Sawyers Bay

We are open Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings from 9am-12noon during school term time.

We offer a relaxed, welcoming environment for families to come and play and learn together. We bring our own food with us each day but often share that time together and we love to sit outside on our lovely sunny Dunedin days. We enjoy water play, cooking, shared art projects, dress-ups and developing our balance and courage on a confidence course. We have a good sized and varied outdoor space with a fun playground and we are redeveloping our sandpit area.

We are a parent collective meaning we all contribute on and off session to the running of the centre and we operate through the generosity of our community, grants and a basic fee structure per term. This can be subsided by WINZ. We invite prospective families to three complimentary visits while deciding if this is the right fit your family.

We would love to show you around sometime. Please feel welcome to drop in during our open hours or email us for any further information.
