Parent Informaion

Our Goal

Parent partnership matters to us

We treasure every moment of your child’s journey, and we believe children thrive when whānau and kaiako work together. We value every whānau (family) and aim to build a relationship based on honesty, trust, and open communication throughout your child’s time with us.

We understand that settling in can be a big step, and we’re always here to listen and support — you’re never alone in it.

Open-Door Visits

You're welcome anytime.

Your voice matters

We invite feedback and ideas.

We Work Together

To make transitions gentle and positive.

Storypark

At Waterview Early Learning Centre, we use Storypark to keep our families connected and informed about their child’s learning journey. To learn more, visit the Storypark website.

Lunch Boxes Center (Home away from home)

We work in partnership with parents and whānau to support healthy eating habits and positive food choices.

Sickness

We may call you to pick up your child if they show signs of illness during the day. Thank you for helping us keep everyone comfortable and safe.

Attendance

Your child’s safety is our priority. Only authorised adults listed on the enrolment form can drop off or collect your child. Please notify us of any absences. Two weeks’ written notice is required for withdrawals or changes in session times.

Testimonials

What parents say

Since the current owner Roly took over, this place is way better. I feel my child is looked after well, more closer care. She has lots of knowledge, explains well with questions. Therefore this helps me well to plan of child development. I’d recommend here especially if you have first child.

Rumi

After many other daycare visits, my normally shy & reserved 2 year old took a liking to Waterview Early Learning Centre within the first 15 minutes of visiting. The environment is very friendly, calm & inviting. The educators are amazing & my 2 year old instantly connected with them within the first few days of starting. I’m so happy to come across this gem, I seriously recommend!

Francesca Lematua

A great bunch of teachers - really friendly, caring and attentive. The outside playground is great and we love the huge tree which shades and shelters the children. It's so handy having the centre provide kai and we find it encourages the kids to try new foods that they may be picky about at home. My older children always love to come in when we are collecting my youngest - it's a fun environment with lots of crafts, outside play, cultural celebration and exploration.
