Cherry's Early Learning Centre is a privately owned early childhood centre at 45 Riverview Street in Beckenham, Christchurch. It opened in 1991 and is run by Cherry and Richard Howitt. The centre is in a character bungalow on a quarter-acre section, among established trees, with separate play-gardens for younger and older children. It is licensed for children aged 0 to 5.
Each child has a primary caregiver, and the centre runs a daily bicultural focus through waiata, te reo and tikanga Māori. It is an Enviroschool, and it teaches children to care for the land and for each other. A second Cherry's centre is in Hoon Hay, on Maryhill Avenue, which opened in 2009.
