A special place, where we care for your child, and nurture your family.
We have two beautiful early learning centers, both in Havelock North, under our Āwhina philosophy.
Āwhina Pēpi
Pēpi is a holistic home-away from home, childcare for infants and children up to 3 years. Āwhina Pēpi, located on Te Aute Road in Havelock North, is a loving home away from home childcare centre dedicated especially for infants and children up to 3 years old. Our daily rhythms are centred around this home-like environment, and are pivotal to the tamariki in our care. Our holistic approach to early childcare education is woven through every part of Āwhina Pēpi, where we nurture the wellbeing of each tamariki in line with whānau aspirations.
Āhwina Duart Rd
Our beautiful environment reflects our beliefs about providing a home-like space for children to learn & develop at their own pace and time. Āwhina’s daily rhythms are pivotal to the tamariki in our care, and our carefully planned environment reflects this while evoking a feeling of beauty & comfort. The children are freely able to play and explore at their own pace and space, while following the natural, calm, rhythm of the day. The children come to experience & know Awhina’s healthy rhythms which bestows a sense of comfort and security in knowing what is to happen next. Each child is therefore nourished, well-rested, happy and able to make a smooth transition back into their home environment.
The Āwhina philosophy
Āwhina is a loving home away from home. We approach our role at Awhina as nurturers, where the child experiences love and empathetic care, vital for their healthy emotional and physical development. The daily Āwhina homemaking rituals & rhythms are pivotal around the children in our care. Our holistic approach is woven through every part of Āwhina.
