Welcome to our Centre
Our purpose built centre provides a ‘home away from home’, nurturing and cosy environment, with spacious outdoor play area with plenty of real, natural grass.
Just round the corner from Golden Sands Primary School, in the stunning beachside town of Papamoa; Happy Feet offer excellent care & education for local families in the community.
Our centre caters for children aged 0-5yrs, with dedicated areas for Infants, Toddlers and Preschoolers, so, your child receives meaningful care, as well as personalised learning and development. We are open 7.30am-5.30pm, Monday – Friday.
Each child within our centre (The Nest and The Hive) will be assigned a key teacher who, as much as possible, will undertake care routines. We believe that each child deserves the best care, and in order for children to develop a sense of trust and security within the Happy Feet environment, we feel it is important that they have at least one person with whom they can create a secure base.
Parents love the rich sense of community, and our curriculum reflects our philosophy for strong relationships. It values input from parents, teachers, whānau, children and our wonderful community.
Whānau Feedback
"I would highly recommend Happy Feet, from when I first went through the doors everyone is so welcoming. The teachers are all so caring, loving and you can tell they really care about the children in their care. They made me feel so comfortable in leaving my son. The centre is well set out and clean with a beautiful big outdoor area. The team here at Happy Feet are amazing!"
