Outdoor play area at Whangaparaoa Childcare, Little Poppys.

Welcome to
Little Poppy's Preschool

Our beautiful Whangapāroa Daycare
is designed and licenced for tamariki aged
from 0 months to 6 Years old.

Our large open plan indoor space is light and sun filled. We have a fabulous outside area and wonderful sandpit for creative construction. Little Poppy’s really is the perfect place for discovering and learning, both inside and out.

It is our aim that all tamariki at Little Poppy’s receive a wide range of rich learning experiences while feeling at home in a genuinely warm and nurturing environment. Tamariki are encouraged to develop their personal capabilities, strengths, interests and learning styles.

Our experienced team of professional early childhood educators strive to ensure every child at Little Poppy’s loves their time at preschool and has their individual needs met with love, patience and understanding. Our teachers encourage tamariki to think for themselves and make decisions by expressing their own ideas and feelings.

Our location means we offer easy access from Whangaparāoa Road and have tamariki joining us from across the Whangaparāoa Peninsula and Red Beach areas.

We work closely with parents and families to ensure all of our tamariki are happy, healthy and fulfilling their absolute potential for learning. It is a privilege to play an important part in nurturing and guiding your tamariki through their preschool years and we genuinely love what we do.

We hope you will visit us at Little Poppy’s soon,
but in the meantime please don't hesitate to get in touch
by phone or email for a chat.

Testimonials

“Little Poppy's has been a part of our family for the last 5 years
We love the teachers and the safe environment that they create on a day to day basis. They have become a part of our family and check in even when our child is off sick. They assist in identifying the children's passions and create play time to enhance their learning. We love Little Poppy's and wouldn't want to be anywhere else”.

Erica | Mum to Zoe

“Our 2 children have thrived at little Poppy’s over the last 3 years, so much so that they are now teaching us things that they have learnt at daycare! The teachers are caring, compassionate and have a special bond with each of the children in their centre.
Would not hesitate to recommend Little Poppy’s to any families looking for a daycare for their children”.
