Kopuwai Early Learning Centre is the only not-for-profit, parent run childcare centre in Alexandra and we pride ourselves on being a small centre, with a strong whānau and community focus. We have high teacher:child ratios, diverse settings and planning that focuses on individual children's needs.
Our Centre's programme is developed around children’s present needs and interests, the principles of Te Whãriki.
Our teachers use specific teaching strategies to ensure we provide a secure, stimulating and challenging environment for all learners.
We are available Monday to Friday during opening hours to answer any questions, so please get in touch.
