About Us

Where Learning & Community Flourish Together

A child enjoys play-based learning at a childcare centre, nursery, and kindergarten, fostering early childhood development and creativity.

Oxford Early Learning Centre extends a warm welcome to all families/whānau in our community.

At Oxford Early Learning Centre, we are committed to providing quality childcare and early education in a safe, nurturing, and inclusive environment. As a renowned preschool and learning centre, our mission is to support every child’s early childhood journey through play, exploration, and structured learning.

Our fully registered teachers blend the principles of Te Whāriki – New Zealand’s Early Childhood Curriculum – with guiding Christian values to create a balanced foundation that inspires a love for learning, respect for others, and a strong sense of belonging.

From infants experiencing their first steps in child care to preschoolers thriving in our dynamic daycare centre, kindy, or nursery programmes, our comprehensive childcare facilities cater to every stage of development.
