About Education & Care Service

Education & Care Services are mainstream early learning centres that offer full-day or part-day care with a structured curriculum, qualified teachers, and a focus on learning through play. They cater to families needing flexible childcare options and wanting a balanced approach that supports social, physical, and early academic development in a diverse environment.

“We have had the most wonderful experience at Bear Park. The entire team is so lovely, and it’s clear that they truly care about the children. What really caught our attention is how many of the teachers have been at the daycare for so long, which says a lot about how great it is for both the kids and the staff. The teachers are super dedicated and create a stable, comforting space that’s perfect for little ones. Our children has grown so much here, thanks to the care and fun activities.

“One of the rightest choices I have made for my 2.5-year-old daughter is sending her to Bear Park Mairangi Bay! She joined BPMB when she was 6 months old and now as a toddler, she always asks “Bear Park?” and tells us about her Bear Park teachers and friends on the weekends. I can tell how much she enjoys Bear Park from her excitement at the car park every morning! I really appreciate the support and help the teachers provide as both professionals and friends. They are passionate, experienced, kind, professional, responsive, … I feel safe and secure leaving my daughter in their hands. Thank you for putting my mind at ease and taking such good care of my child and for all the learning & fun you bring into my child’s life.”
