Barnardos Early Learning Centre Palmerston North is an early learning centre at 25 Kipling Street in Roslyn, Palmerston North. The centre was newly renovated in 2025 and has open-plan indoor spaces, with vegetable and herb gardens and an orchard. It is part of the Enviro Schools programme and is working towards its Silver award. The centre has been in early childhood education for more than 55 years, and its teachers follow Te Whāriki.
The centre is open from 7:30am to 5pm, with part-day and full-day options. Fresh kai is made each day, including lunch and morning and afternoon tea. Families use Storypark to see learning as it happens, and daily updates are shared. A parent quoted on the website says the staff are caring and transparent. Recent news: the centre is offering 50% off fees for three months for children aged 0 to 6 who enrol, with terms and conditions applying.
