Children's entertainment in New Zealand

“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’ve been lucky enough to visit the facilities in NZ and partake in many of Toni and Robin’s workshops. Their competence, love and passion for what they do is unbelievable and contagious.

“Fundies is an extraordinary place where my three children have truly thrived. From the moment we stepped through the doors, we were greeted with warmth and enthusiasm from the staff, creating a welcoming environment for both children and parents. The teachers at Fundies are compassionate and genuinely care about the well-being and development of each child. I love the perfect balance of learning through play-based activities, Fundies is equipped with everything needed to facilitate a stimulating learning environment while having lots of FUN with peers and teachers What truly sets Fundies apart is the sense of community and family that they have cultivated. The communication with parents is excellent, keeping us informed and involved in our children's progress throughout each day they attend on the Storypark App. I am grateful for the positive impact every teacher at Fundies have had on my children's lives and highly recommend them to any parent looking for a nurturing and enriching preschool for their little ones.”

“This is the best daycare ever! The staff is incredibly professional, and the administrator, Lisa, is always flexible and kind. I should also mention the kindness of the toddler room teachers. I feel very comfortable sending my son, Theon to daycare.”

“Great learning centre! My son really enjoyed his days here even tho it was for a short time. He had the best teachers Anna and harpreet who always welcomed my child with big smiles and has helped him grow and connect with other kids. The other staff in the facility are all welcoming and kind aswell but My son has gained so much independence being here which has helped him start at the kindercare in rototuna. Really recommend this daycare, best centre ever.”

“Our son goes to this centre and he loves it there. When I pick him up I always get a run through on how his day was and if there was any issues. They give us monthly written updates (which also gets sent to the grandparents) on how he is progressing and what he is interested in at daycare. This includes photos and videos which is awesome to see how he’s enjoying it there. I would recommend this centre and have had no troubles there. All the teachers I have interacted with have been amazing which makes it a lot easier leaving your little one there.”

“The best kindergarten All the staff are very nice and friendly. My son was there and stayed there until he was five years old. My daughter is still there and she has been there since she was one year old and now she is four years old. I highly recommend it.”
