Meet our Centre Manager

Kia ora

I'm Harpreet. As a Centre Manager who immigrated 23 years ago to New Zealand, I bring a deep passion for early childhood education and a firm belief that the early years lay the most critical foundation for a child’s lifelong learning and well-being.

With a commitment to creating nurturing, inclusive, and stimulating environments, I focus on supporting children under five to grow with confidence, curiosity, and resilience. My journey into New Zealand’s diverse ECE landscape has enriched my understanding of different cultures and educational approaches, allowing me to lead with empathy, vision, and a strong emphasis on collaborative learning for both children and educators.
