St Andrew's Preschool is a not-for-profit preschool and childcare centre in Te Puke, in the Bay of Plenty, for children aged 3 to 5. It is governed by the Christian Education Trust, and Christian values underpin the welcoming environment. Teachers are all local to Te Puke and offer full-time and sessional education and care. The centre describes its approach as play-based, with teachers asking open-ended questions that get children thinking and exploring new ideas. Parents are invited to share cultural knowledge and home languages, and to take part in the daily programme at any time. The preschool serves a multicultural community, and teachers encourage children to respect the languages and cultures of others. Because of its reputation, the centre often has a waiting list for new families. Families can book a centre visit or request an info pack. Parents have written that the staff supported and encouraged their children over the years, and that the children grew into confident young people before school. The listing address is Stewart Street, Papamoa Beach, which differs from the centre's own Te Puke location.
