Sport & School & Kindergarten in New Zealand

“This centre truly deserves more than just 5 stars. Phoebe and her incredible team are amazing with the kids. I have a non-verbal 4-year-old daughter, and since she started here, she has become so much more vocal! She even puts her own shoes away at home and washes her hands with soap. My autistic child used to struggle with following instructions, but since joining BSMC last year, she's made tremendous progress. Believe me when I say, I tried nearly 10 different centres before finding this one. From the moment I walked in, I felt something different, and I knew this was the right place for my girl. The staff are so patient and understanding with her. She absolutely loves going to daycare and always says "excited" when I drop her off. They make her feel safe and loved, and as a parent, what more could you ask for?”

“Very good day care . Ever since my son has joined he has gained alot of confidence. Made new friends and is always happy to go there. We could see the happiness in his eyes everyday and that's all we want from any daycare. So happy !!!”

“Our family loves Red Kite Preschool, we make the daily effort to travel 30minutes in traffic each day because the staff are so welcoming, professional and knowledgeable. We love that they have male teachers as role models, and that some of the teachers speak Mandarin & Cantonese to our children who are of Chinese decent. We did not hesitate to send our 2nd child into the baby room, as we know that the she is cared for with lots of love and adoration ”

“We have our son (4y) and daughter (1.5y) at BestStart Remuera road. I really feel like we hit the jackpot with this daycare. There is a real focus on our daughter's development in the baby room. They really care about her and she loves going everyday. I have noticed her recently excelling in her speech and even has started identifying colours. I was so nervous at first as it took her a while to settle – the staff were calm and reassured me of what is normal and I'm glad to now see her toddle in willingly! In the 2y and over room it's mixed ages like that of Kindergarten and they have started a "school ready" program for the 4y+ preschoolers. I feel like my own IQ has been bolstered by what my son has learnt over the past few months. He knows so much about the solar system and has started writing his name. The expertise the teachers here bring is definitely more than I ever hoped for. More than happy with Remuera Road!”

“Great place to practise Aikido. Classes are offered for all levels and there's a range of skilled instructors. Good atmosphere and great people to train with. Highly recommend.”

“We love Remuera Montessori so much. It’s a warm and caring environment with wonderful teachers who truly put their hearts into everything they do. There are many fun and well-planned activities every month, our son has grown so much in both learning and confidence. We’re truly thankful for the love, care, and dedication the teachers have given him.”

“Epsom Community Crèche is a hidden gem! The beautiful garden is a haven for kids to explore and play, and the natural toys are perfect for sparking their imagination and creativity. The team is warm, caring, and dedicated to providing a nurturing environment. Highly recommend!”

“Before coming to this place, I had no experience in using photoshops and knowledge regarding designs. Their classes provided detailed use of arts and photoshop. And overall the concepts of design.,which in a way prepare for the future and give insights into what this field is really about.”

“Mina's a truly exceptional piano teacher. Her ability to connect with young children is remarkable. When my son, Alex, first started lessons at age 5, Mina's patience and understanding made learning fun. She's always encouraging, pushing him to reach his full potential while considering his age and developmental stage. I appreciate how Mina prepares concerts twice a year. These performances provide invaluable stage experience, helping Alex build confidence and overcome any performance anxiety. Her ability to tailor the lessons to Alex's interests is a huge plus. By incorporating pieces he enjoys, she's fostered a genuine love of music and playing the piano. I wholeheartedly recommend Mina as a piano teacher. Not only has she taught Alex piano skills, but she's also helped him grow as a person. Her dedication, expertise, and caring nature make her an outstanding instructor.”

“We have had two of our children attend Kadimah preschool, they have had the most incredible care and experience there. And set them up so well for their next stages in education. The teachers, the approach, the facilities and the board are all top notch! Nothing compares as we have tried it all, public Kindy’s, other secular preschools and Kadimah is by far the Best! We couldn’t recommend it more highly!”

“The classes are amazing and engaging. We first enrolled our daughter to the classes and eventually my husband and I too joined in the adults classes. Every class is different, everyone’s ability is considered and options are provided. We learn something new in each class so we look forward to attend training every week. Highly recommend the centre for Taekwondo training for all ages.”

“I’ve trained here almost 9 months now, walking in as an absolute beginner with no previous martial arts or combat sport experience. My body has changed significantly, and I have definition in my muscles for the first time in my life. My cardio has improved significantly. Sime is an excellent coach, and so patient with myself (slow learner) and my roudy kids. I highly commend him for that. He definitely knows what he’s doing. I feel safe and supported in this learning environment and confident to go at my own pace. I’ve witnessed many of the fighters compete and win Golds multiple times, thanks to Sime and his coaching. The community at Eastside Grapplers has become like family to my kids and I due to the family friendly vibes. My kids enjoy training here as well and have made so many friends! The gym itself is clean and hygienic. Close to home, and affordable for my family and I. I’ve introduced this gym to my friends and cousins and would absolutely recommend to trial a class to others.”

