Inspiring Kids Early Learning Centre is a childcare centre on Clayton Road in Western Heights, Rotorua, and it takes children from six months old. It describes itself as more than a home away from home, and its aim is to keep fees low while offering quality early education.
The centre has separate outdoor play and learning spaces for babies and pre-schoolers, and children can move from the baby room to preschool in familiar surroundings. The teachers are qualified. The programme follows Te Whāriki, the New Zealand early childhood curriculum, and reflects the bicultural heritage of the community. It is based on regular observations, and each child develops at their own pace.
The centre offers 30 hours of free ECE for children aged three and over. It also offers free pick-up and drop-off, with conditions that the office can explain.
It is open Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 3:30pm, all year round except public holidays.
Our pick in Rotorua for a family with a baby or toddler who wants a centre close to home.
