Centre Profile
Located at 257 Broadway, Palmerston North’s Lollipops Educare welcomes your children to a fun and stimulating environment where they will be loved, respected, and supported. Our centre has been designed to offer children aged from birth to five years a welcoming, warm, and exciting centre that is full of discovery and learning. Programme planning and activities are based around children’s interests. We place a strong emphasis on building positive relationships between staff and parents and encourage and welcome you to be involved in the planning of your child’s learning.
Separate Nurseries and Toddlers Areas
Separate under and over two’s areas allow children to receive age-appropriate learning opportunities in a safe, nurturing environment. Our under-two’s area includes a quiet, separate sleep room and access to a fun outdoor play area. Our over-two’s section accommodates toddlers and preschoolers in individual areas that allow them to learn and progress at a pace that is just right for each child.
Hours
The centre operates between 7.30am and 6pm each week day. We are closed only on public and statutory holidays.
Getting to know each other
We have an open door policy and encourage parents/caregivers to spend time at the centre getting to know our educators and the routines that we incorporate into our programme. We believe it is important to understand and support your values and beliefs within a nurturing learning environment. For any new enquires it is advisable to make an appointment so that time can be spent with you showing you around our centre.
