Pakuranga Learning Centre

“As a parent of a child who was very attached to me, I was nervous about starting this new journey. From the very first day, the teachers have been incredibly patient, gentle, and understanding. They took the time to build trust with my little one, comforting her when she needed it and encouraging her at her own pace. The way they take initiative—finding ways to make her feel safe, included, and confident—has made all the difference. Now, she looks forward to coming in and I can see her growing not only in skills but also in happiness. A heartfelt thank you to Kavita ( The Centre Incharge ) for creating such a warm, supportive environment and leading a team that truly cares for the children. I’m so grateful to have such caring teachers walking alongside us in this stage of her life. I would highly recommend this place to any parent looking for a loving, supportive environment for their child.”

“We enrolled our 4-year-old son at PLC six months ago, and the experience has been nothing short of amazing. The teachers are incredibly nurturing and genuinely care for each child’s wellbeing and development. What really stands out is their thorough primary school preparation programme — it's structured, thoughtful, and really sets children up for success. They go above and beyond in every way, especially considering how affordable the fees are. There are always engaging activities that support the children’s learning, along with regular field trips and cultural events that build awareness and community. I also really appreciate how they involve parents and create such an inclusive, welcoming environment. Highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a supportive and enriching place for their child!”

“Such a great centre! Very large area and learning spaces - great out door learning space as well as spacious indoor areas. Plenty of car park spaces, typically hidden away so it doesn’t recieve the recognition that it should. With that being said it is a very safe drop off/pick up location away from the road. Great, loving and warm teachers who make you feel so welcomed and make our children feel safe. I have 3 boys at this daycare and the manager has been so accomodating with their transition and continues to be supportive. Great learning environment - they are always doing and learning new things. A strong family orientated centre who is inclusive and considers parents input and needs in our children’s development. Highly recommend for parents in the area or parents who commute to and from work past through Cascades Rd. On top of all the positives, one of the most affordable centres in east Auckland area that provide meals as well as high quality learning.”

“PLC is my three year old’s centre. It’s more than a daycare centre for him, actually it’s his home away from home. He was attending to an another daycare centre and it was so hard to take him there. He was crying everyday and being very upset. We had a bad experience with the centre and decided to enroll him in PLC. Now he’s a happy little boy who wants to go there everyday, even on weekends 😂. We see a huge difference in this centre. It’s very much kids friendly and a second home for the kids. Teachers are talented, loving and caring. They give their fullest support towards kids’ learning. We’re grateful to PLC staff for making our lives happier. I see a great improvement of my little one and so happy to see him developing day by day. I highly recommend PLC from my own experience!!!!”

“Really happy with this place! Loads of parking and it's not right by the main road, so dropping off and picking up isn't a hassle with fewer cars around. They don't cram in too many kids, so each child gets plenty of attention from the teachers. The staff are great with the little ones. Plus, there's a huge space for the kids to play and learn, with both indoor and outdoor gardens. My child come a long way here – from shy to super confident by the time she hit primary school. Couldn't be happier! It's not too expensive compared to others with meals included. A BIG THANK YOU PLC!!!”
