Our Story

Little Captains Early Learning Centre is a teacher-owned and teacher-led centre, founded by a fully qualified and experienced ECE kaiako.

We are deeply rooted in our local community and committed to providing high-quality, relationship-based care where children feel safe, valued, and capable.

Our teaching team places children’s wellbeing, learning, and belonging at the heart of everything we do, offering thoughtful, play-based learning experiences that support each child to grow with confidence — just like a little captain navigating their own journey.
