Rainbow Kids Childcare is a modern, purpose-built daycare at 191 Anglesea Street in central Hamilton, open 7am to 6pm for children aged 0-5. The centre has five age-based learning areas, three playgrounds, an on-site cook preparing meals and snacks, nappies supplied, and over 80% of teachers fully qualified early childhood educators, with discounts for families enrolling more than one child.
In good childcare, the settling-in matters as much as the teaching: centres that invite families to visit together in the weeks before the first day tend to see children settle faster, and it is worth asking exactly what fees cover, from meals to nappies, so nothing catches you out. Play-based, child-led learning is the hallmark of quality New Zealand early childhood education, with qualified kaiako using play to build language, social skills and confidence at each age.
Right in the Hamilton CBD, Rainbow Kids is set up to make those first years easy for central city families.
