At Educare Tikipunga, we cherish each child’s unique interests and provide numerous opportunities for them to lead their own play experiences. Our kaiako are right there alongside them, joining in on the fun, singing, and learning together. We understand the importance of supporting older tamariki as they transition to school, which is why we offer a dedicated weekly programme that nurtures their independence.

We also collaborate closely with whānau to adapt to changing routines, acknowledging the challenges of shift work and rostered hours. Throughout our Whangārei centre, we foster a culture of connection and respect, ensuring tamariki feel valued and excited to be a part of our vibrant community.
