The Garden Early Childhood Centre can be found in two convenient locations, Omokoroa and Gate Pa, Tauranga.

The Garden Omokoroa can be found in a semi rural setting just off Omokoroa Road. Conveniently placed for both the community of Omokoroa and the wider rural community. Situated in easy access to State Highway 2 for those who need to commute into Tauranga and beyond.

The Garden Gate Pa can be found on Cameron Road, directly opposite Mitre 10. Perfect for families heading into town for work, close to the hospital and the Gate Pa shopping complex.

The environment at The Garden is beautifully and thoughtfully set up with natural and recycled materials to create a home away from home. This is an inspiring and spacious environment for between 40 to 45 children aged between 3 months and 6 years.

Children are encouraged to explore, question and discover. They are viewed as competent and confident individuals who lead their own learning alongside caring teachers who support and guide them.
