What makes us special

Our Centre

About Lollipops Papamoa

At Lollipops Papamoa, we’re all about creating a nurturing, respectful space where tamariki can truly thrive. Our inclusive, bicultural curriculum embraces the richness of different cultures, and we believe in the power of whānau involvement to help guide each child’s learning journey.

Our purpose-built centre is designed to offer the best of both worlds, with indoor-outdoor flow, large sandpits, and plenty of garden space for exploration. We also take part in weekly Nature Explorers walks, designed especially for our 4-year-olds, where tamariki immerse themselves in the beauty of nearby Wairakei Reserve.

Inside, each room is thoughtfully tailored to meet the developmental needs of different age groups. Our Kiwi infants room provides a loving, secure environment filled with cuddles, sensory exploration, and plenty of opportunities for messy play, including water, sand, and paint. In the Weka Room, older tamariki engage in dynamic activities like construction, messy play, and creative arts, while also enjoying cosy spaces for reading and a calm, safe environment to support emotional regulation
