We are proud of the quality of work we deliver, the environment we create for our children, and the education we provide at Waiapu Kids St Francis.

Thoughts from some of our parents and teachers about Waiapu Kids St Francis:

Thank you very much for making my three kids the way they are today, because without you they could be on a different path. I really cherish the teachers and I love them for all they have done for me, and my family, and my community.

Chris, parent, August 2018

I wish I’d known about this place when my older children were younger – I actually would have sent them here.

Kennedy, teacher, August 2018

I have two children here. Waiapu (Kids) is a family-oriented centre. Everybody is treated equally and they go the extra mile for our kids.

Laila, parent, December 2018

We love our whānau and our community as one, we don’t say no to anybody. No matter what you’ve got going on you are welcome. We want to see our community do really good.

Kathy, teacher, August 2018

I love all the teachers. I like how they treat the children as if they’re their own.

Marica, parent, December 2018

I love how everyone is so welcoming and treat you as part of their family. My daughter has felt at home from day one. We love our second home.
