Exceptional childcare with a focus on education and building confidence
Family owned, child focused, love filled
Pukeko Preschool Manurewa is a friendly, loving, family-owned and run early childhood education centre for children from birth to five years old.
A place to feel safe, learn freely, and grow confidently
Pukeko Preschool Manurewa is a friendly, loving preschool, located in the heart of Manurewa.
Teachers are focused on education with a commitment to following our vision of putting your children at the centre of everything we do.
Our curriculum follows children’s interests and urges, and our philosophy is based around considering what kind of adults we want our children to become.
Emphasis is on nurturing your child's growth, curiosity, and creating a love for learning in a safe and supportive environment.
Inspiring young minds
We have a reputation as a high quality early learning centre and preschool.
With a focus on education and building confidence in our children through the Reggio Emilia philosophy, we are led by Penny Brownlee's philosophy to follow the children's individual urges - using a fun and well planned curriculum, which includes activities and trips.
Separate spaces to learn and play
When you enter Pukeko Preschool Manurewa through into our lovely outdoor play-space, you and your children will feel welcomed and part of our Pukeko family.
There is separate, refurbished and upgraded indoor and outdoor play-space areas for over and under two year-olds, which are staffed well above Ministry of Education guidelines.
Get in touch with any enquiries or to arrange a tour time.
Stop by any time!
We'd love to meet you and discuss your family's childcare and early childhood education needs.
Just stop by the preschool at any time!
Alternatively, feel free to give us a call or send an email to arrange a time to come in and meet our manager and teachers.
Pukeko Preschool is open from 7:30 am to 6:00 pm, all year round (including school holidays).

Pukeko Preschool Manurewa
Kia Ora, Bula and Namaste!
My name is Nikisha Kumar, and I am a qualified Early Childhood Teacher currently working for Pukeko Preschool Manurewa.
I joined the Pukeko family in 2019, and have then proceeded to finish my Bachelor of Teaching in 2020 from New Zealand Tertiary College.
I enjoy working with children and improving their quality of learning.
I believe that it takes a village to raise a child and the Pukeko Preschool Manurewa team is no different in providing our tamariki opportunities to help them succeed as young citizens.
I my spare time, I enjoy baking and art
