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 Love Learning Adventures - Best daycare in Rotorua by far. Highly recommend anyone looking for a daycare to call the centre or just pop in as they have an open door policy. The staff are all lovely and welcoming. They interact with all the children and are a well resourced, clean centre. As a first time mum I visited many daycares in Rotorua but as soon as I walked in the doors at Learning Adventures I knew it was the one. The staff made leaving my 5month old comfortable and put my mum guilt at ease. My little girl loves going to daycare and is thriving and we now feel like we have an extended family. Keep up the amazing work Learning Adventures Team!”

“We are always welcomed in the kindergarten and their inclusive practices makes us more comfortable and help us to form a trustful relationship with them. We feel that our child is enjoying her journey with this kindergarten. We are happy with our culture is also valued in there. Their practices towards the learning te reo Maori is effective as we could hear lots of te reo Maori from our child. In short we are happy and satisfied with the learning experience that they provide for our child.”
