About Bayview Early Learning Centre

A community-run, not-for-profit early learning centre at 72 Bayview Road, Bayview, on Auckland's North Shore. It sits under the Bayview Community Centre, next to Bayview School, and the entrance is behind the bus stop on Bayview Road. The centre is licensed for up to 36 children, and takes children from 3 months to 5 years old. It is part of the Bayview Community Centre and is connected to the bush and natural environment around it, with regular excursions into the local area.

The centre runs a mixed-age setting that follows Te Whāriki, the New Zealand early childhood curriculum. Its programme is based on children's interests and strengths, and it links with Bayview Primary to prepare children for school. Hours are Monday to Friday, 7.30am to 5.30pm, and the centre is closed over Christmas and New Year. Enrolled children get up to one week of sick leave a year without charge, if notice is given. The waitlist is closed for all age groups until late 2027, and the centre asks families looking for a place from 2028 onwards to check its enrolment information. The phone number is (09) 443 8144.
