AUTHENTIC LEARNING
Children are encouraged to explore, talk about and discover concepts and relationships in contexts that involve real-world problems and projects that are relevant to them.

COMMUNITY BASED
We are a non-profit community based centre. Developing close, respectful and reciprocal relationships with children, and their families and whānau, is a core part of who we are.

ENVIRONMENTAL FOCUS

    We absolutely love Huntly Early Childhood Centre! The staff are welcoming and caring and provide a fun, nurturing and creative environment. Fabulous indoor and outdoor areas ensure plenty of exploring and stimulating play. It's so nice to drop my son off knowing he is safe, happy and well looked after.

    HECC is by far the best centre I have seen. The nurturing and enthusiastic teachers always make us feel welcome and involved in our children’s preschool education. The indoor and outdoor resources and environments are amazing! All five of our children have thrived at HECC and we will be so sad when the last one heads off to school. We will always consider HECC as part of our whānau.
