A Reggio Emilia-inspired early learning centre run by Evolve Education Group, this purpose-built preschool divides children into four dedicated rooms tailored to each developmental stage: the Tūī Room for infants, the Kākāpō Room for toddlers building motor skills, the Kiwi Room for creative play and arts, and the Pūkeko Room for early literacy, numeracy, and school preparation. Tamariki lead their own learning through art, storytelling, and music, alongside regular community events and excursions across indoor and updated outdoor spaces. Families choose between morning sessions from 8.30am to 12.30pm, afternoon sessions from 1.00pm to 5.00pm, or six-hour days between 9.00am and 3.00pm.
Parents particularly appreciate the warm, family vibe, noting how attentive staff take time to understand each child's individual personality, alongside consistent communication and welcoming teachers. Situated at 40-42 Blighs Road in Strowan, it is one of five childcare centres within a kilometre and holds significantly more parent reviews than its neighbours. Our pick in Strowan for families seeking a structured room progression with a genuine community feel.