“We moved to Auckland from the US and were nervous about our daughter starting a new school in a new country. BBEC has been offered such a kind, warm and fun environment that has helped her transition to be very seamless. Our daughter looks forward to seeing her teachers and her friends each day. It gives us a lot of peace of mind to know that she’s in good hands and in a fun learning environment each day.”

“Dear Sunshine Christian Preschool Team, We just want to express again our sincerest gratitude to everyone who has been part of Matthieu’s journey at Sunshine, especially Teachers Kathrina, Suzie, Selena, Tessa, Eseta, Joy, and Grace. Thank you for helping him grow into such a confident, kind, and happy young boy. To everyone, we truly appreciate the love, patience, and dedication you’ve shown every day, especially in supporting his individual goals and nurturing him with strong Christian values. A very special thank you to Teacher Kathrina for facilitating the Filipino classes. It truly meant so much to our family. These classes helped Matthieu embrace his Filipino culture and gave him a deeper sense of belonging at school, especially since we speak Filipino at home. Seeing that part of his identity reflected and supported in the classroom made a big difference in his confidence and how he connected with others. We’ll always remember how excited he was to share stories about his day. About his friends, the activities he enjoyed, and of course, his teachers. It was clear how much he loved being at Sunshine and how deeply he felt connected to all of you. Please know that what you do each day goes far beyond just a job. The children truly look up to you and see you as part of their extended family. You are helping shape their early years in such a meaningful way, and we hope you feel proud of the incredible impact you're making. We will always be grateful to Sunshine Christian Preschool and to everyone who has played a role in Matthieu’s early learning journey. Thank you so much for everything. Warm regards, Eric and Leah”

“A great environment for children to build inner confidence and resilience individually all while been part of a team , a safe , happy atmosphere paired with strong guidance and leadership”

“My son started in the Kahurangi room when he was 7 months old and is just about to turn 1. I couldn’t have asked for a better start for him, the teachers are all wonderful and caring and make a fab team. My son is thriving and loves going to daycare. Would definitely recommend 100%”

“My daughter is very happy here and has made some good friends. Her carers are friendly and approachable and the centre is willing to invite feedback and improve services to help foster development at every stage. There is a great outdoor play area at the centre, as it's an older building and has a bit more space. I would also give credit to the events the centre plans and the level of effort that goes into bringing families together.”

“The best preschool we could have ever hoped for! Kumeu Montessori has been such a huge part of our lives — our daughter started here when she was just shy of a year old, and now, as she prepares to head off to school, we’re feeling so grateful for every moment she’s spent in their care. Even after we moved 30 minutes away, we never once considered changing preschools — that’s how much she loves it, and how much we trust the amazing team here. The teachers are beyond incredible — warm, nurturing, and so genuinely invested. They feel more like extended family than just teachers. Our daughter has absolutely thrived — emotionally, socially, and intellectually — and that’s thanks to the beautiful, calm, and inspiring environment they’ve created. If you’re looking for a daycare or preschool where your child will be truly seen, loved, and supported, I can’t recommend Kumeu Montessori highly enough. It’s such a special place and will always hold a huge place in our hearts.”

“I will strongly recommend Kingsway Preschool Silverdale. My son spent an amazing year here. They have excellent management and system and allow parents to know everything from school in time. All teachers are patient, creative and always have smiles on their faces. Thanks for everything. :)”

“I have followed the IOAI for many years and watched the Institute develop into an all round - open minded club that throws politics out the door and lets students learn at their own pace and their own competent level no matter what style they practice in their own dojo. I have brought a few of my own students to his seminars that are packed with so much information and training ideas from some very high tier instructors who are more than willing to help out any and all visitors. Head instructor Sensei Dunken Francis is not afraid to pressure test any techniques and look at cross-training with other styles, something not often found in the dojos with old style attitudes. Highly recommended!”

“I started classes at reconnection training last summer and they have been absolutely amazing for so many reasons. I consider myself as reasonably fit with an active physical job, Gabrielle always pushes me to reach new strengths and boundaries whilst looking out meticulously at form and movement. The classes are always very varied and different and have strong movement focus which has increased my flexibility and strength in muscles I didn't even know I had. I always come away feeling muscle soreness (in a good way) I love that the sessions are outdoors on the beach when the weather omits and it's such a great start to the day with swims in the sea afterwards (totally optional lol) We always have a great laugh when working out and there's always people of varying abilities which are all accommodated for. I couldn't recommend these classes enough!”

“I have had my two boys through Little Poppy's and they have had the best time there. They have a large outdoor area which is perfect for my busy boys. The teachers are very nurturing and always plan for exciting and fun experiences for the children. My children also rave about the meals, which as a parent, is comforting knowing that they are well fed. I highly recommend Little Poppy's Preschool to anyone wanting a homely, safe and fun environment for your precious little ones.”

“My son is very happy here at Beststart Whangaparaoa. The staff are kind and caring, my son has a good bond with all of them. I know he’s in good hands when I leave. He’s happy, confident and thriving there. Would recommend Best Start Whangaparaoa to everyone!”
