Caring for your whole child
At Little Moa's Early Learning Centre, we are committed to providing high-quality care for your “whole” child in a safe, healthy, holistic learning environment.
We've created sun-filled spaces designed with natural toys and resources. Little Moa's is built on the foundation to love and respect — to be kaitiaki of the earth and put our children's future first. To nurture growth and a sense of belonging; we treasure ako and reciprocal learning.

Thank you for always putting our children first. All the teachers are amazing! My daughter has learnt more from Little Moa's than she has at home and I can't thank you all enough. You ladies are amazing!
I just love the whole approach and ethos behind Little Moa's — it makes me feel like it's a home-away-from-home when my son attends during the week.
