Welcome To Kiwi Kapers Whānau
Over the next 37 years our centre grew to have a license of 36 children with an age range of 2–5-year-olds as did my own family we now have two adult sons where has the time gone. The centre moved to Rosier Road in Glen Eden 2021 as we were looking for a section with a bigger back yard.

We found a lovely sunny property with large trees down one side and space for getting messy with friends, and this is where you will find us.

Younger children also learn through observation and imitation rather than relying entirely on adults’ guidance. Watching older peers put on shoes, pour water or wash hands helps them develop these self-help skills and establish independent habits. Being alongside older children who model calmer, steady behaviour can also support
