Our centre will be open from 10 - 12, with some of the teaching team available to chat through your questions, so you can see our space and check if the centre is aligned to your parenting philosophies.

There is plenty of parking both in our car park and on the street.

Your children are more than welcome to attend alongside you, we would love to meet them!

Why we run open days as opposed to tours:

There are a couple of reasons. The first being that it enables the teaching team to be able to focus on you, your whanau and your questions.

The second reason; it ensures we are protecting the wellbeing of our infants. It can be quite overwhelming for the children with lots of adults coming through the centre (particularly in our under 2 years) on a daily basis. We will still tour through if this open day format doesn't work for you (or if we have offered you a position) however we do thank you in advance for your understanding on why we are careful to limit tours through our centre.

Lastly, if you are concerned that you might not see the centre authentically in action as Open Day is the best way to start the journey with us. It gives you time to chat to the management team, then if you decide you want to join us and we offer you a spot you are absolutely more than welcome to come into the centre during the opening hours to see it "in action."

If you have any questions around the open day format vs your own tour, just reach out, we are happy to help.

We also recommend:

We recommend you attend our (adults only) talk around finding the right ECE for you. This will give you the chance to sit and focus with our management team and have some questions answered around how things work in the ECE world. This is designed to be an intimate, thorough discussion. Following this talk, you will have a brief overview of all the options available in ECE and a strong view on how things work here at Oma Rapeti, so will know whether or not to pursue a spot as part of our whanau.
