Heretaunga Park Early Learning Centre

“We love HPELC! My son started when he was 8 months old, the low staff turnover has resulted in him building such strong relationships with all kaiako. It was important for me to have a daycare that thrives off having fun to learn and boy does he have fun! Food is also provided which is one less thing for my mum brain to think about and am looking forward to sending our daughter there next!”

“A truly wonderful centre with a genuine family feel! I’ve been teaching at Heretaunga Park for nine years, and that alone speaks volumes. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and supportive, you really feel like you’re part of a family. The staff are incredible to work with: caring, dedicated, and consistently committed to creating the best environment for the children. One thing that really stands out is the low staff turnover; people stay because they truly love what they do, and it shows in the quality of care and connection. I’m proud to be part of such an amazing team and couldn’t recommend HPELC enough!”

“We have had all our kids go through Heretaunga Park and couldn't be happier with our decision. Our kids have enjoyed every day there - wonderful staff providing an amazing array of activities, events, celebration/theme weeks, parties (especially Xmas and Matariki), special Birthday traditions, river walks, karaoke sessions, water play plays and more. The staff have all been amazing and safety of the kids physical, social and mental well being has been their highest priority. Couldn't recommend it enough!”

“So so grateful that we found HPLEC for our little one. We were so anxious 2 years ago when she started but it had been nothing but a very beautiful journey. Each and every staff is considering, co-operative and very involved. We are so grateful to have found a place where our child is not only cared for but genuinely loved. Highly recommend this daycare to any family looking for a nurturing and trustworthy environment.”

“I absolutely love Heretaunga Park ELC. It has such a genuine family vibe. The team is close-knit, caring, and you can tell they really love what they do. There’s very little staff turnover, which says a lot about how happy everyone is there, and it creates such a stable, comforting environment for my kids. Since enrolling, I have noticed a huge leap in my kids development - not just in learning, but in confidence and social skills too. They both absolutely love going each day which makes drop offs a breeze. I couldn’t ask for a better place for my children to grow and thrive. Highly recommend!”
