Reliever (Non-Certificated) Te Puke

• Well-resourced centre in a fantastic location
• Be part of a fun and supportive team environment
• Onsite parking

Situated in the centre of Te Puke township, our centre is a vibrant, welcoming space where strong relationships and a true sense of whānau are at the heart of everything we do. Surrounded by natural, open spaces and real grass under little feet, our environment invites tamariki to explore, connect with Papatūānuku, and learn through play in a calm, organic setting.

With two spacious rooms for our pēpi and tamariki, our centre is full of life, laughter, and learning. Our days are guided by a child-led, play-based approach, with rolling kai, meaningful routines, and plenty of opportunities to head out on adventures to the local park and library. We are a busy, dynamic centre where curiosity is encouraged, individuality is celebrated, and every child is supported to grow with confidence and mana.

Our team is supportive, experienced, and truly values kotahitanga — working together to uplift one another. We embrace and celebrate diversity every day, creating an inclusive environment where every tamariki and whānau feel a strong sense of belonging. Te Reo Māori is an important part of our practice, naturally woven throughout our programme and supported by passionate kaiako within the team.
