Educare Tawa

The best daycare! We have been with Tawa Educare for the last 5 years across 3 of our girls and the team here are incredible - so supportive, fun, caring and have had huge impact in their development as they grow and prepare for school - my girls love going to daycare and I consider Tawa Educare a huge part of our village. Thanks team!

Have had our child there for 4 years across the under and over 2 rooms. Always find the quality of activities really great and exciting for our child and the kaiako really get to know and support the kids with genuine care. While there has been some teaching staff turnover across the 4 years over half have been there long term which has been great for stability.

In response to the 1 star rating below: Take your child out then if you’re that unhappy. It’s unacceptable to treat the teachers the way you did yesterday. They are all human at the end of the day and they do an incredible job at keeping our babies safe. If you break down the fees to an hourly rate, you pay approximately $10 per hour for your child to attend. Goodluck finding anything cheaper

Ignore the 1 star review below. I have 2 children at Educare and they both love going. Their day is filled with age appropriate activities and learning opportunities through play, moreso now they have a wonderful centre manager in place. Everyday I see the care and support the teachers give to my children. There is always safe staffing as per MoE guidelines.

I have two kids at Educare Tawa. They both love it there. The teachers are always so friendly and caring and are often cuddling kids who need the extra support. The food is great! My kids get loads of hidden veggies in their diet. My 4 year old is always talking about what she has learned so definitely think she’s getting the right level of education there for her age. She’s also made some great local friends. Highly recommend!

Constant staff shortages. they are meant to be a ratio of 1 teacher to 10 children, but regularly you'll only find 2 teachers supervising the 60 children in the 2-5 y/o room. Excessive fees. If you research how much funding an ECE receives from the Ministry of Education per qualified teacher and compare that to the fees, you'll see that this company vastly over-charges the parents for services the government is already providing funding for. combined with the staff shortages above, and clearly the owner is very wealthy

A wonderful place to send your children. My son has just finished his time here and he has had a memorable time there. The staff are so friendly and genuinely care about the kids!
