Otago Polytechnic Childcare Centre is a childcare centre at 114A Forth Street in Dunedin North, across the road from the Otago Polytechnic Dunedin campus. It cares for children from birth to five years, in a mixed-age setting with a designated space for infants and toddlers.
Priority enrolment is for children of Otago Polytechnic students studying at least 0.5 FTE and of Otago Polytechnic staff. Other local children are welcome if places are available. The website says the fees are discounted for these families, and it lists 30 hours of free education a week for children aged 3 to 5. Flexible options are offered to fit study timetables and family needs. The centre says its teacher-to-child ratios are higher than many kindergartens.
