Albany Community Preschool is a childcare centre at 575 Albany Highway in Albany, on Auckland's North Shore, with enrolment details on its website.
Choosing an early childhood centre is mostly about the feel of the place: teachers who get down to a child's level, unhurried routines, and play that keeps children busy and talking. In New Zealand, licensed centres are reviewed by the Education Review Office, and its reports are published online, so it pays to read the latest one before you enrol. Ask too about teacher-to-child ratios, settling-in visits, and whether a centre offers the government's 20 Hours ECE for three- and four-year-olds. Visiting at pick-up time gives the truest picture of daily life.
Families in Albany and across the North Shore will find the preschool easy to reach on Albany Highway, and a look at its website is a sensible first step.
