Caring, learning and growing

We believe in providing quality childcare and educational experiences for rural preschool children, in a safe and homely environment. Every child will be greeted by a friendly face and be treated with respect; they will be praised and encouraged in all that they do. We aim to empower tamariki to grow up as confident and competent individuals, being proud of their achievements and developing their curiosity for life!

Thank you so much for taking such great care of my daughter over the past 18 months. It has been so wonderful to see her relationships grow and develop with both the other children and the teachers. We are so sad to be finishing up but hopefully we’ll be back next year. Thanks again – you are a very special group of people.

Callum and Bella have spent all their preschool years at Bluegoose and I believe that it has boosted their self esteem and confidence greatly to make them who they are today. The respect and dedication the staff have for the kids is amazing to see every day. We will miss you when Bella heads to Primary. Thank you Bluegoose Preschool.

The Blue Goose Preschool has an amazing family and community feel to it. My boys absolutely love going to preschool and I know they are constantly stimulated with age appropriate activities and cared for by the wonderful teachers. I have always found the teachers to be approachable and receptive to my suggestions. We are very lucky to have such a fantastic preschool in our community.
