Country Creche is an independently owned and operated childcare center located in Matangi, Hamilton. We offer a nurturing and stimulating environment for young children's early childhood education and care. With a license for 72 children, we have three separate buildings that provide ample space for children to engage in a range of fun and stimulating learning experiences.

Situated in a lovely rural location, our center features plenty of grass, natural trees, and gardens, creating a play-based learning environment that promotes children's exploration and discovery. We also have an orchard where we harvest fruit and various animals, including rabbits, chickens, birds, and quails. Our center fosters a strong connection with children and their families, inviting them to share their aspirations and spend quality time with us.

We celebrate cultural events such as Matariki and Diwali, and we organize family days and evenings. With qualified ECE teachers and an adult-to-child ratio that surpasses regulated requirements, we ensure each child receives the attention and care they need. We follow the Te Whariki Early Childhood Curriculum and plan each child's learning based on their individual strengths, interests, and needs.

Our belief in uninterrupted play allows children to learn at their own pace and promotes positive social interactions and an understanding of social situations. At Country Creche, we have a vision to provide a place of exploration, discovery, and wonder. Our spacious environment allows children to explore open spaces and take risks, while our teachers facilitate meaningful interactions with nature and the world around them.

We support children's transitions to school, providing assistance and presence during their 'kickstart' program at Matangi School and other local schools. Led by our dedicated Center Manager, Hannah Smith, our team comprises experienced and knowledgeable individuals who are passionate about supporting children's growth and development. We maintain quality adult-to-child ratios in each group, ensuring each child receives the attention and care they deserve.

We also believe in celebrating special occasions and invite families to join us in these festivities.
