Mairangi Bay’s Premium Early Childhood Education Centre

Kindy Cottage Childcare offers a warm and nurturing environment for children aged 5 months to 5 years. As a small centre, we maintain strong, personal relationships with parents and whānau.

We pride ourselves on providing personalised care and education that fosters strong relationships and a sense of community. Our low child-to-teacher ratio means we get to know each and every child well, and provide the best learning opportunities for them!

Inspired by the Reggio Emilia and RIE approaches, we provide a warm, stimulating, and safe environment where children can grow, explore, and thrive at their own pace.

Nestled on a picturesque residential street near Rangitoto College, our thoughtfully designed spaces encourage curiosity, creativity, and connection, fostering a love for learning from the very beginning.

Our mixed-age setting offers unique benefits:

Family-Like Atmosphere

Siblings can spend time together in a homely environment, and children’s languages, cultures and unique learning needs are respected.

Peer Learning

Younger children are inspired by older peers, while older children develop leadership skills by mentoring the younger ones.

Individualised Attention

Our teachers observe and respond to each child's unique needs and interests, ensuring personalised care and education.

  • “Children have real understanding only of that which they invent themselves.”

  • “Let the child be the scriptwriter, the director and the actor in his own play.”

  • “Our task is to help children communicate with the world using all their potential, strengths and languages, and to overcome any obstacle presented by our culture.”

  • “If children feel safe, they can take risks, ask questions, make mistakes, learn to trust, share their feelings, and grow.”
