ABOUT THE CENTRE


Parua Bay Childcare also known locally as “Pukeko Place” is located in Parua Bay Village and services Parua Bay and Whangarei Heads Area.

This centre opened in February 2010 and already its reputation for quality childcare precedes it. The teaching staff focus on creating a safe, warm, friendly environment where children can grow and learn. This is enhanced by the implementation of Te Whārriki (NZ Early Childhood Curriculum) at the centre. Te Whārriki encourages a holistic approach to learning and the development of positive relationships with the children who attend and their whānau.

The Centre has been purposely built to cater for the needs of children from the age of 3 months until they go to school. It was designed to take advantage of the natural light and space around us, to that end as many of the resources as possible are made from natural material. It also has a large grassed outdoor area where sandpits and logs provide challenges for all the children.

The centre is open Monday- Friday 7:30am until 5:30pm. You are welcome to pay us a visit anytime and can contact us on; 09 4365544 or by email paruabaycc@xtra.co.nz
