Lots of Hugs Childcare at Broadway Avenue is a purpose-built childcare centre at 257 Broadway Avenue in central Palmerston North, for children from birth to five years. The centre describes itself as brand new, with a homely feel, and its spaces are designed to be inspired by nature. Its open, warm rooms are meant to let children explore at their own pace.
The centre is open from 7.30am to 5.45pm, Monday to Friday, which the website says suits working parents. Its programme aims to build self-esteem and respectful relationships, and it takes a multicultural approach that celebrates cultural diversity. Its values are respect and care, belonging, commitment, and learning and growing. The website says the teachers want families to feel they are leaving their child with family. Enrolments are open, and the centre offers tours on request.
