Mt Wellies Childcare
We welcome you into the centre with lovely New Zealand Ferns which lead you through to a natural reception area, separate age appropriate rooms and fantastic outdoor playgrounds.
The centre showcases natural design that ensures every child is engaged in meaningful learning experiences, with NZ ferns, rocks, tunnels, bridges, bike tracks and more. Your child will be supported in each of their developmental stages and allowed to learn at their own pace in this wonderful environment. Your child will be welcomed every day with our initial focus being to ensure they develop a strong sense of belonging. They will be encouraged to explore, to share, to learn to become confident and competent learners, ready for their next step in their lives.
