Welcome to a hidden treasure in North East Valley
A Community based Centre with small session sizes and strong community values


Why come to Islington?
Islington Early Childhood Centre is a small, not-for-profit, community-based Centre providing high-quality education for tamariki aged 2-5 years.
​
We are open 8:30-2:30pm, 5 days a week, excluding school holidays.
Located in the heart of North East Valley, Dunedin for the last 50 years.
Our small group size allows for up to 20 children to thrive each day. Our welcoming environment enhances the sense of belonging for both tamariki and whanau.
Our doors are always open for Islington whanau and community engagement is valued and encouraged in both tamariki learning and centre participation

Our Philosophy
'Learning for Life'
At Islington we provide a safe and fun environment with the help of our new improved outdoor playground, where children feel secure in their sense of belonging.

We are all about community, family and most of all the children.

The teachers and committee welcome you to visit Islington and see first hand what we have to offer your family.
