Since 1972, Kindercare Learning Centres in New Zealand has been 100% Kiwi-family owned and run, providing care and education for babies, toddlers and preschoolers. With centres in New Zealand's major cities (Auckland, Christchurch, Wellington, Hamilton and Palmerston North), when it comes to outstanding full and part time care and education, Kindercare is a trusted name in local communities. Our family values form the foundation of our commitment to keep each child entrusted to us Safe, Loved and Learning. Our centres are open Monday to Friday throughout the year, except for NZ statutory holidays. Because each child matters, Kindercare's team are intentional in how they create joy-filled environments that encourage movement and exploration, nurture relationships that are loving and responsive, and foster each child's self-esteem and competence. Our Early Childhood Educators work in partnership with parents, to enable us to develop each child's full potential.
