My name is Elise! I’ve always loved being around children. Even as a child, even as a child I loved playing with dolls and acting out care routines with them. It just seemed a natural career path to me for as long as I can remember. So, becoming an early childhood teacher felt like a natural path. I began working in ECE in 2007 and became a qualified teacher in 2009.

I love seeing the joy in children’s eyes as they explore and discover the world around them. At Lollipops North Harbour, we have a warm, dedicated team, a beautiful outdoor space, and wonderful families. I value respectful relationships and believe they are the foundation of great learning. Outside of work, I enjoy time with my family, the beach, and reading.

Our Centre
Open Close

At Lollipops North Harbour, we’re all about creating a nurturing, respectful, and engaging environment where children can truly thrive. Our philosophy is grounded in Manaakitanga – showing kindness, generosity, and care within our community. Through strong relationships, nature-based learning, and a focus on wellbeing, we support every child’s unique learning journey.

Our centre features spacious outdoor play areas, beautiful gardens, and three cosy, converted home-style buildings that create a calm, welcoming setting. With easy access to parks, a local primary school, and nearby workplaces, we’re a convenient choice for busy whānau in the area.

Inside, tamariki are grouped by age across three dedicated buildings: Kiwi, Fantail, and Kākāpō. Each space is thoughtfully designed to suit their stage of development, with tailored routines and learning experiences that build confidence, independence, and a lifelong love for learning.
