Nurturing inquisitive young minds in the Greenhithe community for 30 years.
Welcome to The Cottage! We’re an early learning centre that offers a loving environment to nurture your child’s potential.
Our Centre
Choosing an early learning centre for your child is a difficult and emotional decision - one we completely understand. Our philosophy is to ensure all our children’s needs, interests, and natural inclinations are met with respect and care.
Safe Learning Environment
The Cottage is thoughtfully laid out to nurture and inspire children aged 0-6 years
Home Away From Home
Our centre is a place where children, whānau, and teachers feel comfortable, settled, and at home.
Power of Play
Learning happens organically when children are given the opportunity to create and act on their own ideas.
Our Rooms
We have three homely rooms designed to cater for your child based on their age and needs.

“My child loves The Cottage and the teachers are nurturing whilst providing great structure and play-based learning. The class sizes are just right and I’ve really been impressed by how easy everything is.”
