We are a privately owned and operated centre run by a family with a teaching history of three generations. The managing director is a fully trained and experienced teacher, who is also the centre manager, who is also a mother of three young children.

We have a professional, qualified and experienced ECE teaching team who are dedicated and passionate about discovering, nurturing and growing children's learning potential.

“…we firmly believe in deeply rooted family values in a natural home-like environment to deliver the highest quality early childcare and education, and it is our privilege to offer this unique gem that we have built at Fern Garden to our own children and other families in our local community…”

Fern Garden’s entire foundation grows out of our core philosophies from which our values, vision, mission and outcomes are visible to you and your child every day and in every way through our wonderful teachers.

To see why we had record enrolments this year, and to see why so many parents have fallen in love with our friendly and fun atmosphere, unique setting and natural environment, come in for a visit ANYTIME. We are licensed for babies right through to 5 year olds transitioning to school. We provide 20 hours ECE subsidy per week for 3-5 year olds and we are WINZ approved.

ANOTHER UNIQUE FEATURE IN TAURANGA IS THAT WE ARE OPEN ON SATURDAYS 9am-1pm TO ENABLE PARENTS TO COMPLETE PERSONAL AND WEEKEND ERRANDS WHILE THEIR CHILD IS SAFE AND HAVING FUN WITH THEIR FRIENDS AND TEACHERS AT FERN GARDEN.
