Brightlands Childcare Centre at 53 Vickery Street in Te Rapa, Hamilton, is part of the Brightlands Early Education Group, which runs early childhood centres in Hamilton and Auckland. The group describes its centres as new, purpose-built and designed to be innovative, encouraging and supportive. The group's guiding phrase, "Let the uniqueness of the child guide our work," sets the tone for its early learning, with a focus on each child's overall development, thinking skills and interactions with other children. The group's other centres are at Hamilton Lake and Airport Oaks in Mangere Bridge, Auckland.
Families can book a tour to see the rooms and meet some of the teachers. The group says its values are to work as one for children, parents and communities, to own its actions, to value every voice, and to strive to be the best. It also says children are at the heart of everything it does, and that family and whānau are its primary partners. Parents who want to know more can get in touch through the group's website, where each centre's contact details are listed.
