Childcare in Panmure
Panmure whānau are just minutes away from Little Moa's. We're a boutique, eco-focused early learning centre where children up to 5 years old learn through play, gardening, cooking and exploring the natural world.
Why Panmure whānau choose Little Moa's
A natural, edible outdoor space
Sand, soil, grass, fruit trees and veggie gardens instead of wall-to-wall plastic. Children grow, harvest and cook what they eat.
Small, homely learning spaces
Kōwhai Nest, Rata Grove and Kauri Forest give infants, toddlers and older tamariki rooms that suit their age and stage.
Sustainability woven through the day
Worm farms, composting, cloth nappies, recycled art materials and green housekeeping — kaitiakitanga in practice.
Qualified, long-standing kaiako
A passionate team who partner with whānau, and a bicultural curriculum grounded in Te Whāriki.
20 Hours ECE & WINZ support
20 Hours ECE for 3–5 year olds, WINZ subsidy help and a 10% sibling discount for families with two or more children.
A day at Little Moa's
Children from Panmure settle quickly here. Mornings start with free play and a shared kai, followed by gardening, art, music, stories and plenty of time outdoors. Our kaiako document learning through portfolios so you can see exactly how your child is growing.
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.
