Welcome to our Centre
Little Orchard Preschool McGarvey Road provides a supportive and stimulating environment, where your child receives meaningful care, as well as personalised learning and development. We are open 7.30am-5.30pm, Monday – Friday.
You’ll be amazed by our spacious outdoor environment and specific toddler room, the Pukeko Room for 15 month olds to 2.5 year olds, so that during this really important developmental stage, they have lots of their own space to move, grow and develop with children of the same age and stage.
With home-like indoor, and spacious outdoor, play areas. Our centre environment is well cared for, with good quality resources, giving ample choice for play.
Located in Whakatane, just round the corner from our Douglas Street Centre and right next to Apanui Primary School, McGarvey Road offers a ‘home away from home’ environment, with excellent care & education for local families.
Our centre is based within a strong community and creates trusting relationships with our parents and whānau. We have 4 classrooms catering for children aged 0-5 years, including a separate infant room and playground.
Our centre has a strong multicultural base and our programmes are reflective of our children, their families and our amazing environment. We offer a wide variety of learning opportunities including a swimming programme, library visits and excursions within our community.
