We are a family-friendly early learning centre in central Upper Hutt.  Our philosophy is to recognise and support the central role of whānau and culture in the lives of our tamariki, building on the kete/basket of knowledge each tama/child brings from their home culture.  We will work in partnership with you to nurture and develop your child in a holistic way to become a competent and confident young learner.
