Remember the good old days, when kids were kids? When adventures with friends were more compelling than screens, and the great outdoors promised excitement and wonder?

Lollipops early childhood centres embrace the spirit of freedom that every Kiwi kid has the right to feel. The joy of exploration, the delight of a new discovery. Our children build independence and self-empowerment, they learn about sustainability and the environment, and they cultivate respect – and love - for the wonderful world around them.

A home away from home for families seeking that idyllic start, Lollipops offers the highest quality care in a safe and nurturing environment. Our teachers are at the top of their field, with the skills and dedication to bring out the best in each and every child.

Set your little one up for a bright future. Visit a Lollipops centre near you today.

I have watched my three boys (1, 2 and 4) grow and thrive since moving them to Lollipops Papamoa 18 months ago. The teachers go above and beyond; they are attentive, caring and always communicate to ensure my children’s’ individual needs are met. The teachers at Lollipops have become a second family for us – I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thanks, Lollipops!

Lollipops Aubrey Street has enabled my children to flourish by encouraging them, respecting them as individuals and building exceptional relationships with them. I know from the feedback and insights I get from the Kaiako that my children are nurtured here and their achievements noticed.  I feel like the centre is an extension of my family, a relationship I will miss when my youngest moves on to school.  It's always a welcoming and fun place to come as a parent, and to me this means it's a great place to come for my children.

To all amazing teachers at Lollipops- I would like to thank you all for looking after Natalya since she was 7 months old. You guys did such a great job guiding and teaching her over the years. She achieved a lot already and started school this week and I truly believe that you helped her build confidence and passion for learning and people and life. I could not imagine her spending the last four years in another place. This centre is by far one of the best ones. Thank you once again

Thank you Lollipops, Korbin was very shy and use to take a while to start new ventures, since starting with Pukekohe lollipops Korbin's confidence has grown so much. Korbin loves to learn and create, and was given the opportunity to do both at your centre. Thank you all for loving our son, and supporting him with his development. Korbin is loving school and I believe this has a lot to do with the preschool work the Tui class provides. I'm glad that Ella will have the same opportunity

Thank you Ladies xx

I love sending my son to Lollipops, the teachers are so lovely and have made my son feel very comfortable and have helped settle into day care extremely well. Lovely staff, supportive and positive learning environment and great facility – what more could a parent ask for
