Learning Links Childcare Palmerston is a childcare centre on Sanday Street in Palmerston, Waitaki. Every early childhood centre in New Zealand is reviewed periodically by the Education Review Office, and those reports are public, so it's worth reading a centre's most recent ERO report before enrolling rather than relying only on a website or a single visit. For children aged three to five, the 20 Hours ECE government subsidy can bring the weekly cost down significantly, though it's worth checking exactly what counts as included hours versus extra charges like food or activities, since that varies between centres. Staff-to-child ratios are also required to be tighter for younger children, so a centre taking babies and toddlers alongside older children needs enough staff on the floor to actually meet that across all the age groups at once. On Sanday Street in Palmerston, this centre is one of the local options for early learning in Waitaki.
