Phoenix Preschool is a childcare centre at 35 Middle Road in Allenton, Ashburton. Its website is phoenixpreschool.co.nz.
According to its website, Phoenix Preschool is a non-profit, community-based preschool that aims to be a nurturing environment, with a strong sense of belonging and secure, meaningful relationships, where every family becomes part of the whānau. The site describes two indoor learning spaces, Te Rūma Kiwi and Te Rūma Pūkeko, each with its own expansive outdoor learning area, so tamariki can grow in their own time and space. For families weighing up options, visiting while children are there is the best way to see how teachers speak with them and how the day feels. It also helps to ask about enrolment, hours, fees and how the centre keeps parents informed. Putting a name down early is wise, as places can fill.
For families in Allenton and across Ashburton, Phoenix Preschool on Middle Road is a local early childhood centre to visit and ask about.
