Home / About
Ko wai mātou, who we areEverything we have learnt, in one village.
Borman Village Kids reflects all that we have gathered over our years in early childhood, and what we believe is best practice for tamariki and their whānau.
We have a community where parents and children feel supported and can thrive, where you have a voice and we reflect your family's values and hopes.
Family focus
Run by a family, for families.
Our owner is a father of four and has been a centre owner-operator since May 2000. That experience shapes everything here.
Borman Village Kids is decades of learning about what helps children, and families, feel settled, safe and ready to thrive.
Purpose-built design
Spaces designed around your child.
We designed our centre ourselves, with classrooms shaped to the developmental needs of each age.
We focus on infant care, toddler transitions and preschool, in calm, natural spaces that exceed the Ministry's requirement for room per child.
Built with room to breathe
More space, more nature, more time.

Our curriculum
Learning woven through the day.
Our programme is based on Te Whāriki, New Zealand's early childhood curriculum, weaving care and education through planned and everyday moments.
Those moments build the knowledge, skills and attitudes that grow confident, capable learners.
- Care and education togetherNot one or the other, both, all day.
- Planned and spontaneousWe follow children's interests as they unfold.
- Local walks and excursionsThe neighbourhood is part of our classroom.
