Early childhood centres

Find out about our early childhood education centres and where they are located.

There are seven university-managed early childhood centres at our City, Epsom and Grafton campuses, available for students and staff at the University and, if space allows, members of our local communities. Of the seven, two are Māori-centric with one on the City Campus and another at our Epsom Campus.

All centres are staffed by qualified, experienced and caring people who provide a safe, nurturing environment and high standards of early childhood education.

As a parent or caregiver, you’re welcome to visit, explore and ask questions about any of these facilities. We suggest that you phone the Centre Leader to arrange a suitable time for you both, as there are times of the day that are very busy in an early childhood centre.

For information about all EC centres and Kohanga Reo, please contact Cherie Boyd.
