Nurturing teachers
We are passionate about seeing our children (tamariki) succeed in life. We have the ratios to allow this care to be given everyday.
Going above and beyond
Everyday we have the opportunity to impact the development of our next generation — there is no cutting corners.
Large playspaces
Our centres are designed for kids to be kids. Designed for play, exploration, learning and growth.
Partnering with whānau
We partner closely with families to create a personalised approach enabling each child to prosper.
Age-based playspaces
Our large playspaces in Mairangi Bay offer children something different at each stage of their learning journey. Tailored to encourage natural exploration and development, we grow with your child.

Kiwi Room
3 Months - 2 Years
This room has lots of space to accommodate the developmental stages of rolling, crawling and walking. The environment is designed to help our littlest ones explore and develop at their own pace. We work alongside parents & whānau to help build consistent routines so that it's an easy transition from home to Small Fries.
Tui
2 Years - 3 Years
At this age, children begin to play more interactively with their peers. We focus on developing advanced social play skills, such as sharing and turn-taking. Children learn best when they play, explore and discover according to their interests. Our teachers create an environment where your child feels loved and safe to explore.

3 Years - 6 Years

We are very proud of our transition to school successes. Come for a visit and our teachers will answer all your questions regarding the details of our preschool program.
