Woodlands Dallington

Welcome to Woodlands Dallington Preschool

Tucked away in Dallington, close to The Palms, our specially designed Woodlands Preschool provides a lively and inclusive environment for children aged 0 to 5. We honor the rich tapestry of cultures and languages within our tamariki and whānau, demonstrating a robust commitment to responsive and respectful practices.


Our thoughtfully curated centre features open-plan classrooms, a dedicated nursery for our youngest learners, and expansive outdoor play areas that inspire curiosity and connection with nature. Children immerse themselves in enriching learning experiences—both indoors and outdoors—through creative play, messy exploration, and hands-on discovery.


With a team of experienced teachers and a nurturing atmosphere, Woodlands Dallington is a place where each child’s identity is treasured and every learner is empowered to flourish.
