Little Seed Early Learning Centre is an eco-friendly, holistic childcare centre at 42 Reelick Avenue in Pakuranga, Auckland, and it cares for children up to five years old. Its most distinctive feature is the Little Fantail food garden, set beside the Kauri forest outdoor playground. It follows permaculture ideas, and the children grow their own vegetables, herbs and fruit there, so they see where food comes from.
The centre serves locally grown, healthy food and uses non-toxic products and resources. Its teaching programme aims to help children learn to live in harmony with nature and with the living things around them.
Families are welcome to visit at any time, and tours can be booked by phoning (09) 5760795 or through the enquiry form on the website. We hear there was a winter offer of 50 per cent off the first three months of enrolment, so check before you enrol.
