Central City Quality Edu-care

Nestled in the heart of Rotorua’s city centre, Central City Quality Edu-care (CCQE) has two boutique childcare centres nurturing infants, toddlers and young children in a home away from home environment.

Nau mai, haere mai l Konnichiwa l Talofa lava l Namaste l Ni Hao – welcome to Central City Quality Edu-care!

The centres are truly central – with two prime locations, Pukuatua Street and Pukaki Street. CCQE has been in operation since 2003 and continues to be proudly, privately owned and operated.

Limited enrolments and low staff turnover allow each centre to offer a nurturing environment with a personalised approach to children and their families – small in size but big in heart!

Collectively with decades of industry and personal experience, the team at CCQE pride themselves on supporting and encouraging children to learn, love and laugh while at their home away from home.

Testimonials

Our baby started at the Centre when she was eight months old, and she is now 3. Within this time, I have seen and experienced great care for our baby but also, we as a whanau have been embraced by the team at the Centre. The staff are open to suggestions and always willing to share knowledge and advice in regards to my daughter’s growth and wellbeing. We consider the kaiako and tamariki to be our village, as it is said that it takes a village to raise a child, and for that we are truly grateful. Learning, sharing, and support is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what is on offer at CCQE. They not only excel in embracing our native Māori culture, but they also strongly embrace all cultures within the centre. It is evident in the growth we have seen in our daughter as she has grown into her own little personality. Keep up the amazing Mahi! Nga mihi Kia koutou whanau katoa x

The Clendon Whanau

As a working professional Central City is very supportive and accommodating. My son was there 7 years ago and now my daughter and the amazing service and care remains the same! I love the bond they all make with my babies, the guidance they provide and their communication. I have never had any concerns. Highly recommend this whanau environment 👌

Our son has been going to CCQE for almost a year now and they have really helped and encouraged him to come out of his shell. We’re super proud of the progress he’s made in his confidence and can’t thank CCQE enough.

CCQE pukaki has been amazing my daughter absolutely loves it. From our first visit we felt comfortable and welcome. The teachers are always approachable and lovely. My daughter loves all the art supplies most of all. We feel blessed to have had our daughter spend her days here. Thank you!

Jordon Pauling

Our family have had the fortune of been part of the CCQE whānau at Pukuatua Street for over three years. From the early infant to preschooler days, our boys have been embraced by this special group of teachers who have nurtured their different and extra needs through understanding, patience, positivity, and love. We always find the teachers to be approachable, accommodating, proactive and keen to share the little stories about their day. The same staff have been there since we started which has added to the trust we have in the centre. If you are looking for a home away from home that is safe, clean, caring and fun for your child, then this is that special place. We believe we found the best Rotorua has to offer in early childhood education. We are truly thankful for the inclusive welcome our family has received, for the many times they have gone above and beyond to help us, and the genuine love they have for our boys.

Anne and Michelle Doherty

Our 2 kids started when they turned 1, Richard is now at school and Charlotte is in her last year. The teachers do an amazing job, the kids are stimulated and happily entertained, loved and cared for. You have helped them grow in so many ways. Each day is structure which is great when transitioning to school. We will be forever in your debt for building the foundation to a great start in their life’s.
