Welcome to Westport Early Learning Centre

We are proud to be a community-owned, non-profit early childhood education service providing high-quality care and education. Our focus is on creating a nurturing, stimulating environment where every child feels safe, supported, and valued.

We believe in the power of play-based learning and the importance of strong partnerships with parents and whānau. Our kaiako/teachers recognise each tamaiti/child as a confident, competent learner and celebrate the unique cultures and identities that enrich our centre community.
