We nurture independence and school readiness, giving children the tools to succeed in their next big step.
Growing confidence
Our settling process for little ones is unhurried and respectful, ensuring a warm transition into our centre family.
Gentle settling
Care environments designed specifically for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers to match their unique growth needs.
Developmental stage care
We embrace child-led exploration, where curiosity drives the unhurried curriculum and natural discovery.
Learning through play
Consistency is key. Our small teams ensure children see the same friendly kaiako every day, building deep trust.
Familiar faces
Geckos Childcare Centres has two small, family-owned centres in converted Regent houses, creating cosy, homelike environments where every child is genuinely known. Both centres maintain at least 80% qualified teaching staff, supported by experienced ECE educators who bring valuable knowledge, warmth and continuity to the team.
Small centres where children are genuinely known
Familiar Faces & Strong Relationships
At Geckos, we prioritise the deep sense of trust that comes from seeing the same familiar faces each day.
As small boutique childcare and daycare centres in Regent, we can foster these strong relationships.
Care Designed Around Developmental Stages
We understand that a baby's needs are different from a preschooler's. That's why we have tailored our two Regent centres to support specific developmental stages. From the calm, nurturing spaces at Little Geckos to the adventurous, independent play-based environment at Big Geckos, every room is designed to support children as they grow and explore.
