Big Steps Educare

Where adventures begin

Our nonprofit community-owned and operated early childhood center in East Otago serves as a vital resource for families in our rural community. Committed to fostering a nurturing and inclusive environment, we prioritise the holistic development of every child. Our experienced Kaiako provide engaging and educational experiences that reflect the unique culture and values of the community, promoting strong connections among tamariki, families, whānau, and caregivers. By working collaboratively with local organisations, we strive to enhance access to quality early education, ensuring that all tamariki in East Otago have the opportunity to thrive and grow in a supportive setting.

Enroll your child at Big Steps Educare for a nurturing environment that promotes respect, lifelong skills, interdependence (tamariki working with and alongside others), and autonomy amongst a diverse community of learners
