Kaiako (Non-Certificated) Henderson

Filled with laughter, learning adventures, and big outdoor spaces to explore, our centre is a place where Tamariki can play, discover, and let their imaginations run wild! From giant sandpits and swings to huge playgrounds and flowing indoor-outdoor spaces, every day is packed with fun, creativity, and meaningful moments.

Our toddler room is a warm, nurturing environment where curious little learners are encouraged to explore, build confidence, and develop at their own pace. We create meaningful learning experiences through play, support growing independence, and love spending time outdoors. We also enjoy heading out on local hīkoi during the term, giving our Tamariki the opportunity to connect with the world around them.

What really makes our centre special is our team. We’re fun, relaxed, kind, and genuinely enjoy spending time together — like one big happy whānau!
