My experience with Little Dinosaurs has been incredibly positive. The liked that it was a smaller kindergarten for my son as it allowed for more personalised attention, which I greatly appreciated. He made lots of friends and I also made lots of new mum friends!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The best little daycare in Central Auckland! So wonderful having mixed age groups. It meant our 2 and 4 year old could be in the same space every day, sharing the same experiences, learning from the older children. The teachers are incredibly caring and attentive - always going the extra mile to make sure the kids feel safe and at ease.

My son Alex has recently graduated and moved to school after several years at Little Dinosaur. He loved his time there, especially the sand pit and painting activities constantly available and the teachers have been so patient and supportive of him (and me) as he has developed and faced challenges.
