Why families choose us A village of growth, care and learning!
At our childcare centre, we believe in real experiences, respectful relationships and education that reflects the unique needs, interests and abilities of each child. Our approach is influenced by Reggio Emilia, RIE and Montessori practices, bringing together ideas that support children to become confident, capable and curious learners.
Families are our most important collaborators. We work alongside parents and carers, sharing milestones, supporting challenges and celebrating every step of the journey together. Strong, trusting relationships create the foundation for children to feel secure, connected and ready to learn.
Our Albany childcare centre is a trusted space within the local community. We believe it takes a village to raise a child, and we are proud to be part of that village. We value respectful relationships and see children as capable individuals whose voices, choices and ideas matter.
Children thrive in calm, inspiring and thoughtfully prepared environments. Our light-filled spaces and nature-rich play areas encourage exploration, creativity and a deep connection with the world around them. Open-ended resources and hands-on experiences allow children to investigate, experiment and learn through doing, while Montessori-inspired practices encourage independence and practical life skills.
We honour each child’s unique pace, personality and developing independence. Our programmes are built around curiosity, kindness and meaningful experiences, giving tamariki opportunities to make choices, follow their interests and take increasing responsibility for their learning. With Reggio Emilia, RIE and Montessori influences woven throughout our practice, we believe learning should be joyful, respectful, purposeful and grounded in real-life experiences.

Parent Feedback
We absolutely love All About Children- Apollo Drive! The teachers are incredible – always warm, friendly, and genuinely invested in the kids’ wellbeing. Both of our children attend and absolutely love going to “school” each day. It’s such a comfort knowing they’re in a caring, nurturing, and fun environment. We’ve seen them thrive and grow so much thanks to the amazing team. We would highly recommend All About Children to any parents considering childcare.
We enrolled our son at this daycare when he was just 8 months old, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, the teachers have been incredibly caring, attentive, and patient. Our little one is always happy and excited to go each day, and it’s clear he feels safe and loved there. We are so grateful for the warm and nurturing environment they provide!
We absolutely love All About Children- Apollo Drive! Our son started a couple of months ago and had a bit of a tough transition, since he had mostly been around adults and wasn’t used to being with other kids. But the wonderful team at the preschool welcomed him with so much care and patience. He has blossomed in such a short time! He absolutely loves the 5-star food menu, and every day he comes home happy after playing and learning with his lovely teachers and new friends. We’re so grateful to have found such a nurturing and positive environment for him!!
