Our rooms

Babies through to kindy age

Three rooms, small numbers, and a garden the children are in most days, wet or fine.

Nest room, 0 to 2

A calm, low ratio room for our youngest, with primary caregivers so babies build a real relationship with their teacher.

Rimu room, 2 to 3

More independence and more time outside, with a programme built around what each child is curious about that week.

Kauri room, 3 to 5

School readiness woven into play, with visits to local schools in term four for children heading off the following year.

About us

A family-owned centre since 2009

Little Kauri was opened by Hana and Dave Morrison in 2009 after years teaching in bigger centres left them wanting something smaller. It is still owner-operated, with a head teacher who has been here from the start.

We keep our numbers below what our licence allows, because smaller rooms mean our teachers actually know every child well.

Fees and funding

20 hours ECE funding applies for children aged 3 to 5. Fees for hours outside that, and for under 3s, are charged weekly.

From $7.50 an hour outside funded hours

WINZ subsidies are accepted. Ask us about your child's individual entitlement when you enrol.
