Kiwi Kids Early Learning Centre is a purpose-built early childhood centre at 4 Waimahanga Road in Onerahi, Whangarei. The building has three rooms, each for a different stage. Piwakawaka is for young infants, Tui Tots is for busy toddlers, and Kereru Kindy is for young children who are ready to explore more. The centre calls itself a family centre, where children and their whānau are made part of an extended whānau. Play, fresh air and outdoor exploration are central to its approach, and it has a secure outdoor area where children can explore the natural environment at their own pace.
Inside, the centre has musical, technological, artistic, manipulative and quiet activities for children to choose from. Families choose between three session types. A four-hour session runs from 8am to noon in the morning or from 1pm to 5pm in the afternoon. A school day runs from 8.30am to 3.30pm for seven hours, and a full day runs from 7am to 5.30pm for 10½ hours. Fees are set out in the Parent Handbook, and enquiries and enrolments are made through the centre's website. The centre states its aim as nurturing both the healthy bodies and healthy minds of its children.
