Spaces Now Available at Kiddos Childcare Otahuhu!
At Kiddos Childcare Otahuhu, children are central to everything we do. We pride ourselves in offering a warm, friendly, “home away from home” environment where children learn, communicate, play, and grow together. Our qualified and professional educators offer specialized care. We encourage and embrace individual personalities and strive for the holistic development of children.
Our philosophy is founded on our aspirations for children to "grow as competent and confident learners and communicators, healthy in mind, body, and spirit, secure in their sense of belonging and in the knowledge that they make a valued contribution to society". (Ministry of Education, 1996)
Our Programme incorporates the learning principles of the New Zealand Early Childhood Curriculum – Te Whāriki:
Whakamana – Empowerment
Kotahitanga – Holistic Development
Whānau Tangata – Family and Community
Ngā Hononga – Relationships
A visit would be worthwhile to witness our top-quality education, care, and facilities.
