Kiwi Educare

Kiwi Educare Kia ora, we are a Rotorua Early Childcare Centre for ages 0-5, located on Vaughan Road in Owhata. We are an early childcare centre based in Rotorua.

Kiwi Educare's goal is for our tamariki to develop a love for learning while also having fun. Our centre works together with whānau and the wider community so that our children grow up supported in all areas of their lives. If you are looking for a childcare centre that cares about learning, fun, and whānau, get in touch with us.

🌸 Spring time means flowers! 🌸

Our tamariki have been loving spring and all the beautiful flowers it brings! 🌼 They have been exploring the colours, shapes and scents of our spring flowers, using these experiences to spark curiosity, conversation and new learning.

Ka puāwai te kōrero, ka puāwai te tamaiti - As the learning blossoms, so does the child.

🌱 Growing Our Green Fingers! 🌱

Our tamariki have been putting their green fingers to work lately! They have been busy planting and caring for a variety of seedlings, from bright and cheerful marigolds to chives and kale. 🌼🌱🥬

It has been wonderful watching the tamariki get involved in the whole process! From carefully planting their seedlings, getting their hands in the soil, watering them and learning about what plants need to grow and thrive. Through this hands-on experience, our tamariki are developing a growing appreciation for kaitiakitanga.

We can’t wait to watch our little seedlings grow and see what we can harvest! 🌱

🛒A little trip to Woolworths!

Our tamariki recently headed off to Woolworths to help collect our groceries for the centre! It was such a wonderful opportunity for the children to be involved in a real-life experience. The children enjoyed helping to find the items on our shopping list, pushing the trolley, making choices, and working together as a team.

This experience reflects Manaakitanga as the children showed care and responsibility by helping collect groceries for our centre, contributing to the wellbeing of our shared environment.

A big thank you to our tamariki for being such helpful little shoppers! 🌟

Our forest Adventure!🎨🐍🌲
Our tamariki have been busy painting rocks ready to add to the Snake Trail in the Redwoods! They put lots of time and care into their colourful designs and were so excited to take their rocks along on our community outing.

We had a wonderful time walking the Snake Trail and finding a special spot to place our painted rocks. It was a fantastic opportunity to connect with our local community and enjoy learning outside of the centre.

Celebrating Father’s Day! 💙
We recently celebrated Father’s Day at the centre by creating some special treats for all the amazing dads, grandads, and fatherly figures in our tamariki’s lives!

Our tamariki had lots of fun making delicious biscuits to share with their special people. And a special thank you to Karen, who lovingly prepared the yummy McMuffins!

A big thank you to all the incredible father figures who support, encourage and love our tamariki every day.

Happy Father’s Day!

A Trip to Palmers!

Our tamariki recently visited Palmers Garden Centre and chose some broccoli, tomato and salad green plants to grow here at the centre! 🥦🍅🥬

This experience supports Kaitiakitanga as tamariki learn to care for and nurture living things, while also building their connection with our community through visiting a local garden centre.

We can’t wait to watch our plants grow! 🌱

🌼 Daffodil Day Fundraiser 🌼
Our tamariki have been showing their manaakitanga by creating their very own Daffodil Day fundraising boxes to take home and collect donations in support of the Cancer Society.

It was wonderful to see our tamariki getting involved in such a meaningful cause and learning about the importance of helping and supporting others within our community.

Together, we are so proud to have raised an amazing $269.40!

A huge thank you to our tamariki, whānau and community for your generous support. 💛

Another new little visitor at Kiwi Educare! 🕊️
Karen has recently brought in a very special little dove who was rescued after falling from its nest. The tamariki have absolutely loved watching our feathered friend and visiting throughout the day. This experience reflects our centre value of Manaakitanga, as we encourage our tamariki to show care, kindness and respect for living things and the world around them. 💚

Māku e tiaki, māku e aroha - I will care for it, I will show it love.

🛝 A Trip to the Park! ☀️

We recently enjoyed a fun little adventure to the park! The tamariki had a wonderful time exploring the playground, running around, climbing, and enjoying the fresh air with their friends.
It was lovely to see so much whanaungatanga, cooperation and tuakana-teina as the children played together, took turns, helped one another and shared lots of smiles and laughter.

Getting out into our local community gives our tamariki opportunities to build confidence, independence and connections while learning through play.

A Special Visitor at Kiwi Educare! 🐑
Aimee has brought in her beautiful lamb from home, Miss Lunabean, for us all to enjoy spending time with! 🌿✨

Our tamariki have been absolutely loving this special experience, soaking up all the gentle pats, smiles, and cuddles with Miss Lunabean. They have enjoyed helping to feed her, spending time with her, and learning about caring for animals.

Having Miss Lunabean visit has created wonderful opportunities for tamariki to develop empathy, responsibility, and a deeper connection with the natural world. Through these meaningful moments, tamariki are learning how to nurture, respect, and care for living things around them.

A big thank you to Aimee for sharing Miss Lunabean with us and allowing our tamariki to experience such a special connection with animals. ❤️

Mā te aroha ka tupu - Through love and care, we grow.
