Little Citizens

Ngā Kirirau Pakupaku

Little Citizens gives your child a head start for life! We provide high quality early childhood education for preschool children in Dunedin.

If you’ve been thinking about options such as an early childhood centre or a kindergarten for your child, talk to us about how our child-centred programmes can ensure your child has the skills and knowledge they need to thrive at school and beyond.

Little Citizens is a high quality service, focussed on your child’s learning and growth.  Your child will progress through our three specialist rooms Kiwi (ages 0 – 2), Tui (ages 2 – 3  ½ ) and Kotuku (ages 3 ½  –  5) each with highly experienced, qualified, teachers dedicated to your child’s progress.

Little Citizen's offers diverse learning opportunities to support the development and growth of tamariki through play. We collaborate with each tamaiti and their whānau to create personalised learning plans and capture their learning journey in learning stories using Educa (a dedicated app that you can use to follow the stories).  Additionally, we showcase these stories and achievements throughout our center.

Little Citizens provides healthy breakfasts for the whole family, lunch, and dinners at no extra cost.

Little Citizens is also the home of ENGAGE, a world-first programme pioneered by Dr Dione Healey at the University of Otago that helps children develop the executive functioning (control over feeling, thinking and behaving) that is crucial to adult success and which is first formed at ages 3 and 4.  Little Citizens is the first ECE in New Zealand to partner in the development of ENGAGE into a full ECE programme.
