A VERY WARM WELCOME TO

Living & Learning Family Centres

At Living & Learning, our philosophy is about creating a safe and fun-loving environment for children that promotes a zest for learning and a growing acceptance of personal responsibility.

We aim to support the holistic development of the body, mind, and spirit, in order to empower children and adults to reach their full potential.

Our Childcare Centres

Henderson

At Living & Learning Henderson, we are committed to growing our community of akonga, or learners— tamariki, whānau and Kaiako alike. We are located conveniently with Glen Eden, Rosebank, and New Lynn as surrounding suburbs.

We are also all about learning through play, with a huge outdoor play area to support tamariki as they explore time and space to develop both physically, emotionally and intellectually.

With childcare at the heart of this centre, we provide additional services to support your whole whānau where appropriate because we understand that the health and wellbeing of the whānau unit is crucial in order for children to thrive.

Māngere

Located in South Auckland, our Living & Learning centre in Māngere reflects the culturally diverse community that exists here. Our centre is well-resourced with a generous playground space that can be used all year long. Our approach to learning is through creating a nurturing environment that allows tamariki to learn in a way that is best suited to their uniqueness.

We also offer other support services for whānau to help you thrive as a family unit and to live your best life.
