Golden Kids - Early Learning Center

Golden Kids - Early Learning Center, also known as Goldies, has been a vital part of the Takaka community since 1989, offering high-quality early childhood care and education. The centre focuses on creating an enriched educational environment that fosters preschool learning through fun, creativity, numeracy, and literacy. Golden Kids places a strong emphasis on respect for people, places, and things, incorporating values like Manaakitanga, pono, whanaungatanga, and Kaitiakitanga into its learning framework. The centre also features an engaging outdoor programme, where children explore nature, enjoy activities like rolling down hills and bike riding, and participate in fire learning sessions during cooler months.

Located at 88 Commercial Street in Takaka, the centre serves families throughout the Golden Bay district. Its position in the township makes it easily accessible for local families. The centre's environment reflects the values of many families in the area, who prioritise sustainability and an environmentally friendly lifestyle.
