Aro Arataki Children's Centre

Aro Arataki is a magical place with with wonderful staff! Right beside Cornwall park which allows the children to experience lovely countryside. Our two boys (now just over 2 1/2 and 1 years of age) attended here from the age of 6/7 months until recently when we moved home to Ireland. I wish Aro Arataki was in Ireland! We feel so lucky to have found such a special place for them to start their school journey and learn about the world! I can't speak highly enough about the place and the staff. Amazing baby room (Kiwi room) where the children are encouraged to explore and be adventurous all the while being safely monitored. And amazing toddler room (Kea room) where the curious little minds are always kept busy by the splendour of different activities they have access to. We didn't make it to Tui room but from seeing the children play and getting to know the teachers I know it is another wonderful part of the centre.A really unique child centred place.Thanks so much for everything

My little girl loved Aro Arataki!

This is such an amazing place. My daughter is learning so much here. It's a joy to see how she's become more social, developed new skills and how independent she is now.It's all thanks to the wonderful teachers! They are truly awesome, so caring and know so much about kids' development and learning.

Fantastic centre with highly committed staff and beautiful facilities, including generous outdoor environment- frequent outings to Cornwall Park to visit the animals.
