Top Kids Harrison Street offers 3 separate aged centres located in Central City Wanganui. Each of our newly renovated centres has teaching teams dedicated to providing a positive early childhood educational experience, which meets the needs and aspirations of you and your child.
We understand the importance of building relationships with families to ensure strong partnerships of trust and respect. Our passionate and resourceful teachers constantly reflect on ways to provide creative and challenging educational activities. We value the uniqueness of Aotearoa and appreciate the richness of the many resources this community offers.
Infants
At our infant centre, we cater for children aged between 3 months to 2 ½ years in an environment that offers personalised daily routines that are caring and respectful. Teachers and children develop healthy attachments that enable children to discover their world through a variety of sensory learning experiences.
Toddlers
Our enthusiastic teaching team promotes children’s well-being and holistic growth in a fun and stimulating learning environment. With our caring and nurturing teachers, busy toddlers aged between 2 and 3 ½ years are supported as they continue their learning journey towards their increasing desire for independence and self control over everyday life.
Pre-school
The Pre-school centre is a fun and supportive educational space for your 3 to 5 year old child. Our energetic team focuses on providing a programme tailored to strengthen the ever increasing independence of our young children. Our goal is to have a role in supporting children to develop skills for life through making discoveries and experiencing quality relationships between adults and children. These educational experiences ensure your child has all the skills they need for school.
