Early childhood education centres
Find out about our early childhood education centres and where they are located.
The University of Auckland has eight early childhood education centres:
- Three on the City Campus.
- Two at the Grafton Campus.
- Two at the Epsom Campus.
- One at the Tāmaki Campus.
At the City Campus there is a Te Kohanga Reo, and at the Epsom Campus there is a bilingual centre.
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 supervisor to arrange a suitable time for you both, as there are times of the day that are very busy in an early childhood centre.
