Waiapu Kids Merivale Whanau Aroha Centre 45 Henderson Crescent, Parkvale, Tauranga, Bay of Plenty 3112

Welcome to Waiapu Kids Merivale Whanau Aroha Centre, located in the beautiful city of Tauranga, on Henderson Crescent. As a respected establishment and point of interest, we take pride in providing high quality and stimulating learning environments for all children.

At Waiapu Kids, we understand that strong relationships with families are the key to our success. We believe in working closely with parents and caregivers to ensure that each child receives the individual attention and support they need to thrive.

In addition to our early childhood education centres, we offer a range of family services designed to support tamariki and their families. From social work and counselling to youth services and financial mentoring, we are here to assist families in reaching their full potential.

One of the programs we offer is Seasons for Growth®, a peer-support change, loss, and grief programme. This initiative aims to strengthen the social and emotional wellbeing of children, young people, and adults who have experienced significant loss and change. Through this program, participants have the opportunity to learn and develop skills and attitudes that can help them adapt to their experiences.

At Anglican Care Waiapu, we are committed to the wellbeing of tamariki and rangatahi and ensuring their safety from harm or abuse. We take our responsibility seriously and have a Child Protection Policy in place that adheres to the Children's Act 2014. This policy is followed by all our dedicated staff and volunteers.
