Welcome to Kowhai Tui Waldorf Childcare
A Home away from Home
Welcome to Kowhai Tui Childcare – A homely environment where children are educated using the Waldorf/Steiner Philosophy.
Our childcare centre focuses on meaningful learning experiences in a nurturing, caring environment where children can feel safe and loved. Our aim is to carefully foster and protect the physical, emotional, social and spiritual nature of each child, which allows them to unfold at their own pace in a healthy way.
Ages 6 months to 6 years
Open Monday – Friday 7.30am – 5.30pm
What makes us special
Our Whare
Both the Kowhai and Tui whare are situated in park-like surroundings. We have an established vegetable garden and orchard which is an important part of our programme. We provide delicious, nutritious vegetarian meals prepared fresh daily.
Kowhai Childcare
