine of a traditional Montissori daycare. The centre is well run and flexible, Rachel in admissions is seemingly always available and accomodating. Due to its community values and small country setting I feel that my children have very personalised care. For our family in particular we appreciate that there is always a very calm and happy atmosphere at drop off, I feel that this encourages my children to start a piece of work and allow me to leave without them getting overwhelmed or sad. My children also enjoy the mix of ages within the classrooms, being able to learn from those older than them and care/teach those who are younger. We cannot recommend Riverhead Montissori enough.”

“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”

“Highly recommend! Beautiful caring teachers, who go the extra mile to ensure your aspirations for your babies are being fulfilled, providing you with updates on how they are tracking. Both my boys have loved the meals they make for the kids and thry are always happy by the end of the day on pick up. Love tots!”

“My daughter is very happy here.”

“I visited many centers with my two children before settled at magicland Childcare. The single biggest thing that made me click was their open door policy, unlike many other centers, I was able to spend time with my kids till they were able to wave bye bye to me confidently, without tears, my younger one was turning two and my older one was turning four when they first started. Technically they should have gone to separate rooms, but owner made exception to help the process. So they were able to spend lots of time playing together and it built confidence for them both. Now they still play together and also have their own friends. I changed their sessions a few times and the owner and teachers are experienced and approachable and willing to adapt to my needs. I have come across some highly qualified professionals in the ECE field but when you want someone who is ready to listen and help, there aren't many out there, and here is one of the few.”

“Pure Magic! This is honestly the best daycare centre ever. I feel like a lot of parents don't know about it. It is absolutely incredible. All the the teachers have so much magic with all the children. We are so grateful to be part of Starfish family. All the teachers are so friendly and are so good with the kids that you really feel at ease when you're trusting them with your child. It is their home away from home after all. Our boy found so many lovely friends here, we are forever grateful that we have discovered this centre. There are so many activities for the kids and they learn so much here. The teachers put so much effort into their every day. Thank you all so much! We couldn't be happier. You can really tell that everyone that works here are truly passionate about children and really want to see them learn and explore. One owner based and you can just tell how much effort, passion and magic they have here at Starfish. It is definitely a hidden gem here on the Coast. We are so fortunate to be able to have a place here for our boy. Thank you so much to all the Starfish team, you are absolutely incredible! You make our days every single day! You are truly the best! Nataliya and Tom”

“This is an exceptional daycare. It's our son's first, but we've visited lots of different daycare centres and none come close to this one. The staff in the kiwi room are brilliant and I couldn't ask for any better. The centre design is amazing. Everything is so well organised. Despite us moving far away, we were still tempted to continue taking our son to this daycare, it's that good.”

“I have absolutely loved Ako Adventures. They watched 2 of my children and they grew and thrived in their environment. It was sad that we had to leave due to relocating, but if we were in the area we would definitely come back! All staff were amazing towards me and my family. We thank you so much!!”

“kinz is so good my two children rayyan ali and yash reddy have been going there for 7 years now and they find it amazing !”

“I have lived in Redhill for 15 years. I have worked in the community as a nurse and was a board trustee at Rosehill College. I have heard of awesome mahi done by the principal at Redhill primary school. Kaupapa of whanau and whare for her pupils. Eating together, having a sleep if needed. Wow, amazing kaupapa. I would love to meet this awesome wahine. That's what South Auckland need in all of its schools. Well done, mana wahine.”

“I had 2 kids attending Best Start Sunnyvale (one currently still there) and I couldn't recommend the Centre more! The staff are amazing and run the place to a high standard. The way they interact with kids is so very special. Both of my sons loved and going there.”

“We absolutely love Pukekos. All the staff are so kind and really seem like they love our daughter like we do. The fact that every teacher can tell me what she did that day and how she was really shows how cohesive the centre is. The smaller numbers has been amazing over winter-she's only been off sick once which is unheard of for a 1 year old.”

“ACG Strathallan is my little one's 'home-away-from-home' - she loves spending time here with her friends and teachers. She is thriving and the teachers always have such fun and educational activities to do each and every day - it is never the same! Thank you for a wonderful preschool experience for my little one.”

“My two boys have been to Little school since 2. The learning program they offer is fantastic and has made a huge difference in helping my children adapt to school life smoothly. It's clear that they put a lot of thought and care into preparing the kids for the next steps in their education. I'm very grateful to have found such a supportive and nurturing environment for my boys.”

“Friendly and knowledgeable staff who'll look after your child as their own. My oldest went there and now my youngest one. They have their own chef. Can't recommend them enough.”

“This Kohanga is awesome and I recommended to all who want your children to learn Te Reo... Whaea an Matua are awesome to be around...”

“My son had a great time at preschool. He learned a lot from the teachers. All the teachers here are very kind and friendly.”

“The sweetest little community preschool, and loveliest teachers, some who have taught all three of our kids, the older two now 17 and 11, with their little sister two years old, having just joined this year. Still just as lovely as always, lots of educational activities, lots of learning, play and interaction with teachers. Good routine structure. Highly recommend.”

“We love CK! Both my boys have been going since they were 1yo and have the best time. The teachers are so kind and we have always felt so welcome”

“Secret Garden is one of the best childcare in the area. Splendid environment and kau kaiako are so nice and professional. Strongly recommended!”

“The most amazing kinder garden my two children attended and graduated; they love learning thanks to all our amazing teachers.”

“I went there 29 years ago and now both my girls have and are still going there. Thank you team for your amazing ability with all the kids you have. Thank you and see you next week!!”

“Both my girls attended this centre from 6 months old, up until they went to school. Our family had a great experience here, would highly recommend.”

“Highly recommend this center if you love nature, it's a beautiful place run by beautiful people.”

“Amazing lovely and caring staff. Highly recommend this centre.”

“A great centre that both of our girls have grown up in. Solid and supportive relationships built with teachers and other children, with plenty of opportunity for play and learning. An amazing team who we will miss when both have moved on to school.”

“My son(turning 3 years old ) is here almost 1 year now. they are look after him very well. He is so happy. Every morning he prepare himself to go to school. I like them.”
