About us

Established in 1988, Lynfield College Community Childcare Centre has been operating for more than 25 years.  Licensed for just 30 children – with only six spaces for under-twos – our goal of providing a warm, family-oriented centre where children feel at home is realised.  Excellent staff ratios mean each child receives the attention they deserve to play and learn.  Governed by a Constitution and not for profit, all money goes directly back into the running of our Centre.

At our Centre, we believe in an early childhood education philosophy where children learn through “doing”.  A safe, supportive and challenging environment is provided, where children are encouraged to learn at their own level of development.  We have spacious indoor and outdoor environments that enable the children to explore at their leisure.  Our large outdoor area provides the children with a variety of surfaces – including a grassy hill, safe fall, concrete, sandpit, bark and a “nature area”. 

Through our affiliation with Lynfield College, we also have easy access to the Lynfield College school fields, Library and Marae.  Our relationship with Lynfield College includes us supporting their students who are studying childcare, being welcomed onto their Marae and being recipients of their “Caring in the Community” initiative.
