Nestled in the heart of Matakana Country Park, this new centre offers a one-of-a-kind early learning experience surrounded by nature, animals, and local artistry. With five beautifully designed classrooms and a playground that embraces its rural landscape, New Shoots Matakana provides tamariki with space to explore, imagine, and thrive.
An internal glasshouse brings the outdoors in, inviting children to plant, nurture, and observe the world around them. Just beyond our doors, a petting zoo, local makers’ studios, and open park spaces offer daily inspiration for play and learning. Every corner of this centre is designed to spark curiosity and connection — with nature, with community, and with each other.
The best way to understand what makes New Shoots Matakana special is to experience it in person.
We invite you to visit, meet our team, and see how our spaces, relationships, and curriculum come together to create a place where your child can truly thrive.
