Invitations to explore
Our environments are designed with endless invitations and proposals, offered to enrich and challenge our children's thinking and hypothesising.
Welcome to Bear Park Remuera
A place where the process of inquiry is valued.

Light-filled studios, a central piazza and a performing-arts room. Glass where there could be walls, so you can always see what your child is learning.
A culture of curiosity
Through our teachers' genuine engagement with our children, they are encouraged to navigate into the realm of discovery and learning.
Learning made visible
With an emphasis on transparency, our learning experiences are visible to all observers: parents, teachers and other children.

My daughter has been here since she
"My daughter has been here since she was 6 months old, and the experience has been nothing short of amazing. The structure of the centre really works — there’s a great balance between routine and flexibility, which has helped her feel secure while still encouraging her to explore and grow."
Tina G.Parent · Remuera
Smiling and busy exploring
"A fantastic preschool! The environment is incredibly welcoming and full of positive energy. Every time I visit, the kids are smiling and busy exploring the world around them. Most importantly, my son is very happy here and looks forward to school every day."

No bright plastic toys
"My 2 sons have been at Bear park from 10 months of age right through until they started school at age 5. We love the center and the wonderful kaiako that teach there. We particularly like the focus on using natural resources (no bright plastic toys!) and encouraging open ended, explorative play and investigations."

At Bear Park Remuera we staff our rooms beyond what the ratio asks, so every kaiako can genuinely know every child in their care. Knowing how a child communicates, what makes them light up, what they need when they're unsettled, that depth is what makes truly excellent early childhood education possible. Our ratios exceed licensing minimums, and our infant and toddler rooms are especially well-staffed.
Every kaiako at Bear Park Remuera is supported by our Curriculum and Operations team, experienced qualified teachers in leadership roles who mentor staff and ensure the delivery of well-rounded, tailored curriculum at the centre. At least 80% of our kaiako hold an ECE or Primary teaching qualification at NZQA Level 7 or above, with Teaching Council of Aotearoa New Zealand registration. Our Centre Director brings extensive ECE sector experience to the leadership of the centre.
Bear Park Remuera caters for tamariki aged 3 months to 5 years. We offer continuity of care so children don't need to move settings as they grow.
Current fee schedules can be requested from the Centre Director.
Bear Park early learning centres offer the New Zealand Government's 20 Hours ECE subsidy. The scheme allows Bear Park to subsidise fees for up to 20 hours of early childhood education per week for children aged three to five.
