A stone’s throw from both Bayfair Shopping Centre and the local beach, New Shoots early childhood centre is well placed for the many families living or working in Mount Maunganui. Five years of planning has gone into designing and building the centre to ensure it’s a perfect fit for this fast-growing neighbourhood. The architecturally-designed building was inspired by the Mount’s famously laidback, coastal lifestyle. It features a stunning canopy that reflects the nearby waves while providing outdoor shelter so our tamariki can enjoy all-weather play. Our nature-inspired outside area gives children plenty of space to learn, play and soak up some valuable vitamin D. Complete with water tables, sandpits, walking trails, and climbing towers, the outdoors is shared among all children, giving the centre a real family feel. Inside, a gorgeous and calming aesthetic offers tamariki a home-like environment where they feel relaxed and at ease. Our wonderful teaching team promotes the art of play, understanding that children learn and develop best when they are free to pursue their own curiosity. New Shoots Bayfair is located amongst the contemporary living village salt. – a beautiful residential community complete with green spaces, modern apartments and a café. With help from local businesses, artists, florists and furniture makers, bringing this centre to life has been a true collaboration – community at its finest! Pop in for a visit today to join the warm and welcoming New Shoots Bayfair family.
