The Y Glenfield Early Learning Centre
Early learning with children at its heart
Joining The Y family from October 2024, the Glenfield centre has a new name, with the same great team - so you can be sure of excellent quality learning and care for your children.
We believe that the inclusion of our family and community are an integral part of every child's development. Therefore our teachers take every opportunity to communicate with our whanau/ extended whanau (verbally and through Story Park), in order to build those long life relationships that build trust and unity over the coming years.

BOOK A FREE VISITOur Curriculum
Our early childhood curriculum follows the Te Whariki Early Childhood Curriculum, set by the Ministry of Education. From this we want our children to become competent, confident learners, who are healthy in their mind, body and spirit. We also want them to realise that they make a contribution to society that is valued.
Explore, learn & smile!
Our environment supports nature both inside and outside – located within a large park space with a range of different landscapes, we have easy access to the wider world, with an arts and craft area, a range of books and a block space to enable children to explore and discover what they’ve seen outside.
Strength & success!
Learning also comes from within. Our home corner enables children to free-play and role-play, stirring, filling, emptying, pouring, shaking, trying things on and taking them off.
Jump, move & have fun!
Glenfield has a variety of play areas - access to playing fields and wide-open spaces.
