Child Preschool Education is a childcare centre at Smales Farm, in AIA House on Taharoto Road, Takapuna, Auckland. A childcare centre based inside a business park like Smales Farm usually exists to serve people working on site, so the main advantage over a suburban centre is proximity, a genuinely short walk between desk and drop-off rather than a drive across town, which makes popping in over a lunch break far more realistic. It's worth checking opening hours carefully though, since a workplace-adjacent centre sometimes runs closer to standard office hours than the longer days a suburban centre might offer, which matters if your own hours run earlier or later than a typical nine-to-five. A centre drawing families from across an entire business campus rather than one neighbourhood also tends to have a broader mix of backgrounds than a local suburban centre would. At Smales Farm in Takapuna, this centre is a workplace-based option for early learning on Auckland's North Shore.
