Sending your child to daycare is a big step…

But it doesn’t have to be difficult. We understand what it’s like for a parent taking care of responsibilities and we’re here to help.

Here is how we strive to be Papamoa’s favourite Childcare.

LOW TEACHER-TO-CHILD RATIO

If our teachers are all rushed off their feet, then your child won’t get the attention they need. A big part of our success is the Child-to-Teacher ratio and our drive to keep that as low as possible.

A DAYCARE WITH SPACE TO GROW!

Kids need space to explore and play, we need the outdoors (and indoors). At Grow we've got one of the biggest kids play area's in Bay of Plenty giving your kids plenty of space to Grow.

IT'S ABOUT HOW YOUR CHILD FEELS...

Education is important, no doubt. But a happy place is what your child needs. Friendly and fun with lots of smiling faces, its a safe place. There's always things to do, but also time to yourself when it's needed.

...AND ABOUT BEING A KID TOO

We love mess, we love being tidy too. We love creating stuff and exploring, we like being loud, and being quiet too. We've got the place for it to all happen here at Grow!

PURPOSE BUILT FACILITY

It's really what and who's inside, but regardless, we've built a beautiful place for your kids education and care.

MORNING TEA, LUNCH & AFTERNOON TEA

Grow ECE provides Morning Tea, Lunch & Afternoon Tea for every child that attends. We recognise nutrition is an important part of growth and learning so we make sure to cater to allergies and dietary requirements ensuring everyone is included.

SWIMMING LESSONS

On Thursdays, swimming lessons are offered to children 4 years and above as an extra curriculum activity in partnership with our local Papamoa swim school.

OUR TEAM IS AMAZING

Qualified, experienced and highly regarded (not to mention awesome) early childhood teachers are here to help your child Grow.

20 HOURS ECE

Our Centre offers the 20 Hours ECE subsidy which is provided by the Ministry of Education to all 3, 4 and 5 -year-old children. The cost of your 3 – 5-year-old attending our Centre can be subsidised for a maximum of 6 hours per day for 20 hours per week. There is a cost for the care provided by our wonderful Kaiako. Please enquire for details.

4 AGE/STAGE APPROPRIATE ROOMS

Kids have distinct developmental stages and needs. Our 4 rooms support the current needs of your child on their learning journey.

READY FOR SCHOOL

As capable and confident, life-long learners we celebrate your children moving on to the next stage of their learning journey – school! We understand the importance of this transition and strive to make this as smooth and easy as possible. Our Kaiako use the last year at Grow to encourage extension and enquiry in more complex projects that prepare them for a new environment in the school learning structure.

HIGH QUALITY CHILDCARE – AFFORDABLE FEES

We want everyone at Grow to feel they are getting great value from the care we provide. This is a big part of what makes us sustainable and able to keep doing what we’re doing! We are always looking at ways to provide this and one factor is our fees - ask us about the 40% off fees rebate that could help you with yours!

It’s never too early to start planning for your child’s future.
