Fun, affordable childcare


Manukau Leisure’s four Kauri Kids childcare centres are located in Howick, Clendon, Manurewa and Papatoetoe. We offer affordable preschool childcare with a focus on learning through fun.

Our Kauri Kids early childhood education aims to see children grow up with foundations as strong as a Kauri tree. Your child will not only learn about their world but also how to build friendships and develop strong social skills.

At Kauri Kids we offer a wide range of development programmes for children aged 0 to 5 years. Our centres follow the recommended early childhood curriculum, Te Whariki, developed by the New Zealand Ministry of Education.

We pride ourselves on offering quality childcare at affordable rates for local families. We also support '20 free hours' and are happy to talk with you about subsidised childcare.

All of our centres enjoy visits from families. Drop by any time and we’ll show you around firsthand.
