Early Childhood Services

Early childhood education is available to the children of students and staff at UC from the three Childhood Learning centres below. 

The centres offer programmes for new borns to 5/6 years and are based on the principles of Te Whāriki New Zealand Early Childhood curriculum, the centres are committed to effective group sizes, teacher ratios, and the employment of qualified teachers.

Although UC students and staff take priority, the centres are open to parents in the community.
