Everyone remembers that teacher that believed in them, supported them and encouraged them! We set out to be those teachers everyday! We're passionate about our tamariki and want to see them succeed in life. We approach each child with love, warmth and kindness; we're patient, we'll happily answer all of their questions, and we genuinely care about each of our children! We have excellent staff and teacher/child ratios that meet the Ministry of Education's 100% qualified teacher standards, ensuring that your child gets the greatest level of care, attention and support.

Our children at Small Fries enjoy a well prepared, carefully designed program based on Te Whāriki (NZ Ministry of Education Early Childhood Curriculum). Interwoven with our Christian teaching and values, Small Fries is an extraordinary and special place that will support the development of your children's identity and skills. At Small Fries your child will feel secure and happy - the foundation required for any learning, allowing your child to thrive! Our curriculum encompasses all aspects of your children’s day, from the moment they are dropped off right through to when you pick them up. Te Whāriki’s vision is for our children to “grow up as competent and confident learners and communicators, healthy in mind, body and spirit, secure in their sense of belonging and in the knowledge that they make a valued contribution to society” (Ministry of Education, 1996, p. 9).

Our centres are designed with your children in mind! Both centres have great indoor and outdoor areas that are larger than government requirements, designed for play, exploration and learning. By creating fun, dynamic and practical areas, both inside and out, we're providing our children with plenty of opportunities to learn, grow and explore through play, encouraging and enhancing cognitive, physical, emotional and spiritual growth!

Here at Small Fries we're more than just a childcare centre - we're faith based in who we are and what we do, and we're proudly not-for-profit. Small Fries Christian Childcare Centre was birthed out of Windsor Park Baptist Church to be a place that serves families across our community, where our next generation could learn, grow and thrive! Our faith is the cornerstone of who we are, it informs all of our Small Fries values and it is lived out through our hospitality, care and value in community. 

We're a social enterprise that fits under the umbrella of the Windsor Park Hub Ltd - we're not about making money for profit, instead we're all about creating great opportunities for employment, valuing our staff and their working environment (which means that we have high quality teachers, low turn-over, and a better place for your child to learn & thrive), and putting money back into learning resources and equipment within our centres. We're also passionate about helping out families in need, and are intentional about caring for those in both our local communities (in Auckland) and beyond. When you and your children join our Small Fries community, you join us in positively impacting and changing our world for the better!
