Welcome to Early Connections! Based in Beachlands, our centre is a warm and welcoming home away from home for your tamariki. We are a family owned and run centre passionate about nurturing and enriching the little lives that we are trusted with and providing a safe and fun environment to play and learn within. Building a sense of belonging and acceptance into each of our tamariki, we have a beautiful array of cultures and families within our community.
With low ratios of 1-3 in in our under 2’s space, and 1-7 in our over 2’s, tamariki at Early Connections feel seen and nurtured whilst exploring and playing.
Underpinning all that we do is respect for tamariki, ensuring they feel understood and have a strong sense of belonging with us.
With carefully designed learning spaces and quality resources indoors, and large natural outdoor spaces, tamariki have the opportunity to freely explore our inviting environment.
A nourishing menu of snacks and meals is prepared by our centre chef, Christine, with all allergens, intolerances, specific diets, or cultural requirements and ages catered for. Our menu offers children a wide, balanced variety of foods and includes hot lunches, morning and afternoon tea, and a late snack.
Guided by Te Whariki, Early Connections cultivates a sense of belonging and respect right from the start. Provided with an enriching and stimulating home away from home, our tamariki are free to explore, play, and learn in a calm and unhurried way whilst feeling nurtured and respected.

Early Connections has been our home away from home for AJ since he was 11 months old. The kaiako welcomed our whole family into their care, and AJ is now so excited to see his daycare whānau on the mornings he attends. The values that Loren, Renee, Rach and the whole Early ... Connections whānau hold are fundamental for our children's wellbeing and development. Their focus on individuality, as well as the variety of play areas available at the centre, has helped AJ feel safe and secure. It is rare to find such an elaborate outdoor play area with REAL grass and mud. He is always in his element in their enormous sand pit, and is so excited to tell us about his day with diggers, paint, mud and water to name a few of the hands on activities available. We know it is a great day when his pockets are full of sand or mud. AJ can be his creative individual self with the guidance and love from his kaiako. [more]
“Our three-and-a-half-year-old started at Early Connections when she was around eleven months old. Since then, Early Connections have become her ‘home away from home’ in a true sense. So much so, our daughter wants to spend time there, even on weekends! All the teachers are... not just caring and empathetic but go that extra mile to make your child comfortable and confident in their skin. We are so glad we chose this special place, and the personalised care our child has experienced has been par excellence. We highly recommend this place to other parents looking for a similar experience for their little ones.” [more]
Early Connections have been part of our family for nearly 5 years with 2 of our children attending the centre. The staff have treated our children with love and care, always looking out for their best interest. I cannot speak highly enough of the teachers, some amazing ge... ms who will always have a big space in our hearts. Knowing that my children are happy and enjoying their days exploring, doing a variety of activities makes it a lot easier to leave each morning seeing them happily waving goodbye. I couldn't ask for a more safe and supportive environment for my children to learn and grow. [more]
