We are a locally owned and operated early learning centre in Stanmore Bay, with a strong sense of place and community. Our focus is on calm, consistency, and relationships. Our name reflects the feel of the centre. Welcoming, steady, and unhurried. A close-knit team creates an environment where children are known well and days feel settled and well supported.
About us
Our Environment
Our environment is inspired by the coastal way of life we’re lucky to be surrounded by in Stanmore Bay. Natural textures, soft tones, and thoughtfully chosen resources reflect the calm of the coast, creating spaces that feel welcoming, grounded, and alive with curiosity. Indoors and out, our environment is designed to support meaningful play, with real grass underfoot, plenty of trees and planting, and open spaces that invite children to climb, explore, and connect with nature. Light-filled rooms, open-ended materials, and a strong connection to the outdoors encourage children to learn, imagine, and grow at their own pace.
Located at 6 Karepiro Drive, our centre sits in the heart of Stanmore Bay, just minutes from the beach, local parks, and the wider Whangaparāoa community. We’re perfectly positioned for families living in Stanmore Bay, Arkles Bay, Manly, and the surrounding peninsula. Our peaceful neighbourhood setting offers a calm, safe environment for children to learn and grow, while still being easily accessible for busy families. With the coast on our doorstep, our location naturally inspires a strong connection to nature, outdoor play, and a slower, more grounded pace of learning. We’re proud to be part of the Stanmore Bay community and value the close relationships we build with local families, schools, and services.
