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.

“Trust a Baptist Church to have baptisms! Today was extremely special to see 6 people publically declare their faith in Jesus Christ including my nephew. It takes a great church to provide the environment for God to move and grow in people's lives, for people to see the need for moving in this great step. Youth from hard backgrounds, Christian upbringing, a world class rower. All testifying of God's real work in their lives and then being water baptised, dying and raising victorious over death from the water 💧. Thanks Wanganui Central Baptist.”
