Barnardos Porirua Early Learning Centre is an early learning centre at 24 Mungavin Avenue in Rānui, Porirua. It takes children aged 3 to 6 and offers 20 ECE hours. Sessions run from 8am to 5pm, with part or full day options, and fresh kai is made each day, including lunch and morning and afternoon tea. The centre has been in early learning for more than 55 years.
The centre follows Te Whāriki, with a Pacific-focused approach and staff who bring Pasifika knowledge and values. It marks Pacific Language Weeks, Matariki, Chinese New Year and Diwali, and it takes children on excursions to Mungavin Park, Wellington Zoo and a Christmas celebration at Parliament. Families follow their child's learning through Storypark. A parent quoted on the website says their daughter loves the centre.
