NGĀ MIHI NUI! x

Whenuakite Country Kids opened in July 2002, as a licensed and charitable not-for-profit Community owned centre.

We are located in a rural setting, 25 minutes' drive south of Whitianga

and 15 minutes' drive north of Tairua.

The centre is licensed for 39 tamariki, aged from birth to 6 years old,

and has separate areas for Pre-schoolers (Kererū Room) and Infant/Toddlers (Tūī Room).

We are directly opposite Whenuakite School with large north facing outdoor environments for ngā tamariki to explore.
