Little Thinkers Private Kindergarten

“With two children currently enrolled and one already graduated, I can say without hesitation that this is the best daycare for my family. The staff has fostered a wonderful community—hosting family picnics to celebrate occasions such as Easter, Matariki, and Christmas. They genuinely care for my children, embracing their culture through language and art. The simple “Bula” upon entry is a welcomed greeting. In the classroom, they build early literacy, numeracy, and social skills that set children up to excel in school. We couldn’t be happier with the nurturing environment and cultural pride they’ve instilled. If you’re looking for a daycare that truly cares for your children and your culture while preparing them for success, Little Thinkers is it.”

“We have been part of the Little Thinkers whānau for the past four years, and I honestly couldn’t speak more highly of our experience. The staff are caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in each child’s happiness and development. The owners are so hands-on, and they go above and beyond to create a nurturing environment where every child is supported to thrive in what they love. Our eldest has now moved on to school, and the transition was seamless thanks to the strong foundations, confidence, and independence Little Thinkers helped her build. The same goes for our youngest, who will be moving to school in a few months. We are so grateful for the ongoing support, encouragement, and care both of our children have received. I highly recommend Little Thinkers to any family looking for a warm, personalised, and truly child-focused centre. We feel incredibly lucky to be part of such a special place.”

“From our experience, we had one son who finished Little Thinkers in 2024. He thoroughly enjoyed his time with his classmates and teachers. We currently have another son in room 4, and we can clearly see his weekly growth. This is something we appreciate about the room’s approach to preparing students for primary school. We believe the staff is caring and creates a wonderful environment for the children.”

“We are so thankful that our children have had the opportunity to attend Little Thinkers. From day one, it’s been so much more than just a place where our children are looked after — it’s a place where they are nurtured, supported, and inspired to grow. The team at Little Thinkers go above and beyond to create an environment filled with love, learning, and connection, embracing my children's different cultures and the cultures of others. Our children have always felt valued and encouraged, and we’ve seen them thrive in every way socially, emotionally, and academically. Little Thinkers isn’t just a kindergarten to us, it truly feels like family. We’re so grateful for all the care, attention, and warmth they’ve given our two children over the past 5 years. We couldn’t be happier to have found such a special place. I wish we could start from room 1 all over again.”

“Our 5-month experience at Little Thinkers daycare, which prides itself on being "different," was a profound disappointment due to management/ownership's consistent failure to honour the agreed-upon schedule, leaving us – full-time working parents – stranded with our twin boys perpetually stuck in extended "settling visits." So, if you have little appetite for exploring how different Little Thinkers is, go look elsewhere.”
