WHAT DO OUR PARENTS HAVE TO SAY?
Highly recommend Good Seed Trust!
Here at Riverside, staff become family, they're kind, understanding and Patient to say the least. Our babies become confident learners filled with FUN and all that good stuff. My whanau have had the privilege of celebrating my son's birthday with his friends two years in a row, creating beautiful relationships among our community and everything in between.
Goodseeds was home for my girls, both attended when they were babies and were one of the first when the under 2s area opened up. It was home away from home, the staff all became Aunty and Uncle and memories they shared there will be treasured forever. Forever grateful for the Amazing work the teachers invested in my children. Highly recommend this Centre. My girls now attend the After School care and Holiday Programme and love being part of the older programme that Goodseeds offer. All staff are caring and loving, professional and very authentic. Thank you for taking care of my Babies GST
Awesome daycare. My son went there so excited and learnt so much from this school, he came home with a positive attitude, which built his confidence into talking a lot with us and not only his peers. Love the teachers who take good care of him. Best decision I've made since pulling him out of home school. Overall very good day care, so would recommend for all babies/ toddlers. Honestly wouldn't change it for the world
I can't emphasise enough how much of a family feel at Good Seeds. The staff and owners place so much importance on your whole whanau and will bend over backwards to ensure you're all taken care of. The teachers care for the tamariki like their own, and my daughter has been loved and cherished from day one. I also appreciate their open-door policy and how great they are at communicating with parents. I highly recommend this wonderful ECE; I'd give them 7 [of 5] stars if I could!
GOOD SEEDS CHILDREN'S CENTRE PHILOSOPHY
The principles and strands of Te Whāriki (Early Childhood Curriculum) are embedded in our practice. We include Christian Values and believe our tamariki are seen as treasures (taonga). Tamariki are unique, and fearfully and wonderfully made. (Psalms 139:14)
We believe in Empowering relationships through Aroha (Love), Manaakitanga (Care, Integrity and Respect) and Whanaungatanga (Sense of Family).

OUR LEARNING STYLE
At Good Seeds, our learning style is based on the idea that children learn best when they’re interested in what they’re doing, which we call "Joyful Learning." For this to happen, we believe children need an environment that reflects home, where they feel comfortable and secure.
Our centre has an open-plan design, allowing children of all ages to explore freely without walls, making learning and play feel natural and enjoyable.

-
We acknowledge and value the individual differences in all our tamariki
-
We embrace and respect the diversity and cultures of all tamariki
