Fostering Child Growth
Your child is growing up fast and ready for a little more independence; our preschool club will be a perfect introduction. Our approach to learning and teaching is through child-centred play and education.
On behalf of the incredible team of teachers and support staff whom we are privileged to work alongside, we invite you to come in and see us and take the opportunity to look through our centre.
New Beginnings is a purpose-built childcare centre in the heart of Ostend, Waiheke Island.
Built on the values of family, respect, inclusion and diversity, We pride ourselves on building strong, long-lasting relationships with our families and communities and work in partnership to provide quality targeted care and education. We aim to meet your needs, so please come along and pay us a visit; we look forward to meeting you.

Pīwaiwaka Room
The Pīwaiwaka Room is our designated space for tamariki aged zero to two years old.
Our Pīwaiwaka whānau work hard to establish relationships with all families at New Beginnings and set them up with a solid foundation for learning in the ECE environment.
Our team take great care to learn the routines of each pēpi and follow those here at the centre. It is a routine-based room where every child’s individual needs are upheld.

Tui Room
The Tui Room is our designated space for tamariki aged two to five years old.
In the Tui Room we place great importance on tuākana/teina relationships, whereby our older tamariki take care their younger peers and the younger tamariki learn from their older friends. It is a cycle of learning with roots in the Māori culture that we embody in the Tui Room through the values of respect, kindness, inclusion, diversity, and whanaungatanga.
