At Pohutukawa Kidz, we have a deep understanding of what makes children tick. Our Focus is on helping each child develop his/her potential through a healthy mix of educational and recreational activities.
Te Whariki shows us that “Children are confident and Competent Learners” which is why our educational programme encompasses this principle.
It used to be said “It takes a whole Village to raise a child ,” We believe it takes a “whole team to raise a child .” Our Expertise and experience in the industry will be pooled in with our experienced and passionate teachers.
Our Goal is to provide your child with a safe, clean, nurturing, caring environment, where your child will feel safe, secure and important, thus letting their own individuality and talents shine.
