Welcome to Oma Rāpeti

Our Story

We are a home-style childcare centre based in both Freemans Bay and Kumeū, Auckland.

We have a team of highly qualified teachers who are passionate about their role in your child's future, and who are committed to providing a premium level of care.

Our centres are based around building relationships and having respect for children and their whānau. We view children as highly capable learners and communicators. We understand that children develop holistically, and we value the individual interests and needs that they bring into our centres each day.

Our Values

Nurture — Relationships are at the heart of everything we do.
Nourish — Taking care of mind, body, and spirit.
Natural — Nature provides the optimal play experience.

"I knew this centre and its teachers were special but we didn’t realise how amazing and special you all were until we had to move cities and couldn’t find another centre even a fraction as good. Thank you for teaching and loving Taylor, and please move to Napier."
