About Us
About Our Preschool
Mangawhai Village Preschool is a privately owned Early Learning Centre in the heart of Mangawhai. With a great team focussed on providing the best possible love and care for your child, we welcome you to meet with us.We believe that nurturing and fostering children’s self-confidence is the key foundation to developing competent individuals. Through our Mangawhai community connection, children will be affirmed and encouraged as creative individuals.
Community is of the highest importance; we feel that through respectful, fun and reciprocal relationships between staff, children, parents, caregivers and whanau. We support teaching children the importance of truly valuing others, and in turn, themselves.At Mangawhai Village Preschool we will stimulate growth, ideas and creativity in a caring and loving atmosphere where children are encouraged to think for themselves, in an inclusive environment.
We recognise the need for children to learn first from their own points of interest, thus helping them to become passionate lifelong learners, while also encouraging children to actively involve themselves in some structured work as they prepare for school.
The team at Mangawhai Village Preschool look forward to welcoming you.
