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 are so proud of Bella and how much she has learnt at Kindercare already. Thank you to the teachers for being so amazing and making everyday such a great experience for Bella.”

“Kindercare Greenhithe is too good to be true! My son started at 18 months and it is now 5 months already. I visited more than six other day care centres in nearby suburbs before I made a visit to this centre. In the very first centre tour only, I got clear that 'This is it.' First of all, all the teachers are so pleasant and welcoming to everyone who arrives. They are never in a hurry to talk to and answers all your concerns in a genuine way. They give lots of cuddles which babies need at this age. The babies' room has nice outdoor area and indoor/outdoor resources. The Kindercare Advantage is quite distinct in a way that they give lot of importance to sensory play, painting, singing, dancing and many other things that kids love. Another big relief was vegetarian Kai as we are vegetarian. The toddler and preschooler rooms are also filled with great resources and teachers which I notice when I go to drop off and pick up. The toddler room is surprisingly calm, peaceful and organized and all the little hands are busy in their respective activities nicely. The centre director is very approachable and understands your needs. I highly recommend paying a visit to this cute centre for your childcare option as it is easily accessible from Hobsonville, West Harbour and Whenuapai.”

“Cottage is an excellent choice we made for our child. When we first enrolled, our child had just arrived in Auckland and could not speak English. It was the love and professionalism of the teachers that provided our child with a sense of security, courage, and joy in a short period of time. For this, our entire family is deeply grateful and relieved. Now, our child has graduated and entered primary school, where her fluent English and cultural confidence have laid a solid foundation for her new school life. Just as Cottage upholds its philosophy of childcare, they have used their expertise and love for children to turn the kindergarten into a second home for our child.”

“Our 3 year old daughter has attended Kindercare/The Cottage since she was 10 months old and we couldn’t be happier. She has been in the baby, toddler and now preschool room and has loved each space. Thanks to the amazing teachers we’ve seen her confidence grow and we love seeing all the skills & learnings she brings home each day. It has been so reassuring to see how much our daughter loves going each day and the relationships she has built with the different teachers”

“My little guy has been at the Cottage since 10 months old. I was nervous about putting him in care when I went back to work but I'm so happy we decided on the Cottage. At almost 3 he's thriving under the care of the amazing teachers and staff. He's made lots of friends and is excited to see everyone each morning. The teachers give you amazing updates through Educa so you can see the huge variety of activities the children have been doing (ones I'd never think of myself). So happy we have 2 more years with our Cottage family.”
