Where Children and Families Grow Together

From first steps to big questions, every day is a chance to connect, grow, and build on the natural curiosity that inspires lifelong learning.

Vision & Values

It all starts with play

Step inside a New Shoots centre and you’ll find a joyful space where tamariki (children) feel right at home. Play is at the heart of everything we do because as early childhood educators, we know tamariki thrive when they’re free to follow their imagination.

Experienced Kaiako, Meaningful Learning

Every New Shoots centre is led by skilled kaiako who nurture, guide, and support your tamariki as they grow. Our teaching teams include qualified and registered early childhood teachers alongside experienced kaiako who bring warmth, care, and practical knowledge to each day.

Together, they draw on a deep understanding of early development, learning through play, and Te Whāriki, Aotearoa New Zealand’s early childhood curriculum, creating rich learning experiences that support children to explore, communicate, and thrive.

Made to feel like a second home

We’ve always believed that beautiful, thoughtful spaces help children feel calm, confident, and ready to learn. Whether purpose built and architecturally designed buildings or creatively rejuvenated existing spaces, our centres have a distinct aesthetic with soothing colours and natural textures, generous windows and a seamless flow to the outdoor areas beyond.
