What does Kaitiaki Mean ?

A kaitiaki is a person, group or being that acts as a carer, guardian, protector and conserver. We believe we have a responsibility to teach our children traditional values aligned to faith, culture, well-being and the environment.

Philosophy

At Kaitiaki Kids Childcare, each child is viewed as unique and valuable. We believe every child is a capable and an active explorer who develops and learns best through play. Our role as Kaiako is to create positive and stimulating environments to build and extend on our children’s interest and knowledge.

Building Expansion and Upgrade

We are very happy to be working on the expansion of Kaitiaki Kids Childcare. The new classroom will cater for an additional 26 children aged 3&4 yrs old. In addition to the classroom we will also be opening an amazing outdoor space.
